Aidan located a praying mantis outside of the cafeteria this past week. First, he scooped the mantis into a cardboard box. Then, Aidan carried the box upstairs to our classroom. Mr. V. let us borrow a clear, cylindrical container to observe the little carnivore. Aidan named the creature

"King Kong." After Bicycle Education we released King Kong so she could find a snack! Students, what did you observe when your group was watching King Kong? List your observation in the comments
