Unlike the butterfly and ladybug, the praying mantis undergoes incomplete metamorphosis. The process of nymph to adult takes an additional 1-2 months. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_wT3yPi9dpaUi0QAhfS4vFCPHIG4GNv_gDFLZKwOPOAyJN5DNDZVvH0qr3c16l6nUgfCDpZT0M8D3V4m-wNecrOj8bU_OHRny23X4XOq3SM8_lRSXkJd8s-Pw_Ky0OCNcnYqrPrkatZZg6xm6S4Fw7jdrZP_x4KdeVx3UQkNjmRYkt-tHp8m1o7W/s977/698458DC-4AEC-4CAC-884A-0975FF1A4866.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="846" data-original-width="977" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk_wT3yPi9dpaUi0QAhfS4vFCPHIG4GNv_gDFLZKwOPOAyJN5DNDZVvH0qr3c16l6nUgfCDpZT0M8D3V4m-wNecrOj8bU_OHRny23X4XOq3SM8_lRSXkJd8s-Pw_Ky0OCNcnYqrPrkatZZg6xm6S4Fw7jdrZP_x4KdeVx3UQkNjmRYkt-tHp8m1o7W/w640-h554/698458DC-4AEC-4CAC-884A-0975FF1A4866.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFzNhN59VenST-RdPsMUg6mm5Aqw1h1dj6NvXLLyszF70XEXbESsVoc59o35mhUe6V-PBfmEjZ0krqzMyOMPKJN8Q6l0G5U-l9nzMvRNDSHfKuKu9rmROFxhFPSvq08yJZvnRwTBoKaB4Z6sF40Qwcp9frjAkxg1GQzHta2wcQ7mPGrkAiGOIxqGt/s1401/AA38BBEB-6128-4263-8BA9-B11C793A284C.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1401" data-original-width="1170" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgFzNhN59VenST-RdPsMUg6mm5Aqw1h1dj6NvXLLyszF70XEXbESsVoc59o35mhUe6V-PBfmEjZ0krqzMyOMPKJN8Q6l0G5U-l9nzMvRNDSHfKuKu9rmROFxhFPSvq08yJZvnRwTBoKaB4Z6sF40Qwcp9frjAkxg1GQzHta2wcQ7mPGrkAiGOIxqGt/w534-h640/AA38BBEB-6128-4263-8BA9-B11C793A284C.jpeg" width="534" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1rl4PabSL3PgbJDKsag98J-7te4fr2w-ZsLwtso7kzYL_EhLrwm-Lvx3OkVha-jCWAEZ4IslkQdghr9EvkE9AWINtQuMIDsojN7quAwJUZzRm--_TPMF9RvaWneB5h19-8kA7PG6lnviQ0p8cCe_fr-xvvBiM_Re8sSQKsHRKGM9okcmqpG_TXwOS/s1170/083EBB7E-D4CB-4964-9238-0D265AFB9208.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="759" data-original-width="1170" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1rl4PabSL3PgbJDKsag98J-7te4fr2w-ZsLwtso7kzYL_EhLrwm-Lvx3OkVha-jCWAEZ4IslkQdghr9EvkE9AWINtQuMIDsojN7quAwJUZzRm--_TPMF9RvaWneB5h19-8kA7PG6lnviQ0p8cCe_fr-xvvBiM_Re8sSQKsHRKGM9okcmqpG_TXwOS/w640-h416/083EBB7E-D4CB-4964-9238-0D265AFB9208.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">This spring science unit is always a class favorite. In addition, these lifecycle lessons can be correlated to the development that occurs throughout Early Childhood Education. Similar to the insects described above, each child learns and grows at their own, often unpredictable pace. Some can achieve certain stages or milestones in accordance with mainstream expectations while others may need additional time and assistance to flourish. Not all caterpillars spin into a chrysalis at the same rate or in the same way. However, if placed in a safe and nurturing environment, they will all emerge as beautiful butterflies. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNWS-LP4sVyPjjcQJ-0LlSlmstkqFZk-xyydgpTTcfG9DlTpjC9-LkO8Hc6wrAkJ9_GaRDRcoTPcMmj2HhwH_euhVw-doYCwdpLGfxFnQp2aKpG4Jf8FpcQeq2tllZe1ZG3GJL5VC94hyuO8IdnJ-_UVBzI4TqrSgqbQIU42bdsHpbqyphl5X1KMy/s1446/4F320C45-C767-4BFE-9D18-0B46C3B62D66.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1446" data-original-width="1154" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZNWS-LP4sVyPjjcQJ-0LlSlmstkqFZk-xyydgpTTcfG9DlTpjC9-LkO8Hc6wrAkJ9_GaRDRcoTPcMmj2HhwH_euhVw-doYCwdpLGfxFnQp2aKpG4Jf8FpcQeq2tllZe1ZG3GJL5VC94hyuO8IdnJ-_UVBzI4TqrSgqbQIU42bdsHpbqyphl5X1KMy/w510-h640/4F320C45-C767-4BFE-9D18-0B46C3B62D66.jpeg" width="510" /></a></div><br /><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #674ea7; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"> 🦋S</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">M</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">A</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #ff0090; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">R</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #ffa400; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">T </span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">S</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #674ea7; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">T</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #ffa400; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">A</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="caret-color: rgb(61, 133, 198); color: #3d85c6; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">R</span><span face="-webkit-standard" style="color: #ff0099; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">T🦋</span></span></div></span><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>SMART START Young Learnershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04950561907059736662noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810091502992875820.post-79463133752884320992023-05-19T22:03:00.000-04:002023-05-19T22:03:35.344-04:002023 Talent Show <p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span>SMART START Students showcased their unique abilities at the annual "Talent Show."
