Thank you to D. for bringing in tadpoles for the upstairs class.
Thank you to sisters R. and E. for bringing in tadpoles for the downstairs class.
R. wrote a story about the tadpoles she brought to school. (You can click on the images to make them larger.)
The tadpoles were a huge source of conversation and many stories were written about them.

| The Finished Story |
Do you know why the children were so fascinated by the tadpoles? S.'s story offers an explanation.

| When one of the tadpoles die, another one eats it. |
Yes, we did see many tadpoles eating one another. Truly fascinating. Unfortunately, the school year ended before we were able to see the tadpoles change into froglets. The very long winter delayed their life cycle. We released the tadpoles into nearby ponds. We truly enjoyed having the tadpoles in our classrooms.
