Tadpoles


A teacher at Lily's school has a fish tank full of tadpoles in her classroom. Well Lily got wind of it and has a newfound obsession with tadpoles.

Today we learned all about the word Metamorphosis. Right now they look like this:


We'll keep you posted on their development and all the amazing new things we learn on this new adventure!
