Quackers' best friends

Oh, Quackers, your best friends from the freezer can't be Ben and Jerry! They're my best friends from the freezer!
I hope everyone is staying cool this summer and checking out awesome sights, like the actual headquarters of Ben and Jerry in Waterbury, Vermont! While up there you can check out the factory, retired flavors and try a new flavor!

Introduction

Hello!

Welcome to the Just Ducky Classroom!

My name is Miss S. and I am an elementary education teacher in Connecticut. The focus of this blog is to share some classroom techniques that I have picked up in every classroom over the past few years, some insights on interviews and outfit planning, as well as a very large (think global) geography project!

The star of the show on this blog is Quackers, a beanie baby duck born in April of 1994. He became a part of my personal duck collection in the fall of 2015 and became an instant hit in the classroom. Quackers began to cause some mischief in the classroom, hiding classroom tools, flipping the calendar dates and so on. At one point he had enough of the cold Connecticut weather and was invited to Florida for a vacation! And thus, the adventures of Quackers began! With the help of some friends that are living across the country and other friends that live abroad, Quackers began to visit other countries and teach my students about geography, letter writing and interactions across the globe. Here is a collection of his adventures, student interactions and tales of his silliness.

Thank you for checking in!
