Fr, frog

We did F & R worksheets.
He learned how to write his name all by himself!!
Here are the frog books we checked out:
  • Tadpoles and frogs by Anna Milbourne (Information about frogs-not too many words on a page. Some pictures are photographs, some are drawings.)
  • Jumpy, Green, and Croaky: What am I? by Moira Butterfield (Guess the animal according to the clues.)
  • Jump, Frog, Jump by Robert Kalan (I think the drawings look like they were done by a kid, and I don't think the story is accurate (do turtles eat snakes?) but my little guy loved this story and saying "jump, frog, jump" over and over again.)
  • From Tadpole to Frog by Anita Ganeri (Follows the life cycle of a frog (and gives a timeline). Briefly mentions that frogs mate and then the female frog lays eggs (no further questions were asked, I just read what the book said.))
  • Frog and Toad are Friends by Arnold Lobel (Sort of a chapter book or book of short stories of these characters.)
  • Too Many Frogs! by Sandy Asher (My little guy loved loved loved this book. Shares a message of politeness. Check out the facial expressions.)
  • A Frog in the Bog by Karma Wilson (Pros: rhymes and has nice watercolor pictures. Cons: Weird story. Why would a frog eat 5 slugs? and then they all crawl out? weird.)
