Berry Picking




Berry Picking is the companion book to the curriculum module, Picking Berries, and part of the Math in a Cultural Context series. Designed for grades 2-3 and developed in consultation with Yup'ik elders, Berry Picking centers on a family camping and gathering food for the long winter season along the Kuskwin River in southwest Alaska. The children learn to carefully observe the environment and wait for the right time to pick berries. As they pick, the children are told traditional Yup'ik stories. When the family returns from their trip, they store most of the berries for later and use some of them to make ice cream. Written in both English and Yup'ik, the book features color illustrations on each spread as well as a glossary of terms.
