by Nancy Tafuri. A mother duck starts off with eight ducklings and one independent duckling goes off on her own to hide. The duckling hides in the reeds as mama duck asks the pond residents if they have seen her duckling.
Our craft required straight line scissor cutting for the grass. Overall the children did a great job. We try to incorporate a lot of scissor use in our crafts. They glued the grass on the 'pond' and added two ducklings.
We also did a dictation activity today. We have been talking about the arrival of spring for several weeks. The children told me what happens in the spring or things we can do in the spring. You will notice on the sheet that comes home in the spring is in bold and underlined for some beginning reading for you and your child. Add this to your child's story book. There will be a lot more stories coming home this year and next year.
Happy Spring (although the extended forecast says snow showers)
