Frogs & Toads @ the Children's Museum

This week we taught the kids the differences between frogs and toads. We had pictures of frogs that they could color. We also had pictures of toads that they colored and then put dots of glue and sprinkled bird seed on - this was to mimmick the bumps on toads. We also brought books about frogs and toads that we read to them. They had cute stories to tell us. One little girl told us about how her brother stuck a frog down her shirt when she was four. Every week these kids are capable of putting such a big smile on my face. I'll be honest, in the beginning I just wanted to get this project over with and be done with it. The criteria for the project wasn't very specific at first and I was under the opinion that we would do one day of service and be done. I'm glad though, that we were asked to go multiple times because I feel that I got more out of it. I think it's important for people to get out and help other people. Volunteering is important in our community, but I think that service LEARNING is even more important because like we were tought in class the one thing that really sticks with you consistantly through life is your brain. I've been surprised how my attitude towards volunteering has changed over the past few weeks. I'm actually going to miss working with the kids. It's definitly been a fun time.
