Do you know there are millions of
different plant species on earth? Have
you ever wondered how difficult it
would be for a scientist to study each of
them? While all plants have similar
pots, plants that are essential for its
living often look different. These
differences are used to group plants
into different types. While there are
many ways to study plant classification,
one way is to group them based on
their sizes. We see a lot of plants
around us. Some plants are big and
strong. Some plants are small and
weak. Trees are big plants. They are
quite strong. They have many
branches and strong woody stems.
Shrubs are smaller than trees. They
also have many branches and woody
stems. Herbs are small plants with soft
and green stems. They are smaller
than shrubs. Climbers and creepers
are also small plants. Stems of these
plants are very weak. Climbers stand
erect with the help of another plants or
objects. Whereas, creepers do not
stand erect. Creepers crawl along the
ground.

Learn the best method on how to boil
eggs to produce the perfect hard-boiled egg
every single time without any fuss. First,
place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Be
sure not to crowd the eggs in the pan. They
should fit comfortably. Next, Fill the pan
with cold water, 1 inch above the eggs.
Once the water comes to a boil, cover the
pan with a lid and remove the pan from the
heat. Do not lift the lid. Set a timer for the
type of boiled egg you want, from 4 minutes
to 12 minutes. After that, fill a large bowl
with ice and water. Then, when the eggs
reach the desired cooking time, use tongs
to remove the eggs from the hot water and
immerse gently into the prepared ice water
to cool, about 10 minutes. Finally, gently
tap the eggs against a hard surface and
peel away the shell. Rinse the egg under
cold water to remove any bits of shell and
pat dry.

There are lots of reasons why I like
my classroom. First, it is really big and
roomy. We sit at rectangle tables that are
about six feet by two feet. Since there are
four of us sitting at the table, we have lots of
room. The chairs are comfortable. They are
bright orange and have matching cushion
seats and backs. The floor has a light green
rug, which means we don’t need tennis balls
on the chair legs to keep the noise down.
The bulletin boards are neat. They run all the
way from floor to the ceiling, and our teacher
writes on them in bright colors. There is a
great reading area in our room. It has a blue
couch that my teacher said used to be her
apartment. The couch has four comfy
pillows, two red, one yellow, and one blue-
striped. Next to the couch are lots of books
in big, bright-colored baskets, so I never
have a problem finding something I like to
read. My classroom? It’s the best!

of broomstick has turned into pieces. She still used
it but found it hard to use them separately, so she

owner decided to throw them into a trash bin and
