In our first grade froggie classroom we of course had to get some tadpoles for our class pet! These are not any ordinary tadpoles though, they are going to grow into Poison Dart Frogs! A friend of mine breeds these frogs and this generation no longer secretes the poisonous hormones through its skin. When they transform into frogs, they should be a beautiful bright blue color. Right now one has back legs and is growing front legs. The other still has its long tail. Having these tadpoles are an added "hands on" element that allows students to actually observe the life cycle of a frog while we learn about it in class!
