Toad or Frog?

On Tuesday Norah found this little creature on our playground.  We brought him into the classroom and decided to study him for a little while.  The children wondered if it was a frog or a toad.  We did some research on the Smartboard and found out some of the differences between the two. 

 Then we did a survey and the children voted on which they thought our animal was.

Each child had a chance to place their name card onto the side they thought was right.

Then we counted and discovered more children thought our animal was a toad than a frog. 
                                                                            

 

The following day we set out more items to continue our research the differences and similarities between frogs and toads. 

 

Then we sang the song "Five Green and Speckled Frogs" and the children lead by Matteo acted out the song on our climbing log outside.
