4B Nature Walk and Tadpole Rescue

Ms. Turner's fourth grade class have been exploring the world around them in various ways. They took a nature walk with community member Jan Siegelman through Kittredge park to learn how to identify different types of trees and plants by their leaves and bark. They also visited Mr. Siegleman's garden and spent time with his chicks, chickens and goldfish. The boys also decided to rescue some tadpoles from TDSA's fields and collected over 40. This prompted research into tadpole habitats, frog life cycles and metamorphosis in order to better figure out how best to care for their new pets. The class keeps watching the tank eagerly to see if the tadpoles are developing legs and a student plans to take the tank home to care for the tadpoles over the summer!
