My daughter found these eggs in the mountains last weekend. She was entranced by them and frankly, so was I! I split them with her and half made the journey to school. When sharing them with my classes, I received lots of requests to keep them and watch them grow into frogs. Hence, I have obtained an aquarium, (thank you Mrs. McConnell!) and am currently preparing it for the frogs. Two students from my 5th grade class offered to clean the aquarium and add the water. Stay tuned for more pictures as the eggs begin to change!
At our house, we had the Gainesville Winter Olympics. My kids and our neighbor came up with the idea to build a luge in our very own backyard! They took two runs each and I had to time them. After videoing this event, they arranged for an awards ceremony. What did you do at your house during our snow week? I can't wait to read your responses!!! One of the options on the "big kid's" choice menu was to create a comic strip to relay a safety rule that we have reviewed in class. We watched a video of a cartoon artist who explained a "rough" (a rough draft of a cartoon). Don't be surprised if your student wants to read the Sunday comics from now on! :)
