Reared at my back steps
Had quite a number of Cats, but only one stayed. The others got gone.
Took photos and put in a powerpoint of the process and presented to

Great!
I am sure your students were fascinated with the presentation. I did a similar display on my website only with the slideshow feature. Had many comments from teachers and parents.
