Last week we became quite interested and attached to our visiting toads. We really wanted them to stay in our room. So, we wrote a proposal to Mrs. Anderson, Jason’s mom, defining our responsibilities, should she accept our proposal.  After over an hour of brainstorming, drafting, and editing, we finally had our proposal ready.  Mrs. Anderson came back to school and we presented Our Toad Proposal to her.

Good news!  She accepted our proposal so we had to get busy preparing the habitats.  Yesterday we spent all morning gathering the sand, dirt, rocks, sticks, leaves, and food (roly-polys) for our new classroom visitors.  We had job assignments and we have our “misters” for each day.  We must remember not to mist too much…otherwise we will make mud!

The 4 habitats are on the tables of each group in the room.  The kids are very excited and interested.  I hope the toads are happy too! 🙂
