Happy Spring Break to all of you! Hopefully y'all are all out enjoying the beautiful weather and the extra long weekend!
This was an exciting week for us! We had not one, but two experts come work with us. Our first expert visit was from Todd Wetzel and his wife. They are poison dart frog enthusiasts who love to share their passion. They brought so many cool specimens for our kiddos to observe. This truly was a treat since these frogs are not native to our country.
Our second expert was none other than Miss Rebecca's sister. She is a sculptor and came to share her expertise with our kiddos. She helped each student sculpt their expert frog. Once our clay froggies have dried completely, she'll come back and teach us how to paint them to look realistic.
We are now in the refining process for our expedition. Many preparations are need to get ready for our big unveiling at our Celebration of Learning. From here on out, that is what we will be working towards. To pull off our Fabulous Frogs Celebration, students are in need of some donations. If you have any of the following and wouldn't mind sharing with us please send them to school with your child as soon as possible:
- any plastic greenery: shrubs, vines, flowers, cacti, etc
- fake landscape rocks
- chicken wire
- sandpaper
- tempera paints
- large sheets of cardboard
- large shirts for messy painting and other messes (one for each student)
If you have anything around the home that you think would fit any of these habitats: rain forest, desert, or meadow please let me know. We're thinking BIG so any help from home will really help make this happen!
