Seasons and AV2 Book Series

Spring is knocking at our door in the North Okanagan Shuswap, British Columbia, Canada!  Can you see signs of Spring?  Our seven primary classes today explored the topic of Spring - connecting and sharing stories.


 We looked at Science Kids: Seasons, Spring by AV2 books.  This publisher offers both print and non-print (digital/online) packages.  For example, the internet resources that support the Seasons book includes the following:

• Audio - you can listen to sections of the book
• Video clips of a song about spring and an online book
• embedded weblinks about Spring: "Sheppard Software: Seasons" and "Enchanted Learning" which offers some free links; otherwise, you must be a member
• Printables for a word searche, cross work puzzle, matching activities, etc.

The Bastion Learning Commons has sixteen AV2 titles at the moment.  Try them out!

Also this poem is known as "A Calendar"

January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,
Scatters daises at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,
Skipping by their fleecy damns.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hand with posies.

Hot july brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,
Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm september brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasents,
Then to gather nuts is pleasent.

Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.
