On Wednesdays during distance learning the Bumblebees have been working on their passions projects. These projects have been completely of their own choosing. They study the subject for as long as they want and then I only ask that they make a presentation of their study to me and the class when they feel finished with their passion project. Above is a picture of the way one friend decided to present his passion project about pandas. He brought this magazine to a Zoom and explained all about it to us. It was fantastic. We have also had a video made about bunnies with a focus on their digestive system and the function of their hearing, a presentation about rocks and minerals which included rock painting and a presentation that included boards full of information about many birds. These have been amazingly well put together and elaborate. Great job, Bumblebees! I am so impressed with your work.

The Bumblebees are studying Celebrations of Light around the world. They made such an amazing and unique set of Krathongs following our study of Loy Krathong in Thailand. It is a celebration where people put floating flower boats (Krathong) with candles on them in the river and as they float away the people send all the negative from the past year away with the boats. The kindergarten students made such lovely flower boats I had to preserve them here for all to enjoy.

 

Bumblebees, and all of Seabury, spent November remembering all we have to be grateful for. Here are the hand turkeys that some of the Bumblebees made. We are all grateful this year for family and friends, for school and learning. Here are a few other more unique things Bumblebees are grateful for this year:

Cheetahs, mystical creatures, pictures, hammocks, portals, elephants, vegetables, our adopted calf, a mermaid robe, pandas, Minecraft, National Geographic, rainbows and our hearts. I am thankful, as always, for the joy these students bring me every day.
