ping

one of the curriculums i have been using for preschool is "5 in a row." last week we read "the story of ping,"

 everyday and did projects centered around it. ping is a duck on the yangtze river who gets separated from his family and captured by a boy on a fishing boat. he almost gets eaten, but is rescued by the boy who caught him and then thrown back into the river to find his family. 

w practiced drawing the illusion of water by making ripples.

he put ping on the map where his home is... on the yangtze.

and to top it all of he got to have duck tonight with a friend of ours. he did inform me though, that the duck's name was not ping... it was pong!

(by the way, all of w's artwork is being held up by his "favorite people" magnets... in case you happen to see yourself:)
