Literature Pockets, Folktales & Fairytales, Grades K-1

Amazon Price: $10.19 (as of 12/02/2008)Buy Now

I am currently using this product with my two little girls, ages 3 1/2 and 4 3/4. They are having so much fun. There is a lot of coloring, cutting, and pasteing which is nice because it gives them something to keep them busy while I am teaching the older kids. This product would also be easy to adapt to lapbooking if the master pages were printed smaller.

You can also purchase a digital copy of this product from Currclick, which makes it much easier to print copies for multiple children.

Wheat Bread 

This is a very good wheat bread recipe which we have used often with good results.

wheat3 (1/4 oz.) packages active dry yeast
3 cups warm (110 to 115 degree F) water
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
5 cups whole wheat flour
4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, eggs, oil, salt, and whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turnonce to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down. Divide into three pieces; shape each piece into a loaf. Place in three greased 8 X 4 X 2-inch loaf pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degree F for 40-45 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on racks or slice and serve warm with butter.
