One afternoon, as the kids were being
released from their classes to go
home, La’Trell came across an
interesting sight! A large brown
praying mantis sitting on a post in the
breezeway as if he was waiting on his
son or daughter. Mr. Mantis, who the
kids gathering around him called
“Jake”, was calm as a cucumber,
watching us with his large eyes as we
tried to resist the urge to touch him.
Jaleia, one of the students that spent
a lot of time with “Jake”, said about
the experience “I have only seen one
in the movie Kung Fu Panda. It is
really cool to see one in action, doing
its everyday routine.” All of the
students thought that he mantis was
cool, although weird.
Mr. Ted took a liking to “Jake” as
well. Interested to see what it would
do, Mr. Ted dangled his keys in front
of the insect. We all gasped when the
mantis climbed aboard.
I believe he might have
ridden home with Mr.
Ted if given the chance.
Oh, the things that
happen at Renzi!

1 egg
1/8 cup milk
2 teaspoons sugar
Dash cinnamon
2 slices bread or 1 hamburger bun
Directions:
Beat egg in microwavable bowl. Add milk, sugar, and
cinnamon. Beat to blend. Tear up bread into small pieces
and fold them into the egg mixture until they are wet and
soggy.
Microwave 1 minute. Check. If pudding is set, it is done. If
it is not set, microwave another minute.
The recipe is good for breakfast, snack, or dessert. To
change the flavor, substitute syrup or molasses instead of
sugar. Or use different spice, such as ginger or nutmeg.
You can serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Mrs. Jnanne’s Monday
Microwave Cooking class is
always a Renzi favorite.
This session, she knocked it
out of the park by teaching
the kids how to make
microwave bread pudding.
The students enjoyed this
snack so much that the
Renzi Reader just HAD to
share the recipe.
Student Poll: Tatianna, Mackenzie M, Alex, Maddie
The newsletter class counted enough mini M&M’s to
fill half of a tall glass jar. Tuesday students were
asked to guess how many M&M’s they thought were
in the jar.
The prize: half of the jar of M&M’s will be given to
the student closest to the actual number—(a winner
from the younger classes and a winner from the
older classes.)
The number of M&Ms in the jar - 2,900
Winners: Abby Weeks (2,999) Lisa T. (2,000)
Jack and Beaux visited Renzi
during Pep! Class to teach the
children about animal shelters
and therapy dogs. The kids had
to come up with the many
scenarios of why a dog would
end up in a shelter and how to
care for them after adoption.

The numbers are
in—the majority of
Renzi students DO
like this Halloween
staple. While
visiting each
class, Mr. Jay
was very eager
to give us a
history lesson
on this sweet treat,
as well as a detailed
sketch. Turns out,
Mr. Jay makes his
own candy corn!

Flowers Are Like People
(Mr. Maurice’s Poetry Slam class) Lisa V., Ithzel, Mackenzie J.
Flowers are unique in a very special way
they need food and water every single day.
Like a flower people need food and water too
some flowers are red and some are blue
Surely as flowers are different colors so are we
flowers have feelings also wait just listen to me
We call it feeling blue when we’re down
and when flowers are sad they turn brown
When the sun comes up they feel happy
Why are vampires so easy to fool?
