Growing toads

Students in Beth Erbelding's fourth grade class at Chestnut Ridge Elementary School investigated the life cycle of the toad using an Eggs to Toad science kit. The student scientists were given the assignment of observing the life cycle and documenting the transformation from egg to toad over a nine-week time frame. The toads were released into their natural habitat. Pictured caring for their tadpoles (l-r) are: Andrew Messinger, Foster Lynch, Nick Gutberlet, Kyle Clar, Nicky Vaccaro, Brittni Wise and Kyri Miller.
