Thursday was our last work day of second grade and to our surprise and delight, Dad brought home a bucketful of tadpoles Wednesday evening! I decided, as any true homeschooler would, of course, to use this as a stepping stone for a day spent learning about frogs. We finished our math book for the year and Dakota got his reading done on his chapter book and then we set up the aquarium for the tadpoles. We learned about what they need to survive and why. We read books, did cloze activities, looked at an anatomy model, did a lifecycle puzzle, made a craft tadpole with a template and brads and watched two magic school bus videos, one about swamps and one about cold blooded animals. By days end, we were frog aficionados! Friday saw us at our county review early in the morning. It went smoothly, as always, but Natalie was a beast and I was feeling stressed by the time we left. We dropped our frog learning things off to a friend who was also gifted tadpole...
