Examining live tadpoles

Cordele — Second grade students at J. S. Pate Elementary have been studying the life cycle of a frog. They have been reading books and engaging in various interactive websites, so the students were really excited when they were given the opportunity to see these stages live! Thanks to Evans Outdoors, they were able to examine live tadpoles in different stages of development. It was an exciting, hands-on learning experience.
