Pond Life in Ladybug class

Through singing, reading, observation of the wild, the games and dance we learned about life in the pond and about it as follows.

Ducks, geese, and swans visit ponds. There are many smaller animals as well. Frogs, toads, and many insects begin their lives in ponds and live nearby after they are grown. Turtles, snakes, rats, salamanders, worms, and spiders, mosquitoes can also be found. Some animals live in the water, some live above the water and others live in the area surrounding the pond.
