A Frog in the Classroom

This week Grade 2 had another four-legged guest in the classroom.  Mrs. Vargas was kind enough to bring in one of Lucas’ pet frogs, aptly named Huge for his large size.  The class observed Huge and learned about the different frog body parts and their corresponding functions.  Did you know that frogs don’t have any ears?  Instead they have a small circular organ behind their eye called Tympanum that acts like an external ear drum.  Grade 2 also had the chance to ask questions and learn facts about the frog.  The class even got to see Huge eat some blood worms for a snack.

Kind regards,

Ms. Christine Aberley
