Our friends baby, who we have had since spring, was born!!!!!!!
The children’s excitement is at its peak☆☆☆
Whispers and murmurs filled the air…
Curious about the unusual voices, I went to the “Ha” (Leaf) class, wondering, “What’s going on?”
As soon as I arrived, about five children rushed over shouting, “Teacherrrrrr!!” and pulled me along.
“Look, look!” “Hurry!” “It’s here!” “It’s born!!” — voices came from all directions.
When I looked, there was a magnificent beetle.
Four larvae that had been cared for by turning the soil and adding fresh soil had successfully grown into adult beetles.
There were three male rhinoceros beetles and one female.
They’re very lively and strong—so strong that if they grab onto your hand with their legs, it can even draw blood!
One night, three of them escaped!
We quickly found one, and another was hiding inside a student’s shoe. But the last one was missing! The classroom door had been left open, so we searched the hallway thoroughly (Detective Conan was on the case!). We looked everywhere but couldn’t find it…
Surprisingly, it was buried in the soil! (What a surprise!)
These beetles bring joy to the children every day ♡
(Though, they might be a bit annoyed since they are nocturnal…)
