We Jumped Into Pond Week!

We had a lot of discussion about creatures that live in the pond this week!  We particularly talked about frogs and turtles.  We especially focused on the life cycle of a frog because of its very amazing metamorphisis!  We also took time out to begin a few surprises for Mother's Day next week!
