Day 167-A Really Cool GIft

Day 167, originally uploaded by rhmom42.

I received the coolest gift from one of my students today. She and her family are the neatest people. They truly love nature and have taught us so much. It’s not unusual for them to bring in turtles, tadpoles, frogs and the like to show the class. Today, they gave each teacher in the room a basket with a shovel, a beautiful tomato plant that they grew from seed and a PRAYING MANTIS! It was such a wonderful gift, especially since they hatched the praying mantis from an egg and caught three babies so we each could have one. Thank you to the Sanders family. I will miss you next year!
