Praying Mantis Reports
A few weeks before we began our "extra stay at home" days, we got a praying mantis egg case for our classroom. We are expecting at least 75 praying mantises to come egg of the egg case. Below are some updates on how they are doing.

Teacher Jackie let most of the praying mantises go yesterday. (If you keep a bunch of baby mantises all together, they eventually start to harm each other.) She let all of them go except for two or three, and will continue to show us pictures of how those she kept keep growing!
