E.C.O. Field Trip to the Frog Pond

On Tuesday, April 25th, we took a walking field trip to the Liebermann's frog pond.  We were given a mission to move the frog eggs further into the pond, since they were too close to the edge and may not survive if some of the water evaporated.  I just heard today that the tadpoles successfully emerged from their eggs.  We also had the opportunity to visit the goats, including one pregnant goat who gave birth later that night.  Students did a great job making observations about the frog eggs, as well as the salamanders and stonefly larvae we found.  Thank you to Tracy, Jill, Sian, Angie, and Eve for helping out with this field trip!  Also a big thank you to the Liebermann family for allowing us to continue this wonderful tradition of visiting their pond!

Our next E.C.O. lesson is scheduled for Tuesday, May 9th.  Please help your child come prepared to spend the morning outdoors.
