Bee-ing Awesome!

My ELD class continues to amazzzzzzze! We have been delving into all things Bee and have learned so much about these amazing creatures. I shared that I had a bee hive in my tree but was sad one day to see the hive just moved on - hopefully to greener pastures.  We learned how important bees are to humans and spent some time focusing on their features and attributes. My students decided to create their own books about bees and today we worked on how to draw bees accurately.  Their illustrations are bee-utiful! Ok. Enough. On to the awesomeness...

Comparing and Contrasting Insects

We are still recording our mealworm observations, but we are learning about other insects, too. This week we used different methods to compare and contrast 2 insects. 

I love when students choose to organize their thinking with a Thinking Map!
