Life Is Happening

In between the rain showers, students had an opportunity to see the new goslings and ducklings that have hatched at the wetlands. There was a blended family of Canada geese (three adults) that had a gaggle of thirteen goslings. We also noticed a small family of ducks. Only three of their ducklings have survived. I learned that we have American Brown ducks.

Watching animals in nature gives opportunities for us to discuss being good stewards of both land and animals. Students discuss how to treat animals with respect and read their body language.
