Blueberries For Sal (Picture Puffin Books)

Product Information

I loved that the numbers were big and clear on each card, and each from was already filled in with little blueberries. We used these to practice counting, number recognition, and one to one correspondence. I actually laminated these cards to use over and over again – which has been really helpful!

I hope these fun activities for Blueberries for Sal help you enjoy this great book with your little ones. If your young readers enjoyed these activities, try this simple blueberry unit study. It is a good idea to plant two different varieties of blueberries to ensure cross-pollination although two of the same variety is just as acceptable. A single blueberry plant will produce fruit, but the yields will be higher and the fruits bigger if more than one plant is grown. They require a position in full sun or light shade. Finney draws a long but direct line from the manifest-destiny narrative of the 19th century to the 2006 inaugural “Green Issue” of Vanity Fair, an annual issue that was devoted to profiling the most important figures in environmental conservation and a tradition that was curtailed after only a few years. “The stories were great!” she said. “But they were all about white Americans, white Europeans, white Canadians.” Finney remembers seeing only a handful of people of color represented in the whole issue, one of whom was Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan woman who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work on sustainable development. Unequal representations like that one, Finney said, help reinforce the idea that exploring, learning about, and preserving nature and wildlife are predominantly white pursuits. For deliveries the size of ours, this just doesn't make sense for us or for our international customers, and so we have made the difficult - but necessary - decision to stop selling our plants internationally. We do very much hope that this will be a temporary measure and look forward to resuming trading internationally in the future. Delivery Information This stiffly upright growing variety has silvery frosted foliage and an intense red-yellow colouration in autumn. The fruits are medium in size and are also frosted. They have a good aroma with a clear acidity. Buddy Blue® is the ideal pollination partner for Pink Lemonade®.Decide how many you want to hide and then hide that many throughout your home. Tell your child how many ‘blueberries’ are hidden and challenge them to find them all. The adventures of little Sal and the baby bear while hunting for blueberries with their mothers are beautifully illustrated in this classic children’s book. I especially enjoyed the old fashioned quality of the drawings as they capture the spirit of a long gone era. I’m also reminded of the scene from The Beach (based on the Alex Garland novel) in which the main characters are chased through a crop of marijuana. THE BIG STRUGGLE A vigorous late season variety, Calypso is a cold-hardy and easy to grow variety producing high yields of medium-large sized berries of excellent quality. The large fruit is sweet, round and light blue in colour. Heroes of thrillers are Every Men (or ordinary children; low mimetic heroes to use Northrop Frye’s terminology.)
