This is how to make Dilly Bread ...

                                DILLY BREAD

1 package dry yeast

¼ cup warm water

1 cup creamed cottage cheese

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons instant minced onion

1 tablespoon butter

2 teaspoons dill seed or dill weed

1 ½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon soda

1 unbeaten egg

2 ¼ to 2 ½ cups flour

Soften yeast in warm water.  Heat cottage cheese to lukewarm:  add sugar, onions, butter, dill, salt, soda, egg and softened yeast.  Beat well.  Add flour to form a stiff dough.  Beat well.  Cover.  Let rise in warm place for about 1 hour until double in bulk.  Stir down and put into well-greased bread pan.  Let rise for about 30 minutes. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.  Brush with butter and a bit of salt.

The Herb Garden Ladies gave us this recipe so we could make dilly bread with the dill from our garden.

Earth Day Project

So we're a little late but we wanted to share our Earth Day Project.

We read Step Gently Out by Helen Frost.

Here's a book trailer to get you excited -


Step Gently Out • A nature picture book for all ages from Step Gently Out on Vimeo.

After we read the beautiful poem and decided that Helen Frost wrote the poem to share her love of bugs and inspire others to notice, protect and enjoy them too. We put all our thoughts about her purpose for writing the book into ABCya's Word Cloud. Then used Pic Collage to combine it with images from the book.

We used ThingLink to add everyone's thinking recorded from Croak.it, and added a few extras at the top. Here's the final result.



This week we'll be sharing our research videos and lots about plants! Check back soon!

We have tadpoles!

We know that tadpoles can also be called POLLIWOGS. 

Lane & Gigi made this Pic Collage to share.
