And we made... ghost suckers, Q tip skeletons, Candy Corn pictures, Masks, Pumpkins and so much more. It was a blast!
They're heeeeeeere! The tadpoles arrived last week, and our class is absolutely enjoying them. Over the next 3 to 4 weeks we'll get to see the tadpoles morph into swimmer frogs! We have yet to name our three new class pets.
