Today was our class picnic.  One of my little boys is in love with frogs and toads, and wouldn't you know it, he found one today.  Shortly after lunch he brought me Popup Linkthis toad cradled in his hands.  I asked him what he thought we should do with Popup Linkhis toad.  He wanted to take him home, but I said that  Popup Linkhe wouldn't be happy there.  I finally convinced him to put Popup LinkJack the toad by a tree so he could be happy.  All afternoon all the children kept checking on Jack, and Popup Linkthis little toad stuck around, so they were sure he wanted to go with them.  I finally told them that I would give them each a picture of Jack, if we left him in the woods were he would be happiest.  So thus, you have the saga of Jack the toad and Lidljo's class.

  • Excellent photos of the toad Jo, and a great lesson for the kids. Leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but pictures.

  • You must be a very good teacher.....like your story and in His Toad it is as though the child is letting you see that the frog is contended being in his hand. Me, I would not touch them with a ten foot pole.
