Pond Friends

Our next unit is packed full of experiences designed to help the children learn more about the animals and plants that call the pond their home. While exploring our, “Pond Friends” unit, the children will build background knowledge about frogs, turtles, mosquitoes and even pond plants like cattails. If you are lucky enough to have a pond in your area, plan a trip to visit with the children if at all possible. Just make sure to take extra adults with you so that children are constantly supervised. If this is not possible, use books and short videos to help the children learn what they might see, hear and even smell when visiting the pond.
