RIP Praying Mantis

The praying mantis died this week.  Some students did close up observations and drew it in their science notebooks.  In computer class, after reading an article about deadliest predators with the praying mantis being part of the article, we had many questions about other predators so we researched animals and shared our learning.  In reading we started the new Journeys reading book that was purchased last year for the district.  Students love the new book with the colorful pictures and high interest stories.  In math we began multiplication.  Students should study their math facts daily.
