Did You Know Frogs Have Tails?

Fogs have tails? Yes they do, but only for a short time.  Class 1-3 learned a few facts about frogs from a non-fiction book called How a Frog Grows by Celia Benton.  After charting information they already knew about frogs students listened to the story and together we added some new information they learned about how frogs grow.  They talked about the frogs laying eggs in the water and tadpoles coming out of the eggs.  They learned how the tadpole's tail shrinks as their front and hind legs grow.  Before the students left the library they had to write about two facts they they wanted to share with each other and added an illustration of their new knowledge.  After this lesson they will never see a frog the same way again.
