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 />
