MVS MPP after school program celebrated National Rubber Duckie Day this week! We learned about a cargo ship that lost a large container of bath toys in 1992 that left 28,800 Rubber Ducks lost at sea. Our students then played “Table is Lava” with rubber ducks. They were given 2 cups, 1 popsicle stick and 1 index card to build a bridge for the ducks. They were challenged to see how many ducks they could get to stay on their bridge. We love having fun while we learn!
