What Have We Already Learned?<br />
Remind students that plants have many different parts. Review<br />
with students the names of the important parts of a plant (roots,<br />
stems, branches, leaves, flowers, and seeds). Explain that today<br />
the students are going to learn more about flowers. If possible,<br />
show students examples of different kinds of flowers, and help<br />
them name each kind.<br />
Tell students that many animals like flowers, just like people do.<br />
Today they will get a chance to listen to a special guest, Polly the<br />
Honeybee. Polly loves flowers! Tell students that today they will<br />
hear about how Polly and her honeybee friends help flowers.<br />
Purpose for Listening<br />
Tell students to listen carefully to learn about how Polly and her<br />
honeybee friends help flowers.<br />
