Tadpoles and Inspiring Individuals List — The Early Learning Community First-Second Grade

Today we started the morning by painting our spelling words. During center time students continued working on engineering structures and developing menus for their shops and food stands. During our life science explorations we examined our Pacific tree frog tadpoles and started working on our scientific sketches. We also started watching a documentary about Western toad migration. Outside we found what seems to be an inchworm. We also found a bird nest, a tiny slug, ladybugs, and new tubes filled with mud in our mason bee house. We continued working on our research notes about our inspiring individuals during writer’s workshop. Today we focused on finding where and when these individuals were born, their character traits, and their jobs (or the reason they are famous).

Here are the inspiring individuals we picked:

Gus- Gandi

Sawyer- Harriet Tubman

Nora- Gabby Douglas

Margaux- Mary Anning

Ryker- Walt Disney

Morgan- Jane Goodall
