One little frog goes hop
Along came another and they just can't stop
so....
Two little frogs goes hop hop

(continued until all the children were frogs hopping)
Aaron: First comes the egg then the tadpole and then the big frog.
Levi: I've seen a frog jump around in my back yard.
Morah Katie: How is it that a tadpole can breathe under water?
Ben: It has gills like a fish.
Morah Katie: Then how can it breathe on land as a frog?
Dena: It grows lungs and legs.
Morah Katie: So can any animal breathe both in the water and in air? 
Levi: No only frogs.
Ben: It has to be an amphibian.
Noah: Frogs can be any color. Mine is a rainbow frog but first it was an egg and then tadpole and a frog ribbit ribbit.

Morah Katie: Would you find a salamander in a hot dry desert?
Ben: NO!
Tori: You would definitely probably find a salamander at a creek if you were lucky enough to go to a creek.
Levi: Yeah they need water.
Morah Katie: Why?
Tori: Because they have slimy skin and need to stay wet. 



I saw a little creature that was slimy, smooth and wet.
I thought it was the oddest thing that I had ever met.
It was something like a lizard but it had no scales at all.
It was something like a frog but it didn't hop, it crawled. 
so i took it to my teacher and she told me right away, 
" I see you brought  a salamander into class today."

In other areas of the classroom

the animals from our classroom arc were treated to a story;
the children practiced some yoga, 
flew space shuttles,
 
discovered a trick to multiplying,
 and enjoyed the simple joys of thoughtful work.
