What’s Inside? Daily Fundamentals has 30 weeks of cross-curricular skills practice. Each week provides targeted practice with language, math, and reading skills. The focused daily tasks progress in difficulty as students move from Day 1 tasks to Day 5 tasks. Item types range from multiple choice and matching to constructed response and open-ended questions. Language items practice grammar, mechanics, spelling, and vocabulary. Math items practice number and operations, algebraic thinking, geometry, measurement and data, and problem solving. Reading items practice core reading comprehension skills such as inference, prediction, author’s purpose, main idea and details, fact and opinion, nonfiction text features, and literary analysis.

How to Use This Book Using Daily Fundamentals as morning work or bell ringers Have the daily practice activity on students’ desks when they arrive in the morning, after recess, or during a transitional period. Have students complete the assignment independently. Then have them share their answers and the strategy or approach they used. Encourage discussion about each item so students can share their thinking and provide support and insights to one another. These discussions may also provide you with teachable moments and information to guide your instruction. Using Daily Fundamentals for homework Assign one weekly unit at the beginning of each week. Students will have the autonomy to manage their time to complete the assignment, and they will benefit from the focused practice of language, math, and reading comprehension skills. At the end of the week, display the answer key and allow students to correct their own work. Facilitate a class discussion about the items and allow students to share their answers. Encourage students to model how to solve problems or answer items that their classmates may have struggled with. Using Daily Fundamentals as an informal assessment You may wish to use the weekly lessons as an informal assessment of students’ competencies. Because each week’s practice focuses on a particular skill or concept, the tasks provide you with a detailed view of each student’s level of mastery. Skills Scope and Sequence

Skills Scope and Sequence Use the scope and sequence chart to identify the specific skills that students are practicing.

Student Progress Chart Students can monitor their own progress by recording their daily scores and thinking about their success with different skills. Reproduce and distribute the progress chart to students at the beginning of each week. For older students, you may wish to have them write the number correct out of the total number of items.

Reading Read the text. Then answer the question. Would you rather use a pen or a pencil to write with? I think pencils are better. You can erase mistakes with pencils. It’s harder to erase mistakes in pen ink. Pens can leak and get messy. Pens can also run out of ink. When that happens, you usually have to throw away the pen. I like to write with a freshly sharpened pencil. I can reuse a pencil if I keep sharpening it. 5. Do you agree with the main idea of this text? Tell why or why not.

Bees spread pollen to crops and plants such as apple trees and blueberry bushes. And let us not forget that bees make honey, another food we eat.

There are over 40,000 different kinds of rice. People eat rice because it gives them energy and makes them feel full. And it tastes good, too. People add vegetables, beans, or meat to their rice. People like rice because it stays fresh for a long time. Some foods have to be eaten quickly before they spoil. But dry white rice can stay good for decades. This makes it a great food to keep around. Rice feeds families around the world. It’s also easy to make. Maybe that’s why it’s been a popular food for so many years. 4.

There used to be many forest birds, but the snakes ate them. Now, nearly all birds are gone, and some species of birds are extinct. Because there are fewer birds to eat spiders, there are many more spiders. There are not enough birds to help spread seeds, so fewer new trees and plants grow in the forest. 5.

Flower blossoms form on the cacao trees’ trunks, which turn into football-shaped pods. Inside each pod are 20 to 40 seeds, or beans. It takes five to six months for the pods to change color from green to a ripe purple. That’s when the seeds are fully grown and ready to be cut out. Next, they are dried in the sun and turn a dark brown color. Then they’re sent to candy factories, crushed, and made into chocolate treats. 9.

Reading Read the text. Then answer the questions. A tsunami [soo-NAH-mee] is a gigantic sea wave. It forms when there is an undersea earthquake or when land under the sea is disturbed. Like other waves, a tsunami travels through the ocean until it hits land. A tsunami is very dangerous for people on the coast when it arrives because it can ruin things in its path. On land, a tsunami leads to floods that can carry away people, trees, cars, and houses. A flood caused by a tsunami ruins properties such as schools and businesses, making everything wet and full of germs. This destroys people’s lives because it takes a long time to repair the damage. 11. Is a tsunami a cause or a result? Or, is it both? Tell why you think so.

12. How do you think people would feel after they had lived through a tsunami?

Have you ever seen a potato bug? Many people are afraid of potato bugs because they look scary. They are big bugs that can grow up to 3 inches long. They have black stripes and thick legs. Their heads are huge, with big dark eyes. They also have big jaws they use to bite.

Many people eat foods that come from plants. Do you like any foods that come from plants? Fruits come from plants. If you like apples, bananas, or other fruits, then you like plant foods. Even some ice creams have plant flavors in them! Vanilla and chocolate are flavors that come from plants. Spices such as black pepper and cinnamon also come from plants.

Cow’s milk is a popular drink around the world. People also drink goat’s milk, camel’s milk, and sheep’s milk. You might be surprised to know that some milks don’t come from animals. Rice milk, coconut milk, and soy milk are made from plants.

Sun rays can be harmful to your body. But there are ways to be safe in the sun. To protect your eyes, you can wear sunglasses. A hat with a big brim, or edge, can protect your whole face. Wearing sunscreen on your skin can prevent a red sunburn. And an umbrella can shade you. 6. Write a title that tells the main idea of the text.

Read the text. Then answer the item. Many people like fruit juices. Vegetables can be used to make juices, too. The best vegetable juice is carrot juice because it tastes sweet. Cucumber, kale, and lettuce can also be juiced. Vegetable juice isn’t as good as fruit juice. But vegetable juice is very healthy. Sometimes, people blend vegetable juice with fruit juice. Vegetable juices can be different colors, such as green, orange, or red. The green juices look awful, but they taste good.

Would you rather use a pen or a pencil to write with? I think pencils are better. You can erase mistakes with pencils. It’s harder to erase mistakes in pen ink. Pens can leak and get messy. Pens can also run out of ink. When that happens, you usually have to throw away the pen. I like to write with a freshly sharpened pencil. I can reuse a pencil if I keep sharpening it. 5.

Bike safety is important. Wearing the right gear will help protect you when you ride your bike. A hard helmet with straps protects your head. Knee and elbow pads protect your knees and elbows from scrapes and bruises. Bicyclists should make sure their shoelaces are tied. They should not wear loose clothing that can get stuck in the bike’s tires. Bright clothes are good to wear because they are easily seen by drivers.

Donkeys are the most interesting animals. Male donkeys are called “jacks.” Females are called “jennets” or “jennies.” Donkeys eat grass, shrubs, and other plants. They are not beautiful animals. They live in groups, or herds, with other donkeys. Baby donkeys, or foals, are much cuter than baby zebras or baby horses. Donkeys usually like warm and dry places to live. 12.

How did people brush their teeth hundreds of years ago? Before toothbrushes, there were other ways to keep ones mouth clean. People chewed on fresh herbs, like rosemary and mint. These herbs smell amazing. People washed their mouths with vinegar or water. They used cloths to scrub their teeth clean. Using a cloth seems strange. Some people made toothpicks out of wood. I’d much rather have a toothbrush and toothpaste!

If you have to share a dessert with other people, cake is the best dessert you could choose. It wouldn’t be a good idea to share ice cream because it’s messy, and it might melt quickly. A pie isn’t a good dessert to share because it has to be eaten with ice cream. And cookies are too crumbly and small to share. Cake is fluffy and yummy. It looks like a huge sponge that is saying, “Eat me!” Any kind of cake is the best dessert to share. 6. Are there both opinions and facts in the text? Explain how you know.

Indira and Letty wanted to make a birthday card for their mom. Indira said, “Let’s gather all of the art supplies we have in the house.” She found scissors, markers, paper, glue, and glitter. Then she found Letty just sitting there. Letty hadn’t helped. “Let’s make the card now,” said Indira. She cut out a heart shape. Then she wrote a nice note on it. She asked Letty, “Don’t you want to help?” But Letty was taking a nap. When the card was done, both girls wrote their names on it. Later, they gave the card to their mom, and she loved it. She hugged them. Indira was glad her mom was happy. But she wanted to tell her mom that Letty didn’t help.

Jax is working on a school project. It’s about earthworms. He is going to speak in front of his whole class. While Jax is giving his speech, he will show the class photos of earthworms. The last time Jax gave a speech, he made some mistakes. But it was okay because his teacher told him how he could do better next time. During his last speech, Jax looked down at his feet instead of looking at his classmates. He mumbled instead of speaking clearly. Jax also forgot to create a poster. He really wants his speech about earthworms to be better.

Simeo’s family was driving to the beach. They got sandwiches at a deli. The lady at the deli started talking to Simeo’s mom. “Now, you all watch out for those big waves,” the woman said. “All beaches have waves,” Simeo thought. A little while later, the family was at the beach. They put a picnic blanket down. There were other families there, too. Simeo noticed that they had laid their blankets farther away from the water. “Do you think we should move our blanket?” he asked his dad. Before his dad answered, a huge wave came crashing down on the blanket. It was soaked, and all of the sandwiches washed away.

Some people wonder if animals have feelings like people do. I think they do. For example, elephants can cry and laugh. They also play with each other and with other animals. Elephants will become very sad if they are separated from their family members. I’ve even seen elephants hug each other with their trunks. But of course, elephants can’t tell us how they feel or what they are thinking, so no one knows for sure.

Read the text. Make a picture in your mind. Then answer the items. The day after the snowstorm, Pat and Sam went outside. The fence was covered in sparkling white snow. It looked like an enormous wall of sugar cubes surrounding the yard. Shiny, clear, pointy icicles hung from the roof of the shed. It was like the ground was made of frosty vanilla ice cream.

Have you ever taken a mud bath? It’s a bath made of mud. The warm, dark, slimy mud feels calming. To take a mud bath, you spread mud on your face and body, close your eyes, and relax.

13. Underline the words and phrases that helped you picture the yard.

14. What would you feel in the yard? What would you hear as you walked around it?

* But the mud in the picture looks how I pictured it would.

No. I was imagining a person in a bathtub filled with mud.

I’d feel cold air and snow. The icicles would feel slippery. I’d hear crunching or slushing beneath my shoes as I walked.

Nina likes hearing stories about all of the places her Grandpa has been. He sits in his rocking chair and tells her and her cousins about his exciting adventures. Once, his shoe got thrown over the side of a ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Another time, while traveling in Mongolia, he ate something without even knowing what it was! His many adventures have taken him around the world. Nina and her cousins love Grandpa’s stories, but not everyone does. Grandma thinks he should keep some of his more colorful stories to himself.

All plants need water to live, and most need it often. But cacti can survive for long periods of time without water. There are thousands of different kinds of cacti. They usually grow in a dry desert environment. Even though it doesn’t rain there often, cacti collect as much water as possible when it does rain. The roots spread out to do this. In fact, a cactus can store the water for months until it’s needed.

My name is Dwight. My brother, Cyrus, and I decorate our bedrooms differently. I hang movie posters on my white walls. His walls are painted green, and he keeps them bare. Yesterday, Cyrus got a new globe. He has lots of globes in his room. I don’t find them interesting. I have a shelf to organize all of my favorite movies.

Every part of Earth’s surface looks different. That’s because Earth has different landforms. Landforms are natural shapes or features of land. There are many kinds. Mountains are steep hills, or areas where the ground is higher than the area around it. A plain is an area of flat land with very few trees. A valley is flat, like a plain, but it lies between two hills or mountains. A plateau is a flat area of land that is on top of a mountain or hill. A canyon is a deep, narrow area. 14.

Bazul and his sister Lucy were curled up in their sleeping bags. They were trying to sleep. They were lying on the floor of their aunt’s attic. And they could hear the grown-ups chatting downstairs. All the noise was keeping them awake. Suddenly, Lucy shrieked and jumped out of her sleeping bag. “Look!” she shouted, pointing at the ground. To Bazul’s horror, he saw a huge bug with lots of legs. It was zigzagging across the floor. Now it crawled under Lucy’s sleeping bag! Bazul jumped up, too, in fear. They didn’t know what kind of bug it was. They went onto their aunt’s computer and looked up bug pictures online. Finally, they discovered that it’s called a house centipede. It’s different from the kind of centipede that lives outdoors.

Many people like to live near rivers because they can fish and boat. But other people are nervous about living there because rivers can flood. When it rains heavily or when a lot of snow melts, rivers can overflow. Most of the time, water rises only a few feet. But every once in a while, floodwaters rise higher than a house! Big or small, a flood can ruin furniture, photos, and other belongings. Living near a river can be fun, but it can be dangerous, too.

If someone asked you to think of water, what would you think of? You might think of something like the ocean or a bottle of water. Water is all around us, and we use it for many things. But what about invisible water? Invisible water is all around us, too. The puddles from a windy rainstorm dry up in the sun’s heat, even on a cool day. As wet clothes dry out, the water goes away. If you boil a pot of water for a long time, the water disappears. Where does this water go? It goes into the air.

At 8:00 a.m., Izzy’s alarm rang. “Oh no!” thought Izzy. She’d never catch the school bus in time. “I can help you!” a tiny voice sang. It was Izzy’s clock. “I’ll stop time for you, just this once!” it said cheerfully. Izzy was so shocked! She glanced at the clock as she hurriedly dressed. The time wasn’t changing!

Tyrese and Mar liked to eat lunch together on Saturdays. One day as they ate, they wondered what the sun tastes like. Tyrese said it looks like an orange so it probably tastes like one, too.

Her parents and all the people looked like tiny ants. She finally reached the top after three days of climbing!

Cora decided that she wants to spend more time reading. One reason she wants to read more is to cross off titles from her book list. She started the list in second grade. She also wants to read more because Mrs. Brooks, her teacher, says, “The more you read, the more you learn!” Cora loves to learn. Another reason is that Cora sees her mom and dad reading a lot and she wants to follow their example. But the biggest reason of all is that Cora loves her town’s library. It’s a really cool building with comfy sofas and chairs. Cora’s parents go there a lot, and if she reads more, she can go more often.

Lots of people are afraid of sharks, but people hurt sharks much more than sharks hurt people. About 100 million sharks are killed each year. People hunt sharks for their body parts. Their meat and fins are used for food. Sometimes, sharks are hurt by mistake—they can get caught in fishing gear used to catch other kinds of fish. Other times, sharks get hit by boats. People also hurt sharks with pollution. Pollution ruins a shark’s habitat. Many shark movies show sharks biting people. But most sharks don’t want to eat people, they just want to live in the ocean and eat fish.

There are lots of good reasons to eat vegetables. They help us stay healthy by giving us vitamins. Without vitamins, we’d probably get sick. Vegetables also give us energy. Energy helps us play sports, read books, and do everything else we like to do. Another reason to eat vegetables is that there are so many different kinds. If you don’t like one vegetable, you can choose another. Also, vegetables can be cooked or eaten in different ways. For example, if you like ranch dressing, you can put it on your vegetables. But if you’d rather have cheese, you can put melted cheese on your vegetables.

Rice is one of the most important foods on Earth. People have eaten rice for about 5,000 years. Today, it’s eaten on every continent except Antarctica. There are over 40,000 different kinds of rice. People eat rice because it gives them energy and makes them feel full. And it tastes good, too. People add vegetables, beans, or meat to their rice. People like rice because it stays fresh for a long time. Some foods have to be eaten quickly before they spoil. But dry white rice can stay good for decades. This makes it a great food to keep around. Rice feeds families around the world. It’s also easy to make. Maybe that’s why it’s been a popular food for so many years.

Many people don’t like bees, but bees make our lives better. One way they do that is by helping flowers grow. When a bee travels from flower to flower, pollen gets stuck to the bee. Pollen is what helps flowers grow. Many flowers such as dandelions are used as medicines or to heal. Bees spread pollen to crops and plants such as apple trees and blueberry bushes. And let us not forget that bees make honey, another food we eat. By helping plants grow, bees help take care of our environment and feed people.

Today, the United States flag has 50 stars for the 50 states. It had 48 stars for many years. Robert Heft was sure that Alaska and Hawaii would soon become states. He designed a new flag as a school project in 1958. It didn’t earn a good grade. But his teacher offered to raise it if Congress chose his flag design as the official flag. Robert sent his design to his congressman. It was selected from over 1,500 flag designs sent in. In 1960, the 50-star flag flew for the first time.

Today, people communicate with e-mails and texts. But we didn’t always have the tools to send messages instantly. The first “texting” machine was the printing press, invented in 1449. It was a large machine that printed words on paper. Later, in 1868, the typewriter was invented, allowing people to type words faster than writing them. In 1924, televisions gave messages through sound and pictures. Now we have computers and cellphones.

On our trip to Australia, we saw lots of interesting animals. At the park, we were surrounded by koalas. Most of them were sleeping even though it was daytime. They were all up in the trees, and some of them were on very high branches. Some munched on green leaves. The ones that were awake looked drowsy, with their tired eyes slowly starting to close and their sleepy heads leaning on the tree trunk.

Many people who enjoy red bell peppers might be surprised to find out more about them. Red peppers are actually a fruit, not a vegetable. And they’re the same fruit as green peppers, but they get more red as they get more ripe. Red peppers are sweeter than green ones. In Australia, a pepper’s called capsicum [CAP-suh-kuhm].

How to Make Mashed Potatoes It’s easy to make mashed potatoes. First, get the ingredients, which are boiled potatoes, chopped garlic, butter, cream, salt, and pepper. Second, mash the potatoes as much as you can. Next, combine the garlic and butter with the potatoes. Then mix in the cream and pepper. Finally, add a little salt. Enjoy eating them!

When did people start using banks?

Banks have been around for thousands of years. The earliest banks were in palaces and temples. People used them to store their valuable grain. Banks that held money began in Italy during the 1400s. People needed a safe place for their coins. How do banks work?

Banks are a safe place for people to keep their money. A bank stores money in a locked metal room. Banks earn money by giving people money as loans. When people pay back the money, they also pay the bank extra money called interest.

A flood is a pool or rush of water on land that’s usually dry. When a river or lake overflows and the water starts spreading to land, a flood is happening. Lots of rain or melting snow can make a river overflow. Floodwater can carry new soil to an area, which can be good for the plants or crops growing there. But floods can also be harmful to plants and crops. Engineers, or people who build and design things, create dams to control flooding. A dam is like a big fence that blocks water.

Without knowing it, people changed the ecosystem on the island of Guam. Brown tree snakes slipped in more than 60 years ago. They were hiding in the wheels of military planes and on cargo boats. Now there are more than two million brown tree snakes on Guam. The snakes have caused huge changes to the ecosystem. There used to be many forest birds, but the snakes ate them. Now, nearly all birds are gone, and some species of birds are extinct. Because there are fewer birds to eat spiders, there are many more spiders. There are not enough birds to help spread seeds, so fewer new trees and plants grow in the forest.

Chuck was going out of town and asked his friend Shawna to watch his pet, Bogie, while he’s gone. Shawna had never met Bogie before. She arrived at Chuck’s house early. Chuck explained that Bogie needs special care. They walked into Chuck’s living room, and Shawna saw a tall cage covered with cloth. “Oh, Bogie’s a bird,” she thought to herself. But when Chuck lifted the cloth, she was looking at a squirrel! Chuck said that Bogie was more than a pet—he was his “buddy.” Chuck told Shawna to spray Bogie with water twice a day because Bogie liked his fur to be wet. He also asked Shawna to take Bogie outside twice a day to play in a tree and feed him nuts. Then Chuck gave Bogie a hug, said goodbye, and left with his parents.

5. What do you think the people of Guam can do to fix their ecosystem?

Puffins are small seabirds that have black and white feathers and long bills that can change colors. In spring, their bills are bright orange. Puffins fly extremely fast. They spend most of their time out at sea, resting on the ocean waves. Puffins are carnivores, so they eat small fish and other meat. They can live up to 20 years.

Some living things grow up to look the same as when they’re born, only bigger. Other living things, such as frogs and butterflies, go through a life cycle that makes them look completely different when they’re adults. A frog starts as an egg and then turns into a tadpole that swims. It grows legs and later becomes a froglet. Finally, it becomes an adult frog. A butterfly starts as an egg and then turns into a caterpillar. It becomes a pupa, wrapped up, resting and growing. Finally, it becomes a butterfly.

4. Why did the author write this text? Tell why you think so.

7. Based on the text, write two ways that frogs and butterflies are alike.

* The text is full of facts.

The author wrote this to give us information about puffins.

During math, Mrs. Sozy asked us to sit in a group on the rug. She called on each student to solve a math problem. Sometimes the students talked about how to get the answer or went to the board to draw it. Later, during science, the class read silently. The students sat at their desks. Mrs. Sozy quietly walked around the room, stopping at each student’s desk to ask if he or she had any questions about the text.

Did you know that white and black clothes act differently in heat? Heat from the sun can make us feel hot, but we also have our own heat, coming off our own bodies. The color black soaks up heat from the sun and from us. The color white bounces heat away from itself. So, black clothes get hot from the sun, but they also take away our body heat, making us feel cooler. White clothes bounce the sun’s heat away, but they also bounce our body heat back to us, making us feel hotter.

In the African savanna, lions have a relationship with zebras because lions eat zebras. Leopards and hyenas also eat zebras, so they have a competition relationship with lions and each other. Lions try to scare off hyenas from prey so the hyenas can’t eat. Hyenas do the same to leopards. Even if they catch their prey, it can be stolen away.

“Get in the car, girls!” shouted Mom. “We’re going to get frozen yogurt!” I was super excited to check out the new frozen yogurt shop. I got to the car way before my sister, Sheila, who didn’t seem excited. When we got to the shop, I immediately filled a cup with mango frozen yogurt and loaded toppings on it. Sheila stared at all the flavors. It took her forever to choose one, and once she did, she let most of it melt before eating it!

On a dark, stormy night, an old man wandered into the kingdom of Selfridge. Most people called it “Selfish” because of the king. He never helped others but expected others to give him whatever he wanted. The old man wanted shelter. He found the palace and asked if he could use a bed for one night. The king said, “You want one of my beds? But all the beds are mine! No, I won’t share.” With a sudden flash of light, the old man’s walking stick started glowing. “I heard about you,” he said. “You are King Selfish Baby. That’s what your people call you.” “Oh, please don’t turn me into a little baby!” begged the king. There was a puff of smoke, and the old man was gone. And the king was still an adult. But everyone in his kingdom was now a baby, and the king had to take care of all of them!

Reading

Chocolate comes from cacao trees. But when cacao is harvested, many steps are needed to make that chocolate flavor we’re used to. Flower blossoms form on the cacao trees’ trunks, which turn into football-shaped pods. Inside each pod are 20 to 40 seeds, or beans. It takes five to six months for the pods to change color from green to a ripe purple. That’s when the seeds are fully grown and ready to be cut out. Next, they are dried in the sun and turn a dark brown color. Then they’re sent to candy factories, crushed, and made into chocolate treats.

A tsunami [soo-NAH-mee] is a gigantic sea wave. It forms when there is an undersea earthquake or when land under the sea is disturbed. Like other waves, a tsunami travels through the ocean until it hits land. A tsunami is very dangerous for people on the coast when it arrives because it can ruin things in its path. On land, a tsunami leads to floods that can carry away people, trees, cars, and houses. A flood caused by a tsunami ruins properties such as schools and businesses, making everything wet and full of germs. This destroys people’s lives because it takes a long time to repair the damage.

When Juana told her, Sue laughed and said, “Well, what I said wasn’t a big deal and we’re friends, so you should forgive me.” This hurt Juana’s feelings even more. She wanted Sue to say “sorry.” On Tuesday, Juana told Sue that she didn’t want to play with her at recess. But Sue kept throwing balls at her to get her to play. This made Juana feel annoyed. After school on Wednesday, Sue called Juana on the phone. She told Juana a joke, but she still didn’t say “sorry.”

Some animal relationships are unusual and surprising to people. At a zoo in the U.S., a small dog was brought into an area where a lion lived, and the two animals became fast friends. In Africa, a lioness took care of a baby antelope for days. Usually, lions hunt antelopes as prey. Other kinds of animal friendships have been caught on camera. A hippo and a baby elephant met at the same time every day to play together in a pond. An elephant lets a small dog crawl all over her, and they play together daily. At another zoo in the U.S, a chimpanzee cuddles with a tiger cub. There are also pictures of a fox and a cat who play together and cuddle. It is heartwarming to see animals of different species being friendly.

The Bihn family’s cat, Kiwi, ran away on Friday. Kiwi is a cat that lives indoors but is allowed to go outside, too. At first, the Bihns thought Kiwi had hopped over the fence and into the neighbor’s yard, but the neighbors hadn’t seen her. On Saturday, the Bihns hung fliers with a picture of Kiwi and their phone number around the neighborhood. A few days later, a lady called them because she thought Kiwi was at her house.

Viola needs to put in more effort if she wants to play the drums really well. She asked her dad for a drum set at the beginning of the school year, and he got her one. She seemed really interested in drums and said she wanted to be a good player. At first, she practiced almost every day, but then she practiced less. When she did practice, she didn’t use her instructional video or her lesson book. Then her drumstick broke, and she didn’t tell her dad for a whole month. After she got a new one, Viola still didn’t practice because she said doing it made her arms tired. 8. What is the most important thing the author is saying about Viola in this text?

It’s important to make exercise fun so we want to do more of it. Exercise is good for our health, and we feel better when we do it. One thing that helps make it fun is the variety, or how many choices there are. For example, if you don’t like using a jump rope or running, you can try using a bike or walking. If you want to exercise outside, you can swim or do yardwork. If you want to stay inside, you can use a yoga mat or do sit-ups. Some things that can make exercise more fun are listening to music, wearing fun exercise clothes, and exercising with friends. 5. Tell what it means when the author says we can make exercise fun.

* It means that we can enjoy the exercise that we do.

Viola does not practice enough to be a good player.

9. Do you think Viola’s actions show that she needs to put more effort into practicing the drums? Tell why you think so.

6. Did the author give reasons why we should make exercise fun? Did the author give ways to make exercise fun? Tell why you think so.

He must have super strength. Then last month, everyone got sick except for Dad. When I was looking at a family album, I saw a picture of Dad from before I was born. He was wearing a cape!

Fossils help us learn about extinct animals like dinosaurs. A fossil can show the shape of a leaf, bone, or bug, but it has no leaf, bone, or bug in it. It’s made of rock. An object starts to become a fossil when it gets buried in mud, sand, or crumbled rock. Next, the object breaks down and becomes weak. Then the rock slowly replaces the weak object. When the rock does this, it takes the object’s same shape. Then it gets hard and strong. It’s now a fossil.

A seed begins in healthy, moist soil. The seed grows underground roots. The roots grow a sprout above ground. The sprout grows leaves and becomes a plant. The plant grows bigger and may grow flowers or fruit.

Shadows cast gray pictures on the dirt path. Gwen skipped from side to side trying to find patches of sunshine. She knew she had almost reached the lemon grove when she heard butterflies singing and saw bees carrying yellow ribbons to their queen. But first she had to find her way through the spinach forest that stood ahead. She walked slowly through the darkness. She could barely see the branches that hung thick with spinach. She shuffled past black flowers that smelled of skunk. Gwen’s long hair felt heavy in the hot, sticky air. She heard black beetles whispering complaints to each other, but Gwen could not tell if they were about her or not. After what seemed like an eternity, she saw the sunshine of the lemon grove up ahead. She quickened her step and vowed to pluck the first cookie she saw off a tree as a reward for making it through the dark forest. 8. What details in the story make the setting seem magical?

Gilly and Otto are sea otters. Gilly lives in an aquarium, and Otto lives in the sea. They both eat shellfish and love to take naps on slippery rocks. Gilly can swim and dive as much as she wants, but she can’t go very far. She has lots of toys, and she even has a slide! She looks through a glass window at the fish, dolphins, and otters in the ocean. Gilly does not have to catch her food because aquarium workers feed her. Otto has to fight for his food every day. Whenever he sees a crab, he tries to catch it quickly. Otherwise, a seagull, a sea lion, or another otter will get it first! He doesn’t have any toys, but he does play in the ocean. He can swim anywhere he wants, and he seems to like swimming near kayakers.

The Patel family was on a road trip in their small car. They put pillows in the backseat to make the trip comfortable. After the family had been on the road for many hours, Mr. Patel asked his wife and the girls if they wanted to stop for cold drinks. Everyone said yes, so he said he’d stop at the next place he could. Another hour went by, though, and they still hadn’t found a place to stop. The girls played all the car games they could think of. Mrs. Patel was growing tired of reading her book. Another hour went by, and there was still no place to stop. The bright, hot sun was blazing through all the windows. The air was hot and stuffy. Then Mr. Patel heard the words he was dreading. “Dad, I need to go to the bathroom!” one daughter yelled. 5. What details in the story make the setting seem real?

It was Monday, March 5, 1860, and Helen and her sister Sara were going to town to see Mister Abraham Lincoln give a speech. As they ate their breakfast of roasted chicken, cornbread, sweet mashed yams, butter, and coffee, they chatted. “Sara,” said Helen, “we have very little butter. We must churn cream today or Father won’t have any for his supper.” Sara nodded. “Mister Abe Lincoln may be president one day,” said Sara, changing the subject. “We should wear our new hoop skirts to town.”

A barcode is a group of black bars, spaces, and numbers that are put on cereal boxes, clothing, toys, books, and more. A barcode is a special code or nickname for a single item. Stores have electronic machines that read the code and tell them information about the product, such as how many are left. Some stores allow customers to scan barcodes to check prices or pay for their goods.

I’m not sure where I’ll get it from, though. If I get it at a shelter, I’d be giving a home to a homeless animal. I’d also be helping the shelter because the adoption fee gives it much-needed money and makes room for other animals in need. On the other hand, animals at pet stores need homes, too. 6.

That’s what most of us Australians eat.” Dev knew Cleo wouldn’t like his lunch, but he loved it. “Isn’t it great that you can eat what you like, and I can too!” smiled Dev.

Deeta had a problem, and she wanted her friends’ opinions about what she should do about it. Her dad had given her twenty dollars to buy books from the book fair, but she didn’t find any books she wanted. While leaving the fair, she lost the money. “Tell your dad what happened, he’ll understand,” said Laura. “He’s probably lost money a time or two,” said Evan. “Maybe your dad will help you look for it when you tell him what happened,” said Lilah.

Long ago, we were curious about how many planets are in our solar system, what stars look like close-up, and many other things. Powerful telescopes have helped us see farther, and astronauts have flown into space. We’ve been able to answer some of the questions we were curious about, but we’re still exploring space.
