They have much to teach us, they fascinate us, they are beautiful, and their importance to humans is beyond words. Honey bees, especially, are associated with the production of 1/3 of the worlds' food for humans (through pollination, but also honey), healing, and perhaps more than any other creature- if not the only creature, held up as setting a selfless example to humans on successful communities.
So, as the culminating activity to our narrative writing unit, students wrote a story of a honey bee.
Success Criteria
1. Story has a beginning, middle, and end.
2. Story has at least one character and setting explained in detail.
3. Story has a problem and a solution.
4. Writing conventions are respected (e.g., capitals, periods, spacing, spelling).
The students are enthusiastic and eager to present their stories to parents/guardians.
Je suis très fière de vous!

Lovely girls in my classroom have been picking flowers for me and wanted to share.
Through our honey bee stories, we have learned that if we are able to work collaboratively, then we can share some of the success of the honey bee. Only that the result of honey tastes much sweeter.
Note: Unfortunately, some videos were unable to upload, but the efforts of all students were well acknowledged by their peers in class.
