A fun read about how animals have traits that help them survive. This text has 5 ELA style questions. Great for integration as science into the ELA block. This version tracks at 0.8 on the Flesh-Kinkaid scale. Supports Standards: (1-LS1-1) All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. (1-LS1-1) TEKS 1.10 Organisms and environments. The student knows that organisms resemble their parents and have structures and processes that help them survive within their environments.

This is such a good way to turn tomatoes into an utterly delicious main-course sort of affair, and it’s fun to make too. The idea is, of course, toad-like, but I think it offers a little more than bangers in batter. The tomatoes are so sweet and juicy they almost make a gravy of their own accord. I add wedges of red onion and lots of garlic, rosemary and thyme, which all work wonderfully. A little finely grated aged cheese is a nice touch – you could even use a blue cheese if you liked. Plus – after more than 20 years of cooking – I’ve finally found a batter recipe I want to be associated with. It actually works, every time. Thank you, Barney!

We made it! It is finally Friday and time for Five for Friday at Doodle Bugs Teaching. 1. Have you ever had one of those weeks where you are just thankful to have made it to Friday all in one piece? I didn't even need to look up to know that there was a full moon this week! W-O-W did we have a week....not following directions, way too talkative, and some very smart mouths. I am glad it is over and also glad that Monday will bring us a fresh start. 2. We worked on inferencing this week and took some time to create these fun foldables from A Teacher's Treasure. 3. We also did this great prefix/suffix sort from Mrs. Lesser's Classroom. 4. I found this great tub at the Dollar General for $5 and plan on using some vinyl to turn it into a clipboard tote.

You want to peel away the stem's outer red-green layer. Partially-peeled stem. The outer reddish-green layer easily splits away from the delicious inner light-green layer. I'm told you can boil, peel and eat the thistle heads like artichokes but I have not tried this yet. Texas distribution, attributed to U. S. Department of Agriculture. The marked counties are guidelines only. Plants may appear in other counties, especially if used in landscaping. North American distribution, attributed to U. S. Department of Agriculture. A bane to many landowners, Bull Thistles stand tall and spikely menacing across Texas fields. They can reach over four feet tall in ideal growing conditions with multiple purple flowers on each stalk. The spines along the edges of the leaves and flowers are stiff, sharp, and very painful. Few animals will eat these plants due to the daunting spines and so without any enemies to keep them in check Bull Thistles can overrun a field in just a few years. Bull Thistles are an absolutely delicious treat if you know the trick. When the very first flowers appear cut down the thistle as close to the ground as possible and cut off the leaves, discarding them. Peel the outer, stringy layer off the stem which is easy to do. Get your thumbnail under it and pull the outer layer off, it'll come off easily. The peeled stalk tastes like sweet celery and I love it raw and used in salads. You can also cook it in any dish which calls for celery such as stews and Asian stir-frys. Buy my book!
