主題語境:環(huán)?;▓@ 篇幅:332詞 建議用時:6分鐘
1A pollinator (傳粉者) garden is filled with flowering plants that attract pollinators.The garden gives pollinators,including bees,butterflies and birds,a place to live and reproduce.The garden in my community was started by Angela Germano and Bridget Royce.The two women are my fifth-grade teachers at Dover Intermediate School.They combined their dreams of helping the environment with a hands-on science lesson by showing students how to create a pollinator garden.
2I recently spoke with both teachers to learn more.They explained that in March 2020, connecting with students was a challenge.Germano, who teaches science, and Royce, who teaches math, applied for a grant (撥款) fromNational Geographicto start a pollinator garden.Their goals included educating students through project-based learning and helping the environment.They imagined a project that would bring students and members of the community together.
3Students designed the pollinator garden as an assignment for science class.The teachers took the best ideas in these assignments and combined them for the final garden design.“We took different parts of as many projects as we could,to be able to really incorporate all of the students'feedback,”Royce said.
4Students and parent volunteers help maintain the garden.Community days are held for weeding, planting and mulching (用覆蓋物覆蓋).Teachers hope that students will spend as much time as possible in the garden,especially as spring approaches.So far,kids have enjoyed working on their assignments,which include reading,filling bird feeders,and scavenger hunts(尋寶游戲).
5“Next steps are expanding the space and getting more kids close to the space throughout their day,”Royce said.Both teachers encourage students and their families to make their own gardens, too.Even if just one student is inspired, he or she in turn can inspire others.
6“This doesn't have to be a big, expensive thing,”Germano said.“Maybe you start just a milkweed garden, because you want to help butterflies.Start small, and find other people to work with.”
