Petitgrain is sourced in Paraguay, distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange trees. The trees can be harvested up to twice per year, so many farmers harvest and distill the oil as a sort of “savings” for any additional needs that arise. The used leaves and twigs from distillation are re-used as mulch, fuel for the distillation units, or as animal feed. How amazing is that?
For the little ones I love to create new and fun things for Speaking. The feed me boxes are so great for that. They all want to participate. You just need a cutout to place onto a box. Also, you need the cutouts to feed. It can be clip art cutouts, magazine cutouts, worksheets cutouts or anything that you might think of. It can be obviously used in the classroom but you must be wondering how can I pull that out online. Well, make a small one and have the students dictate which word should be put into the feed me box character. Here are some of my activities. 1. Make a feed me box out of a cereal box. I printed this clip art that I included in the Seasons theme. It fitted perfectly. I opened the mouth hole with an x-acto knife and scissors. The worksheets that the students had to work with were cut into cards and inserted into the mouth. Teacher: Feed the butterfly to the Old Lady! You can check this blog post here: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2019/05/seasons-unit-worksheets-for-preschool.html I also used a cereal box for the farm animals.Here is the blog post link: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2016/10/farm-animals-theme-for-preschool-ell.html Make another feed me box using a bigger box from the supermarket. I covered the box with a pink paper and then glued the Monster clipart. This is for the alphabet theme. Here is the link to this blog post: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2018/10/alphabet-printable-flashcards-and_16.html I made worksheets that are turned into small cards. Students can feed the monster as they say a sentence. Students: Eat the orange! This day I didn’t have a box ready for the spider, so I had this lid of a box and used it. The activity was what do insects eat ? In this case, spiders eat insects, flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches. Feed the spider as you ask Do spiders eat snails? The students would answer NO! so, you won’t feed it. Then, ask Do spiders eat butterflies? Students will agree and you will feed the spider.Here is the blog post link: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2016/12/insects-worksheets-and-more-for.html I made feed me boxes out of small boxes for smaller characters. Here is for feeding the Zoo Animals. The same thing as above, What does the giraffe eat? The giraffe eats leaves. Make feed me boxes out of toilet paper tubes. Just glue a small cutout onto the front of each tube, cut a small slit on the mouth of each pet. Have the students feed each pet that the given animal can eat. They can say sentences such as: Rabbit eat carrots! Here is the link to the blog post: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2016/04/pet-activities-for-preschool-ell.html Feed me plates. For making these you need 3 paper plates. Glue the like and don’t cutout onto each plate. Cut one plate in half and glue the mouth half of the cutout onto each one. Then, glue this part onto the plate. Use the plates for sentences such as: I like potatoes! I donn’t like carrots! Students can say sentences for their own food likes. Save the plates for all the food units.Here is the link to the blog post. https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2016/02/vegetables-activities.html I made another feed me box using a recycled mashed potato box from the kitchen. I glued a white paper onto the front and then glued the mom cutout and cut a slit on the mouth. Then, have the students feed the family members as they speak. For older kids make the same fun feed me boxes but for feeding words they can read. Here is the link to the blog post. https://eflelementaryresources.blogspot.com/2019/01/possessive-pronouns-nouns-adjectives.html I will keep making more feed me boxes for speaking activities.

Understanding Equine Digestion When grazing, a horse feeds predominately on leaves, plant stems and buds, consuming the bulk of its feed as forage or...
I have fond memories of pressing flowers and leaves collected on walks with my mom and dad. We lived in an apartment but had trails behind our house we would walk regularly. Sometime we’d bring apples and carrots to feed the horses that lived on the property along the trail.
What owner of a fit sighthound hasn’t heard this before? Outside of a dog show, sighthound owners are all too familiar with dirty looks, a cold shoulder, and even accusations of cruelty (“that dog is too thin!!”). We think it’s time to spread the word that what’s really cruel is a fat sighthound. The magnificent creature […]
They say the Autumn colours have been better than ever this year. I live in an area with lots of tree-lined avenues, and the sight of the gorgeous colours, particularly when the sun is on them, has found me collecting stacks of leaves with the kids. Having got them all home I then had to decide what we were going to do with them all, so here’s what we did with some of them. You do need a laminator for these activities I’m afraid, but if you don’t have one, they’re not expensive and come in very useful for all kinds of things – not to mention art and craft activities! Leaf mobiles/sun catchers You can hang these in front of a window to let the light shine through the rich colours. Laminate a varied collection of brightly coloured leaves (you can fit several onto one laminating pouch). Once the leaves have been laminated, cut them out (allowing a small margin of plastic around the leaf), punch a hole in the top, and feed a fine cotton or nylon thread through the holes, knotting the leaf into position on the thread as you go. I started with a large leaf at the top, using progressively smaller leaves further down. Tie a small loop at the top. Alternatively you could string the leaves to form a garland or get a little more ambitious and create a proper mobile using old wire coathangers to suspend the threads from. Stained ‘glass’ Leaf Windows All you have to do here is take your coloured leaves, and arrange them into a design of your choice on your laminator pocket, before sealing. Children can create their own picture by arranging the leaves, while an adult takes charge of the laminating. A black card window mount will display it to advantage. For the next 2 pieces, I put several of the laminated sheets we had created together – I hadn’t actually planned to do this, but discovered accidentally that it creates a lovely layered carpet of leaves on your window. Autumn Leaf Gift Tags I had a few of the laminated leaves left over from the suncatcher, so I used them as decorative gift tags. I combined them with a plain manilla tag to write a message on, but you could dispense with this and write directly on the laminated leaf with an OHP pen if you chose. Remember that the colours of the leaves are fugitive, especially in sunlight and won’t last forever, fading eventually to brown. But at least you can enjoy the colours in your home for a little longer after they’ve disappeared from the trees, and even once they have faded, the variety of leaf shapes are attractive enough in their own right.
Salvia Allen Chickering is one of the many Salvia clevelandii x Salvia leucophylla hybrids available on the market. It has grey green leaves and attractive whorls of light purple/medium blue flowers. Hummingbirds and butterflies love to feed on the nectar produced. Very similar to Pozo Blue, Aromas, and the typical Salvia clevelandii that is mistakenly sold as the straight species in the nursery industry. Tolerant of many soil types, provided that watered carefully (heavy soil requires less water than sandy soils). Best with an annual pruning in the early fall to promote fresh growth the following spring. Although it can be grown in the landscape without this maintenance, most view it as unsightly and bloom cycles may be weaker. Take care in pruning making sure that leaves are left below all of the pruning cuts. Failure to leave leaves, typically leads to mortality.
Pillbugs, sowbugs, roly-polies and woodlice, collectively referred to as isopods, are land-dwelling crustaceans that feed mainly on decaying organic matter, especially rotting wood and leaves. Pillbugs can roll into a tight ball or a pill — an ability called conglobation. Sowbugs, on the other hand, cannot conglobate and would have a pair of tail-like appendages
Ferns are beautiful and popular houseplants that can add a touch of greenery to any indoor space. If you want to keep your fern healthy and thriving, here are a few tips to help you care for it: 1. Light: Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid placing your fern in direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. 2. Water: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water your fern when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. 3. Humidity: Ferns love humidity, so mist the leaves regularly or place a tray of water nearby to keep the air around the plant moist. 4. Fertilizer: Feed your fern once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. 5. Pruning: Remove any yellow or brown leaves to keep your fern looking healthy and tidy. Follow these s
This is the most common pest of gooseberries, white and red currants. Adult sawfly are yellow with black markings and black heads. The adult females usually lay their eggs into the undersides of lower leaves. These hatch into pale green, black-spotted and black-headed larvae that feed gregariously and rapidly devour the leaves. When mature (20mm in length), the larvae form silk cocoons in the soil and pupate within. Up to three generations can occur each year. The final generation overwinter as pupae in the soil.
Tendu is its Hindi name. It is also known as Coromandel Ebony or East Indian Ebony (Diospyros melanoxylon). They use the leaves of the Tendu to make beedi. The langurs and the deer feed on the berries which taste very much like the chikoo. We found this bark to be so similar to that of the Crocodile Bark tree. Wonder if we can tell them apart, if there is every a possibility of seeing them together. The size, maybe ? The Tendu seems to be slimmer.
