Each Kindergarten and 1st grade class were given one of three male ducks to choose from, together each class compared and contrasted the differences between the three ducks such as bill shape and color, feather patterns, eye color, head shape and color and so on. Then we used our best observational skills to draw one of the ducks, adding the details we saw and using realistic colors. While the children worked on their artwork we listened to the calming sounds of a duck pond. All the students enjoyed learning about different duck species and creating a wonderful piece of art.
Every year it is a tradition for EWG schools to participate in the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Program. This program is designed to combine science and art while raising awareness of nature conservation
