Eggrolls Sauerkraut

10th grade, required of all students. We used manual typewriters.

I'd probably offer popcorn or pretzels to counter the sweetness of cake and ice cream. Fruit is nice too. I'd have some juice, water, or milk on hand for those who do not drink soda.

Does he know his letters and sounds? If not, have him watch Leapfrog's Talking Letter Factory daily until he does. Then work with him 10 minutes a day three times a week using your phonics program. Have him watch Talking Words Factory on the other two days.

I try to limit meat analogs - Quorn, Morningstar/Boca, tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP to no more than twice a week. I do not worry about protein, my children seem to be thriving on almond butter (breakfast) and grilled cheese (lunch) sandwiches.

We can accommodate eight on furniture. More if they provide their own sleeping bags and don't mind sleeping on the floor. The eight would be sleeping in pairs on a sofa bed, a futon, and an air mattress.

Soy is considered a complete protein. Morningstar and Boca are soy-based. I believe Quorn is engineered to be complete, but don't know for a fact. Unless your daughter is eating ONLY fake meat, she is not likely to be suffering from a lack of protein. Non-fake meat, non-dairy, complete proteins - Nut butter on whole grain bread Stir fry that included nuts served on brown rice or other whole grain Eggs Hummus and pita (sorry, hummus is made from beans) Homemade veggie burgers Why no beans?

Get a few hand-cranked flashlights. Candles and oil lamps are fine for setting on tables, but I would not want to carry them around the house. I also would not want want my children to have them, or matches, in their bedrooms. Kid power is much cheaper than batteries.

We're using Five in a Row and lots of additional read aloud titles. My 4.5 year old is doing MEP Reception. He also likes Starfall and the Dinosaur Train website.

You can use mashed carrots in carrot cake. It changes the coloring of the cake more than the texture. You can make carrot bread or muffins. I frequently substitute carrots for zucchini in baked goods. Other ideas - carrot pie (it tastes much better than it sounds), carrot pudding, and vegetable dumplings. Cook and mash some of the carrots and hide them in tomato sauce, chili, or meatloaf/meatballs.

He wants a strong math program and lots of science and science experiments.

Their pregnancies were 20+ years ago. Pregnancy tests have advanced a lot since then.

I don't know if it is recommended, but I have reboiled eggs successfully. If your family likes meatloaf you can put some of the meatloaf mixture in a baking dish, then place peeled eggs on the meatloaf and top with the rest of the mixture. Bake as usual.

I know two women who had ligations and then found out they were pregnant. In both cases they were in the early stage of pregnancy at the time of the procedure.

I read it in the note to parents at the back of a Sunday School Book. I don't think I ever mentioned to my parents that I knew. Santa was not that big of a deal at our house. He filled our stockings and ate some of our cookies. The gifts under the tree were from family members.

Check the arts calendar for your nearest college or university (look on the university website). Art exhibitions and student recitals are usually free.

Many of the books in the Let's Read and Find Out Science series include experiments.

It could be minor irritation. How frequently did she ride her bike in the past? If she stands to pedal on inclines, then sits down hard, she could be bruising delicate tissue. Tell her to have an experienced cyclist check the height and angle of her bike's seat. If adjusting the seat does not work, a different seat could make a difference. She should also try padded biking shorts or underwear. A good bike shop will carry these.

My older son will eat to the crust, then ask for another sandwich. The answer is alway, "eat what you have first." If he is truly hungry, he will eat the crusts. You could try varying the plate size. For children who routinely ask for more food than they can eat, use smaller plates. It gives the appearance of larger servings. For those who think you are giving them too much food, put child- sized portions on larger plates. I try to err on the side of giving too small first servings. The child may have seconds, thirds, etc. if he eats what is on his plate.

A wooden train set. You can start small and add to it. Most of the sets - Brio, Thomas, Imaginarium can be mixed.

Mmmm. My favorite chocolate cake recipe. It is especially good with peanut butter frosting. It it also makes a great black forest cake. I've always made only one well because that's the way my grandma made it. Three wells might be fun.

All children learn through play. What they learn is a matter of environment. My oldest son knew his letters at age two because we read a lot of alphabet books to him. We read alphabet books because he enjoyed them. He learned his shapes playing with a shape sorter - "you have a circle, can you find the circle shaped hole? Good Job." My younger son learns a lot by observing and imitating his older brother. My nephew did not learn letters or shapes until he went to preschool. He could, however, identify the NFL teams by the colors on their uniforms. Guess what was important in that family?

Do they like to color? My 4.5 year old does not like coloring. He does love maps. We have a laminated world map that he puts on the floor. He then flies airplanes or takes boats from one country to another. (He uses cars on our U.S. map)

I'm using the Reception materials with my 4.5 year old. I printed both the lesson plans and copymasters and put them into separate 3-ring binders. (There are no practice books for reception.) If you are comfortable using a computer during lessons, you do not need to print the lesson plans. I put the copymasters in page protectors. We write on them with dry-erase markers. The evening before a lesson I read through the lesson plan and gather or make any additional materials we will need.
