--from "Dimmity Duck" by Jan Yolen
Carson has been quoting this part of the book to me since we visited the duck pond. A few weeks ago we finished our Duck unit but it was much too cold to try to go look at actual ducks.
So when my husband got horribly sick and had to be taken to the urgent care, we took advantage of the sunshine and duck pond around the corner instead of sitting in a hot bath of germs.
And it was delightful.
There's nothing like an authentic experience to boost a child's learning.
We all came away with something that day:
The baby had a lovely nap in the sunshine.
Carson learned some new duck vocabulary.
And my poor sick husband who had been dropped off at the urgent care came home with the flu.
Don't worry, he's better now.
And the kids and I didn't get it because we had our flu shots!
So you can enjoy these beautiful pictures worry-free:
