We like to go outside for many nature walks. We are so lucky that our school has a wooded, natural area for us to explore. On our walk, we were looking among the milkweed plants for a monarch caterpillar, but weren't so lucky, but some of the students with their sharp, keen eyes managed to find a praying mantis. We brought him into the classroom, where he joins the minnows, frogs, large garden spider and the monarch caterpillar that we already have. The students have been so excited to have these creatures in our room. We have also been collecting the food necessary to keep them alive. So much learning occurs as a result of studying these creatures in their natural habitat.
