Ok, we are going to “hop to it” and start learning about tadpoles. I’m a frog so why do you think I am so excited about having tadpoles in our class? What is a tadpole anyway?
Before we read and learn about tadpoles I need your help! Mrs. Shickle’s class learned about a K-W-L chart. That is a chart that lists: K- what we know, W- what we want to know, and L- what we learned.
I would like for you to post something you already know about tadpoles. Don’t ask your parents or look it up on the internet or in a book. Just post something you already know about tadpoles,and something you would like to know about tadpoles. We will make the lists at school from your posts. Remember you and I both get a penny if you post!
Love, Polly # 9
Example:
Mrs. Shickle: K: I know that tadpoles like to swim
W: What do tadpoles eat?

Where are my soccer shoes?

Nice sneakers, but I’m still waiting for my soccer shoes with black socks. Oh, did I tell you, I’m still waiting…

What will you do with the frogs when school lets out for the summer. Do you let one of your students bring them home?

Wow! I’m so happy. I love tadpoles.

Dear Mrs. King,
We have a book that show many kind of frogs. They are many different colors. Some are red, blue, yellow,and orange. Some have spots and some have stripes.

Dear Anonymous,
Today we read a book about tadpoles and found out that frog eggs are the size of peas.

Dear g.g.
We have a little pond behind our school and I think my friends would like to live there. That way we can continue to visit. They are like family you know.
Thanks for commenting.
