 Stiati că …
 Florile sunt plante decorative care ne încanta şi ne emoţioneaza prin gingaşia ,

culorile şi parfumul lor delicat cu care înmiresmează aerul .

 Laleaua este originară din Asia .
 In Europa , laleaua a fost cultivată cu multa gingaşie şi dragoste mai ales în

Olanda, care este numita azi » Ţara lalelor » .

 Narcisa, ghiocelul , vioreaua, panseluţa sunt originare din Europa .
 La noi in ţara exista rezervaţii naturale de narcise .
 Japonezii sunt cei mai pricepuţi în aranjarea florilor .Arta aranjării florilor se

numeşte ikebana .Cuvantul « ikebana » înseamna « floare vie » .

 Frunza este numită « bucătăria » plantei .Frunzele au nevoie de apă, lumina,
căldura şi săruri minerale pentru a pregătii « hrana » plantei .
 Distruse fără milă, multe dintre flori au dispărut , iar altele sunt tot mai rare.
Aceste specii de florii sunt ocrotite prin lege pentru a se împiedica dispariţia
lor. Dintre aceste flori amintim : arborele lalea, laleaua pestriţa , floarea de
colţ , bujorul romanesc , garofiţa Pietrei Craiului .
 Frunzele işi schimbă pozitţia dupa lumină , se îndreapta spre lumina mai
puternică .
 Există « Calendarul Ecologistului « :. Astfel :

- 22 martie este Ziua Internationala a Apei .

- 15 aprilie este Ziua Internationala a Padurii.
- 22 aprilie este Ziua Internationala a Pamantului .
- 21 iunie este Ziua Soarelui .
Note !
I chose to write in Romanian the last two pages because children wanted to express
themselves in a free way, and because we are talking about kindergarten children, I
pointed out these extra-information in Romanian. The lesson was in English more
11
than 80% and at the end of it we spent about 10 minutes talking in Romanian about
Spring flowers and about the impressions they acquired after this lesson.For me, it
was a wonderful experience to « collaborate » with this beautiful group of children
and I trully hope to have the chance to do this again.
