5 minutes- This will be spent building background knowledge and discussing what learners already know about all types of frogs. 20-25 minutes- I will read parts of the stories "Frogs!" and "Tale of a Tadpole". I will share facts from the books and share pictures that I have taken of frogs as well. I will stop frequently to discuss what we've read, point out details from pictures, explain why and how pictures are labeled certain ways, discuss key vocabulary and allow time for learners to share their own thoughts about what we've read. I will also interject my own knowledge about frogs. - Throughout the lesson, students will have the opportunity to draw and/or write what they are learning about. 5-10 minutes- I will wrap up the lesson by asking and answering questions about was learned about all types of frogs. Learners will also have to opportunity to share their drawings/writing. * Follow up activities will be shared with all learners at the end of the class to help enhance their learning and understanding of frogs. *This class will be taught regardless of the number of learners that have signed up. Time may be adjusted for classes with a smaller number of students.

I am offering this class because I love animals and nature! Every year I would purchase tadpoles for my classroom. My students would help care for and observe the process of a tadpole becoming a frog. I have learned a lot over the years :)!Reviews
