The ducklings have moved to their teenager pad in the duck house. They are growing their real feathers and drinking water like crazy. The little girls especially find them entertaining. Today we completed construction on their outdoor run. 
Our homeschooling events reached a head this week with the Envirathon Competition and Field Day. Pearl has been studying her Aquatics, Forestry, and Wildlife subjects with her team since January. They took quizzes on their subjects, having to answer as a team. Her specialty is Forestry, and she did great. Her team, the Marvelous Maples, came in second overall in a competition of 67 teams, one point behind the leader. We're pleased at this confirmation of all their memorization and learning this spring.
Here's a proud little reader. Sapphire has been diligent with her reading now that we have struck upon the rewards plan. After earning a trip to the Hands on House, she wanted to work toward a double scoop ice cream cone from Perrydell. I guess double scoops seem like a fantasy to a five year old! She earned her scoops, and now we are working toward the next goal. She's got a great attitude.
