CROW: Reading in Nature: Fantastic Frogs!
Viewable online March 3, 1:00 p.m. and thereafter.
Did you know that frogs, as well as other amphibians, are coming out already? It may seem too cold, but the Spring Peepers are mating, and the Northern Leopard Frog and American Toad are starting to call for mates. Listen for them in the evening. We will read, “The Wide-Mouthed Frog” and talk about frogs and their calls. Then, do an activity outside. Be sure to do a craft with Bailey on Thursday! (V)
