Newsletter September is full of anticipation and excitement at the beginning of a new school year, and I hope the transition back has been smooth. We're back too and diligently working to bring you outstanding programming that will enhance your curricula and stimulate learning with classroom animals. This year we look forward to offering you more classroom activities along with articles on suggestions for classroom additions, health and maintenance. In this issue, we discuss the introduction of frogs into the classroom and offer a very interesting project involving tadpoles and the affects of living conditions on their development. There is a wonderfully curious quality about underwater worlds.
Aquatic life exhibits amazing structures and behaviors.
One particularly amazing creature is the tadpole. Its adaptation to both water and land environments and its metamorphosis are fascinating. In this issue we provide you with a simple project with tadpoles, along with information about raising tadpoles as well as maintaining the frogs. Tadpoles can be obtained from any biological supply company. In the spring, if you have a stream or pond nearby you can catch them with a fine fish net.
