~Frogs~
We read,Jump, Frog, Jump, to
start off our study of frogs!
We learn about frogs! I read
a non fiction story about frogs, as well as, share a neat
Scholastic News poster about the lifecycle of a frog.

Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs
Yum-yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs.
Glub ! Glub !
(Sing with decreasing numbers.....
Four little speckled frogs .......)
Last line :
One green and speckled frog
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs
Yum-yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are no green speckled frogs.
Glub ! Glub !

I purchased these adorable finger puppets off EBay! I use these
as we sing Five Little Speckled Frogs! The students LOVE using
these
finger counters at the Math Center too!

We estimate frogs at our

We
make frog puppets! Great activity to strengthen hand muscles (fine
motor)!
Students
make patterns using plastic frogs at the Math Center.
We
make the lifecycle of a frog! VERY CUTE! I purchased a package of
blue paper plates at my local dollar tree to use as the water.
We
make Frog Floats! Each child gets a clear cup filled with lime
sherbet. We place two Whoppers in the sherbert for the frog
eyes. Then, I pour Sprite over the sherbert. The students LOVE
eating their Frogs!
We
make a shape take home book titled, Green Frog, Green Frog, What
Shapes Do You See? I came up with this idea using the same
concept as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Students
use plastic jumping frogs and sticks ("logs" of various lengths).
The students line the frogs across the log and count to see how many
fit!
Students
measure classroom items and themselves use plastic jumping frogs!
Students
match the correct number of plastic flies to the corresponding
number frog!
We
have frog races...using our plastic frogs!
We
make a class graph, Do You Like Frogs?
