Life as a: Gastropod, or Amphibian, or Coelacanth

As summer approaches and the weather finally lets us emerge from our dwellings, kindergarten has embarked on our final science unit. As seen during the arts fair, we have completed our marine education with some rather impressive underwater scenes. After a half an hour in the green space we successfully introduced the current guests into our classroom, if any of you like to touch the "foot-stomachs" or mollusks, now abiding in our terrarium, please come by around 1pm each day so I don't have to! Soon we will have worms and pill bugs in our room as well!
We have also had the chance to watch the life cycle of tadpoles unfold. Near the bottom of this photograph you can clearly see the eggsac. The tadpole are now over a half inch in length.
