We will spend this week learning about the under story level of the rain forest. That is where most of the insects and bugs live! It is also one of the many places frogs are found. Frogs are something that fascinate any preschool child, so they will be our focus.
We read this fun book, The Frog with the Big Mouth. It is great!
It is very similar to the
Wide Mouth Frog, which is a favorite of both of our classes. It is about a very conceited frog who likes to brag to animals about how big his mouth is to other animals, in this case, rain forest animals. In the end, he comes to a jaguar, who likes to eat big mouth frogs, and tries to eat the little frog, who barely escapes. It is a fun story that gives facts about all of the animals, as the frog talks to each one.
We also made these adorable frogs!
Your children are definitely ready for kindergarten! Most of them could complete this craft without any help from us. They know how to cut, glue, and follow directions. Crafts seems like they are simply fun for preschoolers, but the small motor skills and attention required to successfully complete a craft will be very important next year when students are learning how to correctly write each letter.
