| Publisher Description: This endearing story of Wood Duck hatchlings jumping from their nest high in a tree will delight and entertain young children. They will learn about the habitat and habits of these interesting "tree ducks." Children will also count down from 12 to zero as each baby bird zooms to the ground. Each little duck has their own way of jumping but find out what happens after they all reach the ground Science, social studies, math, and literacy are all rolled up in this "nest" While children will love this story, the book also provides multiple ways to support teachers in teaching literacy, math, science, and social studies through "Literacy Link" and "Learning Extensions."* This book provides many opportunities to count eggs and ducks, as well as to count down to zero. * Science: Discuss the life cycle of ducks.* Learn about Wood Duck habitat and nesting.* Diversity: Discuss how we all move (jump, walk, etc.), but we may also have our own unique ways of doing so * Rhyming Words: There is a set of rhyming words on each of the page spreads.
