As Spring blooms fully at Springwater, we celebrate pollinators at work! The students are noticing the diversity of pollinators that flit from flower to flower in our garden. During garden class, K-2nd graders study the value of pollinators in providing the fruits and vegetables they enjoy eating, as well as learn how to provide habitat for the variety of insects and birds. The 7th grade students are beginning a new study of the mason bees in the school's Pollinator Garden and have taken the lead in valuing, observing, and recording the bee species at work. The students find joy in emerging mason bees and are sensitive to the weather changes that affect the pollinator's work. We have even see student-built mason bee and leaf cutter bee boxes popping up throughout the school grounds. Pollinators really are loved at Springwater! |
