My Project

I have an amazing group of learners from all walks of life. The kids are all coming to our class with difference background knowledge of pollinators. With some students not having a lot of experience with outdoors, bringing a little nature into the classroom would help our students build connections between pollinators and the role they play in food production and gardening. I've already placed the habitats in the classroom and kids are guessing what is going to be placed in them. I can't wait to see how much the kids grow, watching these pollinators grow!
