Having trouble viewing this email?   Activities and Ideas for BookFlix Subscribers March 2012 Spring Arrives with BookFlix Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner! March 20th marks the official start of the spring season. Here are a few ideas on how to use BookFlix to get children excited about the warmer weather and springtime flowers: • Use the pair Planting a Rainbow and It Could Still Be a Flower to introduce your students or patrons to all of the different types of flowers that will bloom in the spring. • Have each child make an illustration of their favorite flowers. Then mount these drawings on the wall to create a colorful indoor garden. • Grow a real garden with your classroom or library group. Have children bring in various seeds they would like to grow and plant them in egg cartons or other containers. Once plants are at the seedling stage they can be used to create a garden on the school or library grounds. For additional BookFlix activities you can use to learn about the spring season check out the pair Miss Rumphius and From Seed to Dandelion. Listen, interact, and exchange ideas with leading experts to ensure that your classroom and community are at the forefront of research-based and standards-aligned practice in 2012. Register Now!
