HHHIISSSS

Today we learned about snakes! Eeewwww! Ok, just for me, the kids loved it! We talked about the different characteristics of snakes and saw pictures of the biggest and smallest snakes,  and talked about how they eat. We also discussed how dangerous snakes are and that we should be VERY cafeful around them.

We made paper chain snakes and bead snakes. We rounded out our day with a video of a snake striking and then eating it's prey! I thought maybe the kids would he scared, but they LOVED it!  Next week we will learn all about turtles.  So fun!

Week 2 - FROGS!

This week we learned about frogs. We started out making a Venn diagram showing the differences between frogs and toads (like, did you know that frogs have teeth in their upper jaws and toads don't?). Then we read a silly book that showed us what frogs eat... and what eats them! Finally, we glued together the life cycle of a frog, from spawn to mature frog and back to laying eggs. Next week... snakes... shudder.
