“The smallest hummingbird weighs less than a US penny (2 grams).  The Giant hummingbird weighs as much as an AA battery (20 grams), and lives in the western part of South America.”

 

“Some bees are social animals, living together in a community, each member having certain duties or chores to contribute to the well-being of the colony.”

 

Bees evolved from carnivorous wasps by switching to a pollen/nectar diet, effectively becoming the ‘vegetarian’ branch of the wasp family tree.” 

 

These are some of the interesting facts written in the books donated to classrooms this season.

 

WHAT DO WE NEED TO CREATE A POLLINATOR GARDEN?

 

The large banner, a step-by-step guide to design a pollinator garden and local, native plants suggestions, has resulted in a practical resource. Each classroom keeps a laminated, smaller copy of the banner, which has been one of the most appreciated resources by teachers. 

                                                                                                    

*Water for frequent watering of plants

*Native Plants

*Space for direct sun for at least 6 hours a day

*Soil that we can prepare or improve 

 

The classroom went outside to observe trees and other native plants, as well as any pollinators present.

 

“There are so many things that our children and we have just taken for granted!  As teachers, we learn together with them about interesting and important information. Today, I learned so much about pollinators,”  one teacher expressed in the name of the entire school.

 

“Students walk me out to the school’s main door, waiting as I bring all materials out, waiting for VW bug Rocinante to start, asking if we will continue our lesson on conservation tomorrow, staring at me, only waiting to hear “We shall see very, very soon again.” Still standing seeing the car leaving is a sad moment every day, every season, but it makes me and all of our staff feel that every single effort to make Symbolic Migration possible is far too worthwhile as long as we see such faces of happiness, fun, and wish to see us back again very, very soon.”  ~Estela

“El colibrí más pequeño pesa menos de 2 gramos. El colibrí Gigante pesa lo que una batería AA (20 grs) y vive en la parte occidental de Sud América.”

“Algunas abejas son animales sociales que viven juntas en comunidad, cada miembro tiene determinados quehaceres para contribuir al bienestar de la colonia”

“Las abejas evolucionaros de avispas carnívoras que optaron por una dieta de polen y néctar, convirtiéndose en la rama vegetariana del árbol genealógico de las avispas”

 

 Éstos son algunos de los datos interesantes escritos en los libros de que se han donado a los salones esta temporada:

 

QUE SE NECESITA PAR RECREAR UN JARDÍN POLINIZADORWHAT DO WE NEED TO CREATE A POLLINATOR GARDEN?

 

La lona larga, una guía para diseñar paso a paso un jardín para polinizadores y sugerencias de plantas silvestres locales que resulten en un recurso práctico. Cada grupo conserva una copia laminada en versión pequeña que has sido uno de los recursos más apreciados por los maestros.

*Agua para riego frecuente de las plantas

*Plantas Nativas

*Espacio para recibir sol directo al menos durante al menos 6 horas al día                                                                                                 

*Tierra preparada ó mejorada

*Soil that we can prepare or improve 

 

Todo el grupo completo salimos a observar las diferentes especies de árboles, así como a reconocer plantas nativas así como la presencia de cualquier polinizador .

 

“¡Hay tant cosas que nuestros hijos y nosotros tomamos simplemente por hecho! “ Como maestros aprendemos acerca de aspectos muy interesantes. Hoy, aprendimos tanto acerca de los polinizadores” Expresó una de las maestras en nombre de toda la escueal.

 “Los alumnos me encaminan hasta la entrada principal, esperando a que mi VW Rocinante se arranque, preguntando si vamos a continuar la clase de conservación el día siguiente, mirándome fijamente como esperando escuchar “nos veremos muy, muy pronto otra vez” Verlos mantenerse quietos y de pié para ver partir el carro es algo triste cada año y cada día durante la temporada, pero para escuchar decir:  Nos veremos muy, muy pronto!, Estela.
