Aren't they just the neatest thing? Our children are just obsessed with them! Today we had three more tadpoles turn into frogs. That makes 7 miniature frogs in total!

Speckled Frogs
Four green and speckled frogs, sat on a speckled log...

Look at This!
We came to school today and found a surprise in our tadpole habitat! Little frogs! Our children were captivated and many spent their entire playtime watching the little creatures!
Word spread quickly as the children entered the classroom!
The frogs were sitting on the rocks and twigs in the habitat.
The children thought these two were so cute as they sat side by side together.
The best option was to put them in our terrarium with a tight fitting lid.
We will be releasing them soon!

We moved the frogs to a larger pan so they could be more easily viewed but they kept trying to escape!

We were amazed that they could climb the sides of the container and stick there!

Tadpoles!
We are so excited to announce that we have tadpoles in our classroom! A big thanks to Mrs. Shepley for helping us to set up our tadpole habitat! The children were amazed by how fast the little tadpoles swim through the water. It was fun to watch them nibbling on the lettuce we placed in the habitat for them to eat. We are looking forward to watching them grow legs and turn into little frogs.
We marked the date we welcomed the tadpoles into the classroom so we could see how long it took for them to turn into frogs. When they do, we'll look back and count the number of days the lifecycle took to complete.
Many children spent much of their playtime at the science table watching the little tadpoles swim and eat lettuce.
We placed some scientific props at the center to help encourage the children's exploration and play. The children were especially drawn to the little plastic frogs and the books about frogs. This child set up the frogs to comfort the tadpoles, in case they were scared by their new surroundings.

We learned from one of our nonfiction books about tadpoles that they are just a head with a tail. One of the children wondered if that meant that a tadpole's stomach was next to its brain. We're looking forward to finding out the answer!
