Today, at circle time, we read the book Tadpole to Frog. We discussed the life cycle of frogs, and again reviewed what types of animals and bugs are most commonly found in or around ponds. As our first small group activity, we worked on theme words, identifying and matching letters by hopping our frogs from one labeled lily pad to another. We sorted frogs by color in the second group. Then, during the third activity, we conducted an experiment with paper water lilies. We colored them, folded the petals in to the middle, and placed them in water to watch how the petals unfolded. We talked about how the flowers open up to the sun and how our flowers soaked up the water causing the petals to fall open toward it. We had a great Thursday!
