Almost a Frog!

Just overnight Pin's front legs popped out! He seems to be enjoying swimming about, landing on Jade, and sitting on the leaves. He will need to be moved to a dryer tank with some water and rocks. Until Jade changes, she will have to remain alone in the water tank. Hurry up Jade - Pin is waiting for you!

The Mystery May Be Solved

Last week our students were very curious as to why Jade isn't changing into a frog. We visited a website called http://www.bullfrogs.com/Bullfrog-Tadpoles.html
We discovered a few facts which may solve Jade's Mystery!
1. The Bullfrog tadpole has an arrowhead-shaped body with a dorsal fin that actually begins behind its body. Tadpoles are actually quite large.
2. Bullfrog tadpoles have speckled-brown skin.
3. A Bullfrog tadpole has the ability to re-grow its tail if it loses it to a predator or by some other means.
4. Bullfrog tadpoles can remain in the same state for as long as one to two years before they actually become adult frogs!
5. Once the tadpole matures into an adult Bullfrog, it will be one of the largest frogs in the world, a carnivorous predator that will eat just about anything it can fit into its mouth!

No Changes for Jade

Jade has no changes! Her little leg buds didn't come yet. I wonder if Jade's little legs will ever grow. It's a mystery that just can't be solved. We just have to give it more time. (Nate 3LC)

May Update

Pin's legs are getting big. There are no changes with the other tadpole, Jade. Tadpoles may need up to 5 weeks to change. Pin's webbed feet help him swim, but we see no front leg buds yet. My frog powerpoint will be posted soon. I can't wait until they become frogs.
