1 You can use a tortilla or flatbread to create a delicious wrap filled with your favorite ingredients. Wraps are like sandwiches with a twist! Try making my Creole Chicken Wraps for a little taste of New Orleans-style cooking! Creole cuisine is a style of cooking that started in Louisiana. It blends the cooking styles of the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Native American and African peoples that live there. Homphones are words that sound the same but have different meanings like wrap and rap. Sky is the color of my shirt. We saw a polar cub at the zoo. The bird flew right my window. Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information. Look at these homophones. Which homophone goes in each sentence? After the leaves fell, the trees were.

Standards Link: Vocabulary Development: Understand that two words combined make a compound word.

4 Cooking together builds confidence AND strengthens families! Find the words in the puzzle. Look forwards, backwards and diagonally. Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognized identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns. TEACHERS: Have students find the words in this list on the other IT S A WRAP pages.

5 Writing is a way to cook up big ideas using the power of imagination. Describe a time you tried a new food. Were you nervous about trying it? Did you like it?

7 Exercise, like cooking, should be fun. And both are key to healthier families. Have someone read this story aloud. Every time you hear a verb, jump up and do that action for 30 seconds. (If you hear the word run, for example, run in place for 30 seconds.) Chef Emily runs a really crazy restaurant. She cooks delicious food, but in unusual ways. Emily drives to a local farm every morning for fresh eggs. But she practices juggling them. This can get messy, but eventually she rolls them into the back of her truck. She calls this her Pre-Scrambled Eggs. Chef Emily s pancakes are very popular. She stirs the batter with a baseball bat. She climbs an orange tree behind her restaurant for fresh fruit to serve with the pancakes. During the lunch hour, Chef Emily rides a zebra named Ed to deliver sandwiches to office workers. She also swims across the lake to feed the ducks. Dinnertime is very busy for Chef Emily. She rolls out dough for her amazing pizzas. She stretches the dough and tosses it into the air, all while balancing on one leg! She uses her karate skills to chop the vegetables for her soup. Chef Emily sings when the customer s orders are ready, and the waiters dance to each table. When her restaurant closes for the evening, Chef Emily and Ed rollerskate home. (Ed s motorcycle is in the shop.) But before they do, Emily scrubs all the pots and pans, mops the floors and rocks her pet iguana to sleep. Write your own exer-story and read it aloud to friends.
