Our "Hoppy" Friend

Today, we had a toad in the classroom.  The students were able to see first hand what attributes this creature has that make it different from a frog.  They were pretty excited to see, touch and hold him.  Some went collecting for bugs as food for the toad, others were keen to make a habitat for him while others were making observations and drawings of the toad.  It is great to see how a live animal can inspire such creativity and engaged learning.
