This week's lesson was all triggered by this little guy outside our front door. That is the beauty of homeschooling!
We went & caught tadpoles in our neighborhood lake
We caught 8 teeny tine tadpoles (they must have been 1 day or so old)
We will be keeping our tadpoles to watch a live lifecycle process from tadpole to frog. JJ is jouranling them almost daily, when we see them eat, etc.
learning about the lifecycle
Stay tunned as we are will be posting our tadpoles growth progress!
This is SO fantastic. My boys would LOVE it!!

ReplyDeleteHooray for tadpole season! I can't wait until baby j is old enough to appreciate the wonder of frogs! (I'm a new FF follower.)
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I was thinking about doing something like this with Selena, but never found any tadpoles. I look forward to seeing how it goes for you!
ReplyDeleteWe have been wanting to observe tadpoles~frogs. We might have to take a trip to the lake!
ReplyDeleteNatured inspired. How lucky a lesson knocked right on your front door(lol).
ReplyDeleteWE ahve a pond on our property and tons of frogs, but can never find the tadpoles. this is cool! Following with Follow Friday. Visit me at www.layers-of-learning.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHow funny, we are doing the same thing! We came across some tadpoles at the park, and brought 8 home as well!
ReplyDeleteWe've wanted to do a frog life cycle but we had very little rain so our nearby water never stayed wet for long last year. I'm hoping that this year will bring more rain or we'll be begging for someone closer to water to keep an eye out for us.
ReplyDeleteWe did a life cycle of the butterfly last year which was a lot of fun. The boys had a blast checking the caterpillars everyday to see what was happening.
