On Friday, Erik Notz was able to bring in honey bees and some beekeeping supplies to share more information about them with Cardinal preschool. This was a perfect connection to our final literacy unit, The Greedy Bee. Students were SO into the bees and what Erik had to share that he was there for over 40 minutes showing off all sorts of items and answering student and staff questions. It was a blast! 🍯🐝💛 Thank you so much for coming, Erik! 😊
