Busy bees needed for county preschool programs
Published 8:00 pm Tuesday, April 18, 2017
- Mrs. Upton’s preschool class at Sunny View Elementary were “busy bees” in the classroom as they learned about bees and how they pollinate and make honey. Each student made a patterned bee headband and buzzed around the room pretending to be busy bees at work pollinating flowers and drinking nectar. The students had a lot of fun learning about what makes bees so important to us and why we rely on them to help grow plants.
