 First Molt!

Today our class looked closely and noticed that two of our prating mantises molted! You can see in the picture that the praying mantis is at the top and the skin is at the bottom! We also witnessed a change in colour. When they first emerged from the egg case they were a tan or light brown colour. Now they have changed to a nice green colour. The praying mantises are eating a lot of fruit flies and growing really fast!

 Cole brought in a double decker bus that is a souvenir from Wales! It would be a lot of fun to ride on a bus like the one in the picture! Cole has relatives that live there!

 What a Morning!!!!

Today we sat in a circle and let the chicks run around. We looked closely and made a lot of observations! Our class noticed they move around a lot more and are very jumpy! Cheetah and Caramel chased eachother around and were very brave. They are taller now and have started to grow their feathers on their wings. Jonah shared with us that you can tell a boy from a girl by their feathers. We think Cheetah is a girl and Caramel is a boy. We will wait to see once more of their feathers grow. Our class noticed that their egg tooth has fallen off.

 Our friend Brendan from last year brought in his pet guinea-pig "Cuddles". We thought he looked like our old classroom pet guinea-pig "Oreo". Cuddles is very soft and really liked when Brendan petted him. He made lots of squeaks to say how much he loved it!

Mark and Bethany from Mrs. Robinson's room dropped in to show our class a milkweek plant that his Aunt found. On the plant we were able to see monarch butterfly eggs and a tiny monarch caterpillar!! We wonder how long it will take to make a crysallis?
