Bee Unit -Reading




Our books we are reading is the Bee Tree by Patricia Polacco; Winnie the Pooh and some Bees adaoted by Steven Krensky.


Amanda is reading the the Nature Reader number 2 by Christian Liberty Press. She is reading the section on bees.
We used The Bear and the Bee from Aseops Fable for narrating
.
The Bear and the Bees:
A bear roaming the woods in searc of berries happened on a fallen tree in which a swarm of bees had stored their honey. The bear began to nose around the log very carefully to find out if the bees were at home. Just then one of the swarm came home from the clover field with a load of sweets. Guessing what the bear was after, the bee flew at him, stung him sharply and then disappeared into the hollow log.
The bear lost his temper in and instant, and sprang upon the log tooth and claw, to destroy the nest. But this only brought out thewhole swarm. The poor bear had to take to his heels, and he was able to save himself only by diving into a pool of water
.
Moral: It is wiser to bear a single injury in silence than to provoke a thousand by flying into a rage
