Frog in my throat

Katie got involved in a new program at school. It's called Information Investigators. It's run by accelerated learning teacher and offers an opportunity for some kindergartners to take home kits on all kinds of topics. They are bags filled with books, videos, projects, worksheets and more on a variety of topics like China, Sign Language, Art, Music, The Ocean, Spanish, Cooking, Architecture and more.

So about every 3-4 weeks Katie will get to bring home an Investigator Bag. We'll keep it for a week and check out all the fun things inside. Tuesday she brought home her first one...Frogs! We have videos, books, puzzles, worksheets and more. It offers a chance to really study a specific topic, and gives Katie a sense of "homework". Will likes the fact that they included a Kermit the Frog video.

So if any of you had any burning frog questions that you never seemed to get answered...ask now because we are all experts on the subject.

I was wondering what slugs do in the winter since I found so many along the road under pieces of cardboard. Didn't seem like a really good winter home, but what do I know?

The books never mentioned slugs, but tadpoles and frogs burrow down into the mud and dirt for the winter. Maybe those slugs you found just weren't the brightest lightbulbs in class. :)
