Feeding The Ducks
As gross as it may be, I feel that feeding the ducks is a summer activity that every child should endure. Parents, it is bearable, as long as you are armed with hand sanitizer, old sneakers, and Wet Ones. My parents made me do it, and now I make my kids do it. They had fun.....it is a dirty activity, of course they had fun.
Here comes the teacher justification......there were lots of skills learned at the Duck Pond. The "God Girls", Elizabeth and Leah worked on sharing and cooperating.
Elizabeth worked on her fine motor skills by throwing those little pieces of corn, one at a time, in or near the water. It was also a bit of a speech and language lesson since Sissy perfected her duck noise while there.
Patrick worked on fine tuning his aim.....he was aiming for the butt's of the large geese when they stuck their heads under the water. He got quite good at it by the time we left.
I was very proud of Patrick because he really was being mature and independent at the Duck Pond. These two pictures are of him putting coins in the donation box, returning the empty corn cup, and getting a full corn cup all by himself! He did it three times and would have kept going if I hadn't "run out of coins".
