Today, I handed back the chapter 2 and 3 test and answered questions over the test. We then moved on to talk about bees and pollination. We focused mostly on HOW bees pollinate, from deciding which flower to collect nectar from to taking the nectar back to the hive to make honey. Students then were given their homework assignment where they are to make a comic strip showing the 6 different steps bees take to gather nectar (and pollinate flowers). We then took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL February day and went on a nature walk around the school. Students were able to see covered seeds (acorn and walnuts) and uncovered seeds (pine cones), compare leaves and count petals to decide if a plant was a monocot or dicot, and take a look at where to find moss! Students had a great time seeing the things we've been reading about!
Homework: Finish the bee pollination comic strip. If it was lost or if your student was absent, a link will be posted below for you to use to make another copy. ALSO, please read pages 56-59 and do the corresponding lapbook pages. Bee Pollination Comic Strip Activity
