Pollinator Posters

Looking for more information on our local pollinators? Mrs. Kromer’s third grade class has you covered! The students have prepared posters and brochures about honey bees and butterflies.

Recycled Life Cycles!

As the weather warms, we start seeing more butterflies fluttering from flower to flower! But where do butterflies come from? A long time ago, people thought butterflies came from soil. Mrs. Kromer’s third grade class knows better than that! To showcase the life cycle of butterflies, our third graders have created diagrams with recycled material found around their house.

Special thank you to William, Vincynt, Logan, and Ross for sharing their beautiful diagrams with us!

Planting pollinator gardens!

Happy Spring and Earth Week to all!

We care a lot about pollinators here at RCAAS! Pollinators are creatures that carry pollen from one flower to another, which allows that flower to develop into a seed. Sometimes those seeds are small, like sunflower seeds, or big, like a watermelon.

Unfortunately, pollinator populations are declining across the globe. Each year there are fewer butterflies and bees. This is a big problem because we need those insects to grow many different fruits and vegetables! Luckily, Mrs. Kromer’s third grade class is studying these pollinators and discovering ways we can help them!

Today we are sharing Sophia, Ross, and William’s pollinator garden designs! The gardens were designed after researching different native plants to understand how big they will get, how much sunshine they need, how much water they need, and what kind of pollinators they attract.
