Students at LePort Montessori School Irvine Westpark Release Ladybugs
Students celebrate Earth Day and protecting the environment by releasing beneficial bugs into their schoolyard to help local vegetation
On April 21, students at Leport Montessori School Irvine Westpark in Irvine in bugged out in celebration of Earth Day as they released ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students additionally planted flowers in the schoolyard to help the local population of bees and other pollinators.
Leading up to Earth Day, students learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. LePort Montessori teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at an early age.
