This week our Ducks will working with the theme of Heroes. They come in all professions, all ages, all shapes, and all sizes! Most of the Ducks understand fire trucks, police cars, etc., but at this time if it weren't for our retail workers, delivery personnel, truck drivers, medical staff, our home bound teachers, we all would have a much rougher time during this Quarantine. Memorial Day honors our arm forces veteran heroes that died for this country. Celebrate them with flags! If you have one of these heroes in your family, get a picture out and show the kids. They may not understand the concepts, but kids love pictures and stories. from your perspective.  You never know what will stick in that memory bank of theirs!
