Ribbit, Ribbit went the kids all week long!
What is a frog? Where do they live? What do they eat? We were surprised to learn that some frogs don’t even have a tongue to catch bugs and some only have small tongues. Big frogs can even eat mice or other frogs! We also learned that if their environment is not healthy some frogs will be born with extra toes or legs! We learned about Poison Dart frogs; their characteristics such as being tiny, being brightly coloured (blues/oranges/reds) and having spots were surprising to some. We learned the difference between a frog and a toad. Even though they are from the same family they do have different characteristics ie: dry, bumpy skin vs and smooth, wet skin. We even learned about the frog lifecycle. There are so many things to learn about frogs!
The kids practiced their lowercase letter matching and identification with a lowercase letter Frog and Log game. We also sang 5 Green and Speckled Frogs and had a number and dice rolling activity to go with it. We journaled about frogs and their lifecycle. and of course you can't forget our paper plate frog with a curly tongue!
We are oh so fortunate to be able to spend longer days outdoors; worm searching, dandelion picking and frolicking about the fields and playgrounds!
