I also read the book The Secret Pool and we learned more about vernal pools and the creatures that call vernal pools home. One thing we found very interesting was that frogs become "frogsicles" in the winter. A frog's body freezes on the outside but a special sugary substance they produce called glycol prevents their bodies from completely freezing even though their hearts stop beating and lungs stop breathing until warmer temperatures arrive.

It is an introduction to programming that allows students to create their own interactive stories. Here is some more information (best part it is FREE :)
