A New Friend

This morning when we came to school, we discovered a new student in our class:

We didn't know where he or she came from, but he or she was sitting on one of our tables. We wanted to make sure that our new friend was safe. Soon, our visitor jumped onto the floor and started walking. But he or she was walking away from the door.

Mr Davidson got a paper and Rags (as we have now named him or her) walked on to it.

Next, Mr Davidson brought Rags outside and left him or her by the tree.

When we got back to class, we wanted to find out what Rags was. So we used our computer skills to look for pictures to see what matched. We found out that Rags is a cicada. It's a good thing we put him or her back by a tree!
