Ms. Bee, as the kids chose to call her, will visit with us every Wednesday. We will meet her in the outdoor classroom for the next 5 weeks to study bees.
We are so excited for this hands on expert to continue to help us become bee experts!
This week, we learned about pollination and how it helps our garden thrive. We also learned that bees are the most efficient of the pollinators. Students each got their own bee to put in glitter filled flowers to understand how bees pollinate.
Students closely observed different kinds of flowers to learn about the parts of the flower. Students identified where nectar and pollen are found in a flower.
We have already been building our schema of native bees through close reading, so students enjoyed seeing real live Mason Bees up close.
