Kindergarten Grade Talking Points

• "Frogs start their life as eggs."
• "After the eggs hatch, they become tadpoles."
• "Tadpoles have gills to breathe underwater."
• "As tadpoles grow, they start to develop hind legs."
• "Eventually, tadpoles lose their tails and grow front legs."
• "Finally, tadpoles become adult frogs and can live on land."
