On Monday morning, Max and his Mom delivered a tub of tadpoles. Before Morning Meeting they showed our friends how to use the aerator, feed the tadpoles algae wafers and showed us other guests such as water bugs. We even had a tadpole who had started to grow his legs and therefore he is a metamorph. Friends have been enthralled with observing the tadpoles as they swim into the air bubbles and grow bigger which seems like each hour. We have been sharing the responsibility of making sure they are fed and recording our noticings, wonderings and estimates in our science journal. Ms. Brooke has been working very hard to make sure they have safe water each morning and working even harder to research ways to keep the tadpoles alive. The big question now? What to do when their metamorphosis has completed into ... frog?
This experience has been so valuable as we develop lists of inquiry and form our community of learners. Thank-you!
