Frogs, Puppets, & Performance in Kindergarten


Kindergarten students spent several weeks exploring frogs in library. We read some nonfiction books about frogs including Nic Bishop's Frogs and Elizabeth Carney's National Geographic Kids Frogs! We watched some frog video clips on BrainPop Jr. , viewed a PBS video on metamorphosis, and saw a really cool Glass Frog video. We read classic fiction stories from Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad are Friends as well as Frog and Toad All Year. To tie it all together, we collected frog facts in a frog poster that students illustrated. As a final fun project, students created a frog puppet in art and performed a show reciting their frog facts and singing the song, "Five Little Speckled Frogs."

See below for a puppet show video.  View all puppet shows here.
