This week our theme was "Bugs and Frogs". We learned about the life cycle of frogs and saw there are many different kinds of frogs in the world. We also talked about bugs having 6 legs, antennas, 3 body parts, and that they can be all shapes and sizes. We lucked out with the rain this week and were able to take our field trip to the school forest! Thankfully it was dry and not many mosquitoes. ☺ While we were there we saw tadpoles, fish, spider webs, dragon flies, butterflies, and all sorts of flowers.
Next week our theme is "Caterpillars and Butterflies".
