Extension Activities:

Craft: Duck Pond
This week's craft was developed from the picture at left.  The children were given a duck template to color.  (Template at bottom of this post.)  The template was then folded on the lines and glued at the head and tail so the ducks "stands".  The children then colored a paper plate and glued the duck to the plate.

Literacy Extensions:
- Learn about the different types of ducks.  There are informational books about ducks at the library for checkout.
- Visit a park with a pond to watch the ducks.  Try to identify the different types of ducks at that pond.
