In studying about spring, the Bumblebees got excited about worms. They listened to books about worms in library. They watched science videos about worms' bodies and how important they are to the soil. Then they did some worm art. Friends made worms that could move using an accordion fold. Some friends even painted the way worms might, only these friends used yarn, not worms!

 

Last week the Bumblebees were all home doing distance learning as a safety precaution after a week of spring break. In math they were working on measuring using measuring cups and spoons. This led them to try out an actual recipe. I bet they were delicious and mathematical at the same time. They also looked for signs of spring around their homes. They were able to find many!  

 

The Bumblebees have been learning about the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. These are two pictures of the coral reefs they have been creating. The above picture is an example of an at home student's reef and the below is the coral reef created by the in class students. Bumblebees have looked at what coral really is, the animals who live in and around the coral, the dangers of bleaching and how science is working to save and restore the coral reefs as well as clean the oceans of plastics.
