Our Second grade classes had a really cool visit from Christian Newman's parents where his dad (a beekeeper) shared everything he knows about bees. This went right with our CKLA Knowledge domain on insects and the kids were really excited (and scared because he tricked them with a speaker playing bee buzzing sounds hidden inside a box marked "Caution: Live Bees". April Fool's came early to our grade!
