A grandfather teaches his granddaughter how to care for bees. |
Teaching Ideas: |
The beautiful illustrations of this easy reading book could be used alone with very low level readers to dictate a story. Most readers will be curious about questions raised by the story. Why do bees swarm? What is the role of the queen bee? How are the tools used? Look at the web site below to learn more about beekeeping. Pair the book with Paul Fleischman's Joyful Noise or Jane Yolen's Owl Moon. Students might enjoy discussing or writing about skills that they have learned from grandparents.
