Wednesday, April 18th

Yesterday felt like winter, but today was beautiful.  It was a great day to take a different group of children to the canal to see the ducklings.  KW now has 12 children enrolled on Wednesday, so we were thrilled that Praveen was available to take the walk with us.  Once at the canal, we easily found the original seven ducklings.  We had brought food bags and Praveen also brought bread along.   The ducks and ducklings had a feast!  After a bit, many children moved further away from the canal to dig in the dirt.  This allowed the ducklings to feel safe enough to venture onto the grassy area to rest.  We have been thinking about nests the past several days.  Seeing the ducks along the shore led us to wonder if they have a specific nest, or if they just rest in any grassy area.  Along the way, we enjoyed running up the brick columns and exploring puddles.  The Tucker Room children notice vibrations every time we are near the water.  A big "thank you" goes out to Praveen, who made today's trip possible!
