Hiding

In a kindergarten classroom you clean up a lot of toys! It seems that when I was cleaning Quackers thought it would be funny if he was put away with the regular stuffed animals. He wasn't fond Monday, wasn't found Tuesday but finally on Wednesday one of my smart ducklings went "Teacher! He might be in the toy box!" And sure enough he was! Silly Quackers!

SuperDuck!

I know hes repeating an old idea... But can you blame him? Everyone wants to be a superhero at some point!

Sweetness

On Friday the kids earned an extra sweet snack... but look what happened to the rest! Bad Quackers! Stop eating the Halloween Candy for the kids!

Gone Fishing

It's Friday, an absolutely gorgeous Friday where I wish I could be fishing... and it looks like Quackers wishes the same!

Batty

Halloween is still WEEKS away but my ducklings are already super excited! I've already heard about my princesses, my ninja turtles... almost everything! Well, today, the ducklings drove Quackers absolutely BATTY... with a few new bat friends to hang out with!

Stuck in a Web

The little ducklings (especially the girls) freaked out when they saw poor Quackers up in the spiders web! He was so high up (and I"m so short, so how in the world could I save him?) that he was most certainly doomed! The poor duck! Luckily the spider was nice and only wanted to give him a sticky hug.

Beep Beep!

A yellow truck appeared in the room today, and of course Quackers decided to keep it!

Sunny Days

My room is a little dark because my windows are tinted, so Quackers decided to brighten the place up with his sunny disposition!

Smart Duck

Bad Quackers! Those were for the kids! 

As usual Quackers keeps them guessing! The kids couldn't find him anywhere! During snack I pulled out the candy bag and said...
"Quackers! How did you get in there?"
*16 pairs of eyes on me*
"I'll have to get you out... *rips bag open and duck and empty smarties wrappers go flying*
Eight students went for the wrappers, two went for the duck, and the other ten sat in shock that he 'ate' that much candy!

Quackers Who?

The 'Invisible Glasses' came out today... and guess who got into them right away!

When I wear my Invisible Glasses the kids can't talk to me, I'm 'invisible' in the classroom! This comes in handy when I need to grade papers, or set up the afternoon lessons while the art teacher or music teacher is in the room. I've had an observer come in the room too and when they're in there they can just hold the 'invisible glasses' and the kids know they can't talk to them!

I actually picked this up when I was in a preschool classroom a few years ago as an undergrad and decided to implement it into my own classroom, and so far, it's been a hit! Here are a few comments from my kids:

"Miss is back!"
"The art teacher is still here..."
"Miss S are you invisible?"
"I think she's invisible."
Me: "I'm invisible."
"Aww... I wanted to show you my monster..."
"And mine!"
"Oh and mine too!" 

Stickered Up!

I bought new stickers today and you know what that pest did!? He got into them! Ooh that crazy, crazy duck of mine....

Rub a dub dub

Open House night! Unfortunetly, only the parents go the joke of 'three ducks in a tub', but at least Quackers finally got a bath from sitting on the dusty ledge!

Rub a dub dub
Three ducks in a tub! 

Quackers = 8 Letters

Finally, a craft that Quackers can do! Since he's finally going through Kindergarten, he's learning how many letters are in his name! Many of the kids were able to spell their own names, and had fun learning how many letters were in their names too!
