See duck. See duck swim
Tara-Lee Turcotte’s Gr. 3 class at St. Mary of the Lake School experienced a wonder of creation last week. They cared for and watched a clutch of duck eggs hatch as part of the science curriculum called Life Cycles. Twenty eggs came from Peace River and spent 28 days in an incubator. Eleven of them pecked their way to freedom. The new paddle (group of ducks) enjoyed its first swim last Monday to the delight of the entire school.
“Two hatched first that we like to call Fluffy and May, says nine-year-old Rainbow Twin. “We’re going to keep taking care of them until they don’t need the light (incubator) any more.”
That will take another week or so when the not-so-ugly ducklings make their way to Turcotte’s sister’s farm.
