Come and SeeBy Teresa Lilly

One day mother was walking through the housewith a big basket.

What are you doing with that basket? Billy

asked.

Collecting things. Mother said.What kind of things?

Come and see. Mother said.

Billy looked in the basket, there was an old pair of

Daddys blue jeans. There was sisters faded flannel

shirt. There was a pair of old boots. There was a

straw hat, a pair of old garden gloves and some

rope.

What are you going to do with all those things?

Billy asked.Come and see. Mother said.

Mother took the basket out into the garden.She set it down next to a pile of hay.

Billy, you and I will stuff all these

clothes with this hay. Mother said.So Billy and mother stuffed hay into the pants,

the shirt, the gloves, the boots and the hat.

Mother tied all the pieces together.

It started to look like a person.Mother sat it on the porch then put a pumpkin

on top it to look like a head.

Now you put its hat on. Mother told Billy.

Billy put the hat on and stood back to look at

the strange creation.

What is it mother? Billy asked.

Its our very own scarecrow. Mother said.

Just then a black bird flew down and landed

on the scarecrows hat.Mother laughed. Well it must not be very

scarey after all.

Pelele TossingHave you ever wanted to take a scarecrow and just

toss him up in the air? The people in Spain do. It iscalled tossing a Pelele.

In the early 1800s, tax collectors were not liked inSpain. The taxes were so high that some people inSpain were not able to pay for food and clothing.

To show how angry they were about the taxes,townspeople would grab the tax men, take ablanket and put the tax man on the blanket. Thenthey would toss him up and down in the air.

It is crazy how something like this has turned intoa sport. Now, instead of using real people, the playerstoss a Pelele or straw man up and down on theblankets.

They make the Pelele out of old clothes and makethe head from cloth sacks. They sew all the clothestogether and stuff it. Then they are ready to taketheir blankets and toss the Pelele into the air.

My Great, Great Grandmother Maggie was born November 14, 1905.

This is Part of a letter she wrote to her Great Grandchildren about her

young life:

This all goes back to when I first started to think what a nice home

and great parents I had, plus two brothers. We were very busy people, we

had a good farm with, horses, cows, calves, pigs, chicken and rabbits.

These animals were all raised to sell and pay the bills.

Dad had a cider mill and saw mill which was operated with his twobrothers. The mills were open for the public for making cider, jelly and

cutting lumber to build.

Our farm was 150 acres,

with woods, pastures and

farming land. Dad built our

house. It had a parlor sitting

room, living room, a hugebig kitchen for eating and

cooking, a pantry, four

bedrooms, and one big room

on the second floor for

storing the overflow buckwheat. The 3rd floor was for winter clothing and

drying fruits.

I was always along with my mother to do little things. Gatheringsomething from the garden, shelling beans and peas, washing dishes,

setting the table, and running errands. At the age of 7 my parents had a

baby girl, I was taught how to change diapers and bath a baby, and I took

some care of her when my mom was busy.

Old Times

When I was 8 years old, I got a beautiful china doll with real hair, a

leather body and a china tea set. This was when I got started using a

needle. Mom would cut out some simple things for the doll. Embroidery

work and batting, crouching was all the go then. My grandpa, the mason,

made me a cloth cupboard.Mom did a lot of canning. Since I was the oldest girl I had to learn

everything my mom was doing. We didnt work all the time, we

went to church on Sunday in the

afternoon, we had friends over or

we went to picnics and visited

families and friends. We even had

dances at their homes. That waswhen my father taught me to dance,

My family were great fisherman

and mom was too. She would take

to horse and buggy some food,

water and an umbrella for me and

go fishing. The lake was a mile

away. Dad had made a flat bottomboat so it was strong and stable, and mom would tie me in so I could not

fall out.

As I got bigger mom and I would go to the fields to help with the

haying, shucking corn, wheat, and buckwheat. We would go raspberry

and blackberry picking to can and make jam and jelly. At Thanksgiving

time, came the first pig to butcher. That was a very special time, we had

sausage, head cheese and blood pudding.We made a French cheese from churned milk left to sour, then

cooked

to a cottage cheese stage put in bag to drain very dry then ground fine,

pressed in crock salted then covered with cloth and a heavy plate. It was

then kept in warm place in 3 to 4 days it starts to ferment and had to be

stirred every day until it was ready.

Making apple butter outside in a copper bottle was a full days work.

It took about two to three hours to make the apples into apple sauce then

put into bottles, then we added sugar, cider, jelly and spice, and then

cooked it. Someone had to stir it at all times, we all helped. The paddle

had a long handle so we would not be to close to the fire. We kept stirringuntil it was ready to cool. It could be made as thick or thin as you wanted

by adding water and could be stored in crocks.

Now my sewing had started

developing and I was starting to

cut out little things for my doll.

Mom made her own patterns

and I did too. They were allmade by hand. I also made a

few things for myself when I

was 12 years old, with a little

help from mom. At 15 I was

making most of my own clothes.

At age 16, I went to town to

work for a woman. From thattime on I was on my own, all

grown up, able to take care of

myself. I only went home to help

mom until I got married.

Most of my schooling came

from my mother and father and

from doing the things I had todo. They were very good about

our reading, writing and

arithmetic plus other studies.

Teeth

When you are first born you dont seem to have any teeth. The truth is

they are really there but are just hidden under the gums. When a baby is

about 6-12 months old, they will start to break through the gum and appear.

After that first tooth breaks through, more and more teeth begin to appear.

Most kids have their first set of teeth by the time they are 3 years old. These

are called the primary or baby teeth, and there are 20 in all. When a child get

to age 5 or 6, these teeth start falling out, one by one.

A primary tooth falls out because it is being pushed out of the way by the pe

manent tooth that is behind it. Slowly, the permanent teeth grow in and takethe place of the primary teeth. By about age 12 or 13, most kids have lost all

of their baby teeth and have a full set of permanent teeth.

There are 28 permanent teeth in all eight more than the original set of bab

teeth. Between the ages of 17 and 21, four more teeth called wisdom teeth

usually grow in at the back of the mouth. They complete the adult set of 32

teeth.

43/110

The part of the tooth you can see, which is not covered by the gum is called t

crown. The crown of each tooth is covered with enamel which is very hard an

often shiny. Enamel is a very tough substance and it acts as a tooths persona

bodyguard. Enamel works like a wall, protecting the inside parts of the tooth

Under the enamal is the dentin. Dentin makes up the largest part of the tooth.

Although it is not as tough as enamel, it is also very hard.

Dentin protects the innermost part of the tooth, called the pulp. The pulp is

where each tooths nerve endings and blood supply are found. When you eat

hot soup, bite into a super-cold scoop of ice cream, fall and hurt a tooth, or ge

a cavity, its your pulp that hurts. The nerve endings inside the pulp sendmessages to the brain about whats going on. The pulp also contains the tooth

blood vessels, which feed the tooth and keep it alive and healthy.

The pulp goes all the way down into the root of the tooth, which is under the

gum. Cementum makes up the root of the tooth, which is anchored to the jaw

bone.

Types of Teeth

Your two front teeth and the teeth on either side of them are incisors. There

are four on the top and four on bottom.

Incisors are shaped like tiny chisels, with flat ends that are somewhat sharp.

These teeth are used for cutting and chopping food.

The pointy teeth beside your incisors are called canine teeth. There are four

them, two on top and two on bottom. Because these teeth are pointy and also

sharp, they help tear food.

Next to your canine teeth are your

premolars which are also called bicuspidteeth. You have eight premolars in all,

four on top and four on the bottom. these

are perfect for crushing and grinding food.

Way in the back are your molars. You have eight of these, four on the top an

four on the bottom. Sometimes these are called your 6-year molars and your12-year molars because that is around the time when they come in.The tongu

sweeps chewed-up food to the back of your mouth, where the molars grind i

until its mashed up and ready to be swallowed.

Hi, I am Miranda! Im 13 years old. My mom, Samantha, is helping

me write this article on Post carding across the world. We started a

Scrapbook when I was around 9 years old. My mom created a web site

with her Yahoo group just for me and other homeschoolers and we be-

gan to correspond with kids all over the world, one postcard at a time. We

work on this notebook each year and each year it gets bigger. When I got

older I started a Geography notebook to go along with the first Postcarding

notebook.

My mom created a web site on facts of Texas so we can send the webaddress along with our card so the kids can learn more about our State.

Sometimes I send out a funny postcard of a cowboy riding a jackrabbit.

The boys seem to like this card the most! I have postcards to exchange

of scenic pictures of Texas, historical postcards like our Alamo, Cowboy

themes, and mom has recipe cards to exchange with other moms.

Mom has links on her postcard group of online map games and things

to print out to place in my notebook. Its like Christmas when we get afree package from the states tourism office! Its filled with all kinds of

stuff from that State, including what is going on that year. Someday I hope

to visit some of these places. That is one of the things that is fun about this

hobby; it encourages me to want to travel to new places and it inspires my

imagination about our country and international destinations.

When I think of traveling to international places, I am reminded of

what I like most about Postcarding, which is getting post cards frominternational countries that I have never even heard of before. I also like

looking at my globe to find out where the postcards came from, and to

learn about the people who sent them.

We have been doing this for years now. Some people come to the

group and think they have to rush to collect them all within the school

year. We tell them to take their time and that new people join every week.

You never know who will join next and what new card you can get. I have

yet to get the same card twice.I just started my International collection. So far I have Iraq, Scotland,

Mexico, Philippines, Russia, England, Canada, Australia, Switzerland,

Liechtenstein, Holland, Germany, Hong Kong, New Zealand, United Arab

Emirates, and Thailand. I was amazed to find out that homeschoolers lived

in these places.

Did you know that Napoleon was exiled to a little Island called Saint

Helena? I didnt know this until we got a postcard from a home schoolfamily that lived there. It also took two months before a postcard from

Russia reached us; it was from a home school family that were

missionaries there. I have a beautiful picture of Hawaiis gorgeous surf,

and a red sail boat that looks like a kite in Hong Kong. I even got a

postcard from Iraq from a postcard kids

father stationed there last year.

Each year there is always somethingnew to do. This spring we are collecting

dried, pressed State flowers for each State.

My little brother Tommy will be next to

collect these in a few years. I will help

him from what I have learned.

If you want to start collecting post cards, you can

call yourself a deltiologist - thats a postcard

collector. They say its the third largest

collectible hobby in the world.

Here are some tips to get going.

Decide what kind of collection you want.

Pick a theme and let your friends and familyknow about it. Ask them to send you postcards

or bring them back from trips

Join a collectors club, look at antique stores.

You can go to MarylMartin.com they call them-selves the largest postcard store in the world.

You can display your cards in many ways. One

example is to hang up a map and place the cards

near where they came from.

Or you can buy post card books

to hold them all in.

amazing thing I had ever seen. A Kangaroo was standing

n the field. She had a baby Joey in her pouch. The Joeywas eating an apple. I quickly ran outside to get a closer

ook. I was surprised that the kangaroo did not hop away

when I approached her. She did look a bit frightened, but

oothed her with assurances that I would not hurt her. For

minute I just stared at her, then I said out loud, I wonderwhat you are doing here?

The kangaroo turned and looked at me, and said, Ive

heard that apples are good for your teeth, so I just came

here to get one for my joey. Now he will never have to go

describe the edge of

the leaf.

The Petiole is the

thin stalk that con-

Veins are used to

transport food and

water throughout the

leaf as well as for

structural support

Lesson 4

Types of Leaves: There are two different types of leaves,simple ( all one piece ) or Compound

(made up of small leaflets).

Simple leaves have a single blade that is

attached to the stem, usually by a petiole.

Compound leaves have a blade that is

divided into leaflets.

In compound leaves, the leaflets are

attached to a petiole-like midrib, which, in

turn, is attached to the stem.

Although leaves look very different they

usually are either toothed or lobed.

Toothed leaves have a jagged edge where as

lobed leaves are smooth edged.

Toothed or serrated (far left).

Smooth with pointed lobes (left of center).

Smooth or entire (right of center).Smooth with rounded lobes (far right)

Lesson 5Leaf Seasons:

Most leaves experience the four seasonsand change. In the Spring leaves bud on a

tree and begin to grow. In the Summer they

are at their full growth and are green. In the

Fall they start to lose their green and turn allsorts of colors. In the Winter they have died,

fallen from the tree and start to decompose.

Yoder free product


102/110

The Seasons change because the earth revolves aroundthe sun. At different times of the year certain areas onthe earth are closer to the sun. Those are the Spring and

Summer times. When the earth is pointed away from

the sun that is Fall and Winter.As the season changes so do the leaves. In the

spring the leaves begin to grow, as summer comes they

get healthy and green.

In the fall they begin to change color to yellow, orange

red and purple. In winter they turn brown and die.

Leaf Science project

Light and Leaf Color:

What you need:

a tree with leaves that turn red in autumn

aluminum foil or heavy paper and masking tape.

To Do:

Before the leaves turn colors in the fall, find a tree or

shrub that you know will turn bright red or purple.

Find several leaves that receive bright sunlight, and

cover part of them with foil or heavy paper and tape.

After the leaves have changed color, remove the cover-

ing and observe the different colors underneath. These

are the colors that were in the leaf all summer. The

bright reds and purples are only made in the fall, with

exposure to light.
