South America

Hello! 

Quackers has offically visited Brazil, our first stop in South America! 

Belo Horizonte

The duck has visited the city called BELO HORIZONTE which is the capital of the state MINAS GERAIS.

This place in the back used to be a train station. If I'm not wrong, this place was built back in 1800s. Now it a museum called "Museu de artes e oficios" in which we can see how people used to work back in the day, and some professionals that no longer exist.

Thank you to our friend in Brazil!

You Goat Mail!

Hello little fellow! Today we had a visit from a farm in Morris, CT! 

Quackers had fun visiting with the goats today! 

I wonder if he's found a new favorite animal? 

The students had fun petting the baby goats, 

and were amazed at how big they could get when they grow up! 

Quackers and I went home to read 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff', 

and I've added a video here if you'd like to read it too! 

Enjoy! 

P.S. I pulled this from Youtube, 

please look for another version and enjoy more read alouds that are available! 

British Virgin Islands

Bye Quackers! Have fun swimming in the deep blue sea! 

Quackers was spotted floating near the British Virgin Islands!

Don't forget to come back to CT, Quackers and friends! 

Someone's in the Kitchen!

 Someone is in the kitchen with rubber ducks! 

Someone is in the kitchen I know! 

Someone is in the kitchen with rubber ducks! 

Cooking up a storm! 

What delicious food could he have made? 

Thank you to my friends who allowed the field trip to the local bakery! 

Everything looked delicious and definitely tasted delicious too! 

Greece is the Word!

Quackers was very busy lately! He went out with his little friend to Greece! Here our traveling friend is checking out the parthenon! 

Here our friend is enjoying the sights! 

Thank you again to our friend who was traveling and was able to visit the Acropolis of Athens! Did you know that the hill may have been inhabited since possibly around 495 BC?

Hollywood!

Quackers was able to visit the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA! 

Did you know that this theater is over 90 years old? 

It opened in 1927! 

I wonder if Quackers ever wanted to be in a movie?

Thank you to my friends in California for helping Quackers go on his journey! 

London Bridge is Falling Down....

Quackers went back to London, England again! I think he's going to live there one of these days. He brought back skittles and a lovely postcard to share with his friends! Welcome home, Quackers! 

Yippie Kay Yay!

Quackers is... horsing around! 

Think he's still upset that I didn't take him to the rodeo a few months back? 

Happy Pirate Day!

Arghh! It's Talk like a Pirate Day! Oh dear, who let Quackers steer!?
(Thank you to Glove Cove in CT for this picture! Indoor golf, who knew?)

Here are few funny pirate jokes (courtesy of Quackers!) 

What is a pirates favorite letter? 

RRRRRRRRRRRRRR! 

Why does it take a pirate forever to learn the alphabet? 

Cause he always gets stuck at C! 

What did the pirate say on his 80'th birthday? 

Ay, Matey! (I'm eighty!) 

What do sea monsters like to eat? 

Fish and Chips! 

Seeing Double....

Oh no... I'm seeing double trouble... What did they get into this time? 

Happy First Day of School!

Quackers found a book that was his size! And it came with a friend! 

I wonder if there is a book about called 'If you Take a Duck to School!" 

Hope everyone had a wonderful first day of school! 

Car Wash!

Ever take a kid to the car wash for the first time? 

Well... I took Smidgean for the first time and he loved it! 

Africa Map

Quackers has visited: 

- Zimbabwe 

- Zambia 

Eclipse 2017

What is that crazy duck up to? I told him we needed to have special glasses for the eclipse, and he went and made himself glasses out of an eclipse gum wrapper! What a silly duck! 

After a small argument that using those glasses will really not work, he finally listened and watched the eclipse in a home made eclipse viewer! Hope you all got to enjoy the eclipse too! 

Asia Map

Quackers has been to Asia! He hasn't gone far, but the pictures he does bring back are amazing!
So far he's been in:
- India
- Japan
- Russia 

Quackers Map of North America

Hello again! He has not hit all fifty states yet, but he does need help traveling to the other countries in North America! 

I wonder which map is going to fill up first! 

Balloon Festival!

Quackers' dream of floating in the skies with his own hot air balloon with a real one came true! 

Just don't forget to come back down, Quackers! 

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess!

Happy Birthday Dr. Suess! Quackers was strutting his stuff as a Sneech! 

In class we tried to read The Cat in the Hat, but everyone was giggling at Quackers too much to listen! 

Duck Day 2017

Quacker's family participated in Duck Day in CT this year! There is a huge celebration where everyone comes down to celebrate everything that is duck related! There are prizes for the best dressed duck and for who ever wins the scavenger hunt! At the end of the day there are thousands of ducks that participate in a river race! These ducks are dumped into the river and who which ever duck hits the end line first, wins!

Mystic Aquarium

Quackers was able to visit Mystic Aquarium and he had a blast! He saw a beluga whale, penguins, seals and was able to ride Nemo, the Submarine!

Montreal, Canada

Thank you Susie for this picture! 

Quackers left the country! 

He decided to check out Montreal, Canada and see the sights!

 He was able to see quite a few historical churches, a botanical garden and picked up a pretty pin along the way!
