Local beekeepers Mr. Babcock and Mr. Lieb visited Ocean City Elementary School's 3rd graders on June 3rd, to teach the students all about why bees are critical pollinators and also about their life cycles. They even brought two sets of live bees so that the children could see them working in the hive. It was an exciting and informative visit for the students.
Students in Mrs. Vorsteg's second grade class at O.C.E.S. researched, wrote and illustrated a book, "Amazing Animals" and had it published. Pictured with copies of the book are Ellie Smith, Mack Ashton, and Zoie Zupon.
OCES fourth grade science students had the opportunity to work with WCPS Coach of Instructional Technology and Innovation, Nick Genovesi. Students learned how to create interactive presentations using the Numbers app on their iPads. Students will use this program to share the information they have been gathering for their animal research projects. The culminating activity for the unit will be a field trip to the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, DC.
Donuts with Grown-Ups is this Friday!
