Make Way For Ducklings!

Our class has had a great time watching as a duck created a nest and laid eggs in one of the Big Woods courtyards! It has been exciting to watch how she cared for her nest! The most exciting thing though was watching the babies waddle around after they had hatched! Since the duck nested in the courtyard, there was no way for her and the babies to leave! Last year, they made a duckling parade through the school. It was so cute but very stressful for the mother duck. This year as they were rounding up the babies they managed to safely grab the mother duck, get the babies into a box and transport all of them safely to a local pond. Here are some pictures of the roundup! Some are a bit blurry but the babies were moving so quickly it was hard to get a good picture of them! This was perfect timing as we discussed life cycles in science!
