Mrs. Lejeune is as sweet as honey! She presented me with a
jar of yummy mountain honey with the honeycomb inside from a recent trip she
took to Tennessee. Before I brought this amazing product home to enjoy for
myself, I decided it would be a wonderful learning experience to share with my
friends. The honey with comb inside provided us an awesome opportunity to
observe, question, explore, taste and much more. My friends agreed the honey tasted sweet and was
so delicious. They loved exploring the comb with different magnifying
glasses. We learned that a honeycomb is
a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honeybees in their nests to contain
their larvae and stores of honey and pollen. We concluded by writing about this awesome
experience. This gift supplied wonderful writings,
vocabulary expansion, experimentation, questioning, etc... "Higher-order” thinking questions
require my friends to apply, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information
instead of simply recalling facts. I am
a planner, but I've learned to stop and take time for unexpected learning
experiences. They can be the
best! Until next time enjoy your
kindergartners. I sure am enjoying mine!
