A few weeks ago, our tadpoles arrived and my class has been so excited having them in our room. We have set up a lamp over their tank and the tadpoles really go crazy when we turn the lamp on. The quickly swim to get closer to the light.

My students voted on naming the tadpoles and the class agreed on Mario and Giggly Puff. This week we have been doing frog research projects to go along with our All About unit and my kids are so excited. One of my students told his partner, "This is so much fun!" His partner said "I know, I haven't done this in so long!" I love to see students excited about learning.
I explained to the class that they are frog scientist and that they will become the expert on their frogs. Then, they would create a product that displays what they had learned about their frogs. Today was the first day that they were in the creative phase of this project. Yesterday was their research day and tomorrow we will continue our projects. I am so excited to see how the finished product ends up.
