Ribbit Ribbit


Don't mind my sideways picture. Yesterday we learned about how frogs eat bugs. We made these really adorable paper plate frogs. The kids painted both sides of the paper plate green, I helped them fold it down the middle. We glued on construction paper eyes and I helped them cut a hole for the "tongue." It's just one of those party favor things. I couldn't find plain red though! Ours say "Wildcats" and are from high school musical, lol. After they were finished, we took a walk around the school to blow out our long, sticky tongues and catch bugs.

I can't believe I only have three more weeks with these kids before the school year is over!

Moo cows



We made these lovely cows towards the end of our farm unit. The students learned about the different parts of the cows and where milk comes from. They glued together the cows and then used letter stamps to use the letters of their names to make the spots. It worked really well and was a good activity for learning to spell their names, which we have been working on lately.
