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 Picture book unit studies were my favorite part of homeschooling when my daughters were young. Nothing we did had more of an impact on them than reading a favoriteclassic book together. When we found one they loved, we of course read them again and again. Those wonderful dog-eared books became part of who my daughters are today, as young adults. One of the tastiest activities for Blueberries for Sal is to make a blueberry treat. At the end of the story, Sal and her mother can all of the fresh blueberries so they will be able to enjoy them over the winter.

Today, I’m sharing some of the activities that we did for Robert McCloskey’s Blueberries for Sal. This is technically a Before Five in a Row book, which is right on level where I can teach both of the older boys together. Blueberries for Sal Activities Scot Plants Direct offer a large range of Blueberry Bushes or Plants that are 2-3 years old, and developed enough to be fruit-bearing this year or next, and will crop for many years to come. An extremely vigorous mid-late season variety with an upright growth habit. The fruit is smaller than other varieties, but very sweet tasting and dark in colour. Atlantic is adapted to difficult growing conditions, making it an excellent choice for any garden. 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 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.

SPEND time discussing the details of the final illustration of Blueberries for Sal. One daughter (my now-16-year-old homesteader) recently told me that she would love to sit and stare at it when she was a toddler, wishing she could step into Sal’s kitchen. Today she’s the onewho climbs the mountain, makes the jam, and is making plans for a dual major inagriculture and entrepreneurship in college. I mentioned the book recently, when I started compiling this unit study, and she chimed in with her love of that particular illustration. I never realized that that illustration was the beginning inspiration behind her current passion for sustainable living. Since we moved, we are fortunate enough to have a couple of blueberry bushes on our property that we were able to enjoy this season. STUDY the biblical story of Ruth.
