Frog Life Cycle with K3



For about 8 days I traded classes with Mrs. K, the 3 year old teacher, so that she could teach K5 as part of her early childhood certification. These cute kids were a lot of fun! I taught them the life cycle of a frog, we played some leap frog of our own and even made cute frog life cycle hats. I came up with the idea for the hats by combining two different ideas I found online and they turned out super fun for the kids to wear!

Urban Ecology Center is an awesome organization in Milwaukee that leads environmental education field trips for local schools. Unfortunately our trip to the UEC is not my best memory of teaching K5, due to a lot of embarrassing behavior issues. However, in light of everything, there were still some great moments I was able to capture throughout the field trip. Here are a few of those...
