The month of August is Honey Bee month at Emmett’s Expeditions. This month is the perfect opportunity to teach our kids about honey bees and how important they are in our lives. Emmett and I will be going to an observation hive this week for our first field trip of the school year. Also, we are doing a honey bee writing challenge. You’re welcome to join us.

Today I’ll be sharing:

Honey Bee Writing Challenge

In honor of National Honey Bee Day, I am hosting a Honey Bee Writing Challenge for homeschoolers. First, have your students write a short story or poem about honey bees. Then, email their writing assignments to me by the evening of August 18th. Each homeschooler will have a chance to be featured on the Emmett’s Expedition blog next week. This challenge is open to students of all grade levels. They can write fiction or non-fiction. The specifics of their writing assignment is up to you 🙂 Homeschooling is awesome like that.

Honey Bee Writing Ideas

There are many different things to write about when it comes to honey bees. Your kids can write about they honey bee life cycle, the queen bee, worker bees, the waggle dance, colony collapse disorder, or how honey is made. There are many more topics I’m sure your awesome homeschoolers can come up with.
