We hope you enjoy the metamorphosis of our tadpoles online as we watch at school. We'll keep you posted on the changes we are noticing each day. While you are waiting, you may want to read some of the books listed on tadpoles and frogs.
"Pin did a flip and was chasing a bug." by David and Anthony "He walked on the side of his tank." Ella and Matthew "He doesn't seem to be eating the fireflies." Jaclyn
First graders, Sonia, Botand, and Chris L. have been feeding Pin flies, fireflies, and other insects. We haven't seen him eat anything, but the bugs disappear after a while!
I found these tiny frogs 45 minutes from Chatham. They were in a big lake. I am researching frogs in the library to find out more about them! Collin. P.
Pin has moved to a new home. It looks like Pin may be a bullfrog afterall. Crickets are in his tank, but he hasn't eaten them yet. Jade seems sad in her water tank all alone. Pin seems to like his new wet and dry environment. He isn't used to hopping yet and flops about. He is very nervous around students and hides most of the time.
Pin's changes over the long weekend were amazing! His tail is shrinking away, his color has darkened, and he is breathing air. There are no changes for Jade.
