Mount Parnassus Academy Hops into 3rd grade

Apparently a new grade level requires new decor and a new classroom theme. So, Alli has decided that this year, our theme will be frogs :). I'm sure that's not at ALL influenced by having two aquaria set ups in the living room, one with several tadpoles in various stages of metamorphosis, and one with a half aquatic set up with a very small frog who only recently got legs:).

Anyway, we spent part of today visiting Dollar tree, Learning House, and playing online, and here's the results so far. I'm sure by August she'll have the room completely frogified. Unless she decides something else is needed by then :).
