Our spring gardens are flourishing with so many flowers for pollinators! The mason bees have hatched and are active in the garden, something that continues to capture students’ attention. They ask questions, watch them carefully and often draw what they see. This season is full of interest, teachable moments, and new things to explore. We are finishing the school year strong, with students learning and growing every moment!
