Hello Educators,

Recently, I asked a few members of our editorial team to tell

me what their favorite Evan-Moor resources were. I assumed

most of them would cite the books they had worked on

themselves. After all, it’s hard not to grow attached to the

books we work so closely with. (Many of our editors have

stories about long nights spent dreaming of the schwa

sound or the political divisions of South America.) But the

answers I received weren’t what I expected.

For instance, Camille Liscinsky, a senior writer who has

worked on two award-winning series, Word Family Stories

and Activities and Leveled Readers’ Theater, said that How

to Teach Art to Children was her favorite title.

“I’d head back to teaching just so I could use How to Teach

Art to Children,” explained Camille. “Each lesson is exactly

what an art lesson should be—written with learning in

mind, but allowing for individual creativity. I love this book. I

wish I had written it!”

“I love the new Center boxes,” added editor Leslie Sorg, who

has worked on popular titles such as Daily 6-Trait Writing

and Vocabulary Fundamentals.” They are carefully targeted

to standards, but the real benefit is that they’re so engaging.

The art on each center really pops and the activities are so

much fun for the students.”

Here at Evan-Moor, we work hard to produce materials that

are aligned with standards and best educational practices,

but that are also aligned with student interests and

motivations. After talking to the entire team, I was proud

of the overwhelming sentiment that the best resources we

produce don’t simply build skills, but build a curiosity about

the subjects in which those skills are taught.

As you browse this catalog, I hope you’ll agree with us that

one of the things that makes Evan-Moor materials so unique

is that yes, they help children learn, but they also help

children love learning.

Sincerely,

Bill Evans

The Great MigrationOne of the sights that draws visitors to Eastern Africa is the “Great Migration.” Visitors come to watch a megaherd of over 2 million grazing animals—mainly wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles—as they travel through the savanna.Each year, the animals migrate in a circular path from the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania to the Masai Mara of Kenya and back again. They follow the rains that bring green grasses. Carnivores such as lions, hyenas, cheetahs, and leopards follow the herds and prey on the weak and the young.

1 January–March: The megaherd is on the short-grass plains of the southern Serengeti. During this time, the wildebeest herds give birth to several hundred thousand calves.

2 April–May: The calves are strong enough to travel. The megaherd journeys northwest in search of food.

3 June:The herds must cross the crocodile-infested waters of the Grumeti River on their way north.

4 July–August: The herds move through the northern Serengeti toward the long-grass plains of the Masai Mara. They must cross another crocodile-filled river, the Mara.

5 September–October:The megaherd remains in the rich grasslands of the Mara until late October or early November.

6 November–December: The megaherd leaves the Mara and moves south toward the Serengeti. Here in the Serengeti Plains, the migration cycle begins once again.

DAY 1

Briefly review the meaning of topic from the previous

week. (A topic is what something is about.) Then read

the rule aloud and explain that one thing that makes

writing good is a fun topic. Guide students through

the activity. For example:

• Direct students to the first pair of pictures and

ask: Do you like milk? How about milk and cookies?

Which is more fun to have? Explain that the second

picture shows a girl enjoying herself. It looks

more fun. Have students write milk and cookies

on the line.

• Direct students to the second pair of pictures and

ask: Have you ever splashed in a rain puddle? Isn’t it

fun? Then point out the picture of the rain and

say: The picture of the rain is OK, but the picture of

the boy splashing in a rain puddle looks more fun!

Have students write splash on the line.

Read the rule aloud and explain that today, students

will learn more about choosing fun topics. Then guide

students through the activities. For example:

• Read aloud the sentence pairs for the first picture.

Then say: The first pair of sentences is just about

going to the park. The second pair of sentences tells

one exciting thing that happened at the park. Ask:

Which pair is better? (the second) Circle it.

• Read aloud the sentence pairs for the second

picture. Then say: The first pair of sentences is

about sitting next to a friend. It tells one good thing

about lunchtime. The second pair of sentences is

about eating lunch and dinner. It doesn’t tell anything

about the meals. Ask: Which is better? (the first

pair) Circle it.

Convention: Read the rule and the sentence aloud.

Then point out the spaces between the words in the

sentence. After students trace the sentence, have them

point to each space between the words.

DAY

1

Introduce the strategy to students. Then say: When good readers read, they look for the most important information in a passage in order to understand the author’s main message. They do not let themselves get distracted by information that is not related to the main topic. This week we will learn some ways to look for the most important information in a passage. Read the instructions at the top of the page aloud. Say: This is a silly passage about a make-believe animal called a zooraffa. Have students read the passage. When students have finished, ask: What do the numbers in the passage stand for? (numbered directions, or steps, for cleaning a zooraffa) Ask: Do you think the numbers were important for understanding the passage? (yes) Say: Sometimes it is a good idea to read the important information again to make sure you understand it well. Pair students for the strategy practice activity or complete it as a group. Then direct students to complete the skill practice activity. Review the answers together.

DAY

2

Remind students of the strategy. Say: When we determine the important information in a passage, we look for the information that helps us best understand what the author is trying to tell us. Point out the following three features on the page: the body text, the picture, and the caption. Say: Each of these features is important, but we need to know what information from each feature best helps us to understand what we are reading. Brainstorm with students what information each feature probably gives (The body text tells the story of the high jump, the picture shows who the jumpers are, and the caption tells the height of each jump.). Then read the instructions at the top of the page aloud. Have students read the passage. When students have finished, direct them to complete the strategy and skill practice activities. Review the answers together.

DAY

3

Remind students of the strategy. Say: When good readers look for important information in a passage, they often begin by skimming or scanning the text. What stands out when you look at the page? (the headings) Say: When I look at the headings, I know I’ll likely read about where a certain snake lives and how it eats. I can look for information in the passage that tells me more about those topics. Then read the instructions at the top of the page aloud. Have students read the passage. When students have finished, direct them to complete the strategy and skill practice activities. Review the answers together.

DAY

4

Remind students of the strategy. Say: When we read to determine important information, we need a good purpose for reading. Sometimes we can set a purpose by looking at the activities we are asked to do when we finish reading. Read aloud the directions for the strategy practice activity. Then say: When I read, I will look for the information about how peanut butter is made. Read the instructions at the top of the page aloud. Then have students read the passage. When students have finished, direct them to complete the strategy and skill practice activities.

DAY

5

Remind students of the strategy. Say: To determine important information, you need to know what you are reading. What does this page look like? (a page from a dictionary) Why do people use dictionaries? (to find out what words mean) Since this is a dictionary, the important information will likely be the meaning of different words. Read the instructions at the top of the page aloud. Then have students read the dictionary page. When students have finished, direct them to complete the strategy and skill practice activities. Review the answers together.

Determine Important InformationThis strategy allows students to find the most important information in a passage, usually information related to the main idea. By determining the important information, students can increase their comprehension by focusing on important ideas and details.

The Region of

Central America

Introducing the Map

Share with students the definition of a region. Explain that a group of

countries can be part of a region. Ask students to name the geographic

region that bridges the southern end of North America to South

America. The answer is the region of Central America.

Show students the map of Central America. Students should notice

that the geographic location of this region gives it its name. However,

explain to students that Central America is considered part of the North

American continent. Besides its geographic location, Central America is

linked to North America in other ways.

• The countries of Central America form a long isthmus that

connects southern North America to South America. The Isthmus

of Panama is a narrow strip of land that separates the Atlantic and

Pacific Oceans in Panama.

• The physical features of the region include many inland, rugged

mountains. Many of the mountains are active volcanoes.

Devastating earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and hurricanes strike

this region.

• Spanish is the official language of all the Central American

countries, except Belize. In Belize, English is the official language.

• Most of the people of Central America live in the highlands, where

they live on small farms.

• Central America has large plantations that produce about

10 percent of the world’s coffee and about 10 percent of the

world’s bananas.

• The Maya Indians were the dominant culture from about 400 B.C.

to about A.D. 900. Today, descendants of the Maya live in the

mountains of Central America.

All these factors help to group the countries into a region.

Introducing Vocabulary

Central America a region of seven countries between Mexico and

South America

isthmus narrow strip of land having water on each side and

connecting two larger bodies of land

region area of land or water with certain characteristics that make it

different from other areas

sea a body of salt water that is part of an ocean, yet is partially

enclosed by land

The Missing Ring

Anna slipped her mother’s ring onto her finger and watched the gems sparkle

in the sunlight that streamed through the open window.

“Anna, please hurry with the thread,” her mother called. “I need more blue

for the forget-me-nots.”

Anna took off the ring, set it back on the dresser, and hurried downstairs.

“Here’s the thread,” she said, admiring the blouse her mother was

embroidering. “That blouse is sure to win a prize at the fair.”

“Win or lose,” her mother said, “hand-sewing and embroidering are family

traditions. Your great-grandmother entered her first quilt at the fair fifty years ago.

Now, with machines to do the work, it seems foolish to do all this by hand. At the

same time, while I’m doing it, I remember my grandmother and my mother and

all of us talking and sewing together. I guess I’ll never stop sewing by hand.”

“Oh! Look at the time, Anna,” her mother continued. “You’d better be on

your way to soccer practice. Don’t you have a big game on Saturday?”

“Sure do,” said Anna. “If we win, we’ll be in the playoffs. Are you coming

to cheer us on?”

“I’ll be the loudest one there,” Mom called as Anna hurried out the door.

When Anna returned home from practice, her mother met her at the door.

“Anna, did you take my ring?” she asked. “I set it on the dresser so it wouldn’t

catch on the threads while I was sewing, but now it’s not there.”

2WEEK

DAY

1

Explain to students that this week they will learn about the Visualization strategy. Say: When good

readers read, they often visualize, or make pictures in their mind of, what they are reading.

Good readers look for words that describe what something looks like or what it does. Good

readers also change their mental picture as they read new details. Read the instructions at the top

of the page aloud. Then read the title and ask students what mental picture they get from it (e.g., a

picture of a dog talking like a human with its mouth). Say: Make sure you adjust your mental

picture as you read new details. Have students read the passage. When students have finished, pair

them for the strategy practice activity or complete it as a group. Allow volunteers to share their

responses. Then direct students to complete the skill practice activity. Review the answers together.

DAY

2

Remind students of the strategy. Explain that good readers often use good describing words

(adjectives) or good action words (verbs) from the passage to help them visualize. Tell students they

are going to read a story about a boy named Fabio. Then read aloud the instructions at the top of the

page. After students have finished reading the passage, direct them to complete the strategy practice

activity. Invite volunteers to share what words they circled in the passage. Record students’ responses

on the board. Then direct students to complete the skill practice activity. Review the answers together.

DAY

3

Remind students of the strategy. Explain that students will read about two seabirds—penguins and

puffins. Read aloud the instructions at the top of the page. Remind students to pay attention to good

descriptive words, such as names of colors. Then have students read the passage. When students

have finished, distribute crayons or colored pencils and direct them to complete the strategy practice

activity. Then direct students to complete the skill practice activity. Review the answers together.

DAY

4

Remind students of the strategy. Explain that good readers change their mental pictures as they read.

Read aloud the instructions at the top of the page. Then read the first paragraph aloud. Model using

the strategy: When I read the first two sentences, “fuzzy creature” made me think of a cat. But

when I read the last sentence, I knew the author was talking about puffins. I changed my mental

picture to be a little bird, not a kitten. Have students finish reading the passage. Then pair students

or act out the strategy practice activity as a group. Direct students to complete the skill practice

activity. Review the answers together.

DAY

5

Remind students of the strategy. Tell students they are going to read a funny story about different

animals and a mitten. Read aloud the instructions at the top of the page. Have students read the

passage. When students have finished, direct them to complete the activities. Review the answers

for the skill practice activity together.

VisualizationThis strategy helps students visualize, or create a mental picture of, what they are

reading. Students learn to identify good adjectives, nouns, and verbs to help them

“see” the details in a passage. Students also learn to adjust their mental images

as they read.

DAY 2

READ THE PASSAGE Visualize Fabio’s first two days at camp.

No Camp for Me!Fabio was new at summer camp, and he did not like it at all. In fact, he hated

every minute of it.

On his first day, he and the other campers swam in a lake. The bottom of the

lake felt like muddy slime creeping between Fabio’s toes. He dashed out of the

water when a fish nibbled at his knee.

Fabio’s second day started badly. The campers hiked through some woods.

Dry twigs scratched Fabio’s legs, and black bugs bit his arms. The stinky smell of

a skunk made his eyes water. Fabio walked behind the others. He wished he were

at home. Then a boy named Cody started talking to Fabio. It turned out that they

liked playing the same games. They made a deal to try out for the camp softball

team. Fabio thought the next day at camp would be fun.

STRATEGY PRACTICE Look back at the story. Circle four describing words thathelped you picture Fabio at camp.

Dad and the boys put hot dogs on the ends of the sticks and cooked them over the campfire. Then they cooked marshmallows over the fire. Everything tasted great!

After dinner the boys sat by the campfire. They sang songs and told funny jokes. Dad told a scary story. It was getting dark. The sky filled with stars and a big, bright moon. It was getting cold, too. “Boy, this campfire feels good,” said Hank. He moved closer to the fire to stay warm.

The boys could hear an owl hooting. They could hear something moving in the woods. “What was that?” asked Carlos.“I don’t know, but it sounds big,” said Hank as he moved closer to his dad.

“I think we should go to bed now,” said Carlos.“Me, too!” agreed Hank.The boys said good-night to Dad. They went into the tent and shut the flap. Then they crawled into their sleeping bags. “I want to go fishing when I wake up,” said Hank.

READ THE PASSAGE Visualize the work the kids do.

The flashlight’s beam lights up a frightened face. Small hands grab the fuzzy

creature. Then it is stowed in a box. Children work through the night to capture

baby puffins. The kids are part of the Puffin Patrol.

The kids live on an island off the coast of Iceland. In the spring, puffins roost on

the island’s cliffs. Each female lays one egg. By the middle of August, the baby

seabirds are ready to leave their nests. They know to head toward the ocean.

Lights from the night sky reflect on the sea. Most of the birds go toward those

lights. But some babies fly toward the lights of the town. They crash-land in yards,

parking lots, and streets.

Cats, dogs, and cars might harm the baby birds. So kids gather them up. In the

morning, they carry their boxes of puffins to the sea. The kids toss the birds high

into the air. The young seabirds glide on the wind and then land on the water. They

are safe at home.

STRATEGY PRACTICE With a partner, act out the finding and saving of baby puffins.

Ready to Roll!

Before you buckle on your first pair of in-line skates, gear up for safety.

Start with skates that fit. That will help you avoid ankle injuries. Put on the

socks you’ll wear when you skate. Kick your foot into the back of the skate boot.

Buckle the boot and stand up. Make sure your toes are not squashed together.

Make sure your heel doesn’t move up and down when you move.

Once you have skate boots that fit, buy safety gear. Buy wrist guards with

plastic plates to avoid wrist injuries. Get elbow and knee pads to protect your

skin from falls. A helmet is the most important piece of safety gear. Avoid head

injuries with a helmet that meets safety standards. Make sure your helmet is

padded. It should be snug, but comfortable.

After you gear up, find a safe place to skate. Learn to skate in a flat, paved

area. Stay away from traffic. Don’t skate down hills until you know how to stop.

Now that you know how to skate safely, buckle up. You’re ready to roll!

Safety gear keeps in-line skating fun!

In-Line Skating Safety


Get Fit, Stay Safe

In-line skaters can move like the wind.

They burn calories and lose body fat. They

build lower body muscles. They strengthen

their hearts and lungs. That makes in-line

skating a great way to get fit.

Getting fit is important. So is staying

safe. Skating hazards are everywhere.

Twigs, loose gravel, even patches of oil can

cause a skater to slip and fall. Safe skaters

go around hazards or take small steps over

them.

Rocks and other debris can get caught

in a skate’s wheels. Dirt can get into the

bearings that help them turn. Dirty wheels

and bearings should be cleaned. Splashing

through puddles can also cause problems.

Wheels and bearings should be dried off

to keep them in good shape. Clean, dry

wheels help skaters avoid falls.

The best way to avoid injury during a

fall is to wear safety gear. A padded helmet

protects the head from injury. Wrist

guards protect the wrists from scrapes,

sprains, and breaks. Strap-on pads protect

elbows and knees from cuts and bruises.

A good fitness skate begins with

5 minutes of slow skating to warm up.

It keeps going with 20 minutes of fast

skating. It ends with a slow 5-minute

cool-down. Move like the wind, get fit,

and stay safe with in-line skating.knee pads


h

wrist guard

elbow


What Goes Up, Comes Down

Every in-line skater falls. In fact, there’s even a name for the scrapes and cuts

skaters get: road rash. That’s why the first thing smart skaters learn is how to

fall. Like everything else to do with in-line skating, falling takes practice.

Practice falls should take place on grass.

Prepare to learn to fall by putting on safety equipment to protect your head,

knees, wrists, and elbows. A helmet, wrist guards, and elbow and knee pads

help keep away road rash as well as more serious injuries, like broken bones and

brain damage.

It takes several steps to fall without getting hurt. First, try to relax. Bend

forward at the waist with your arms down in front. Next, bend your knees and

touch your knee guards. Slide forward onto your protective equipment. Your

wrist guards will probably hit the ground first. Keep your fingers up and let the

plastic plates slide you forward onto your elbow and knee pads. Let your body

slide flat on the ground, keeping your head up to avoid scraping your face.

Stretch your arms out in front of you.

After you fall, push yourself up with your hands and get onto your knees.

Bring one knee up and place the skate firmly on the ground. Put both hands

above that knee, press down and stand slowly. Get your balance, and then get

ready to fall again. Now that you know how to come down safely, you’re ready

to be up and skating!

Smart skaters know how to fall without getting hurt.

Announcer: Welcome, boys and girls! Today’s episode of Buzz and Betty is entitled “The Mystery at Big Lake. ” But now, kids, it’s time to hear from our sponsor, No Holes Toothpaste! Singers: If you want no holes in your teethBrush on top and underneath.

Use No Holes Toothpaste. It’ll work for you! No Holes Toothpaste. It tastes good, too! Announcer: That’s right, folks. Mom and Pop and kids of all ages. No Holes Toothpaste helps fight cavities. Bring some home today! And tomorrow, as every Friday on The Adventures of Buzz and Betty, No Holes Toothpaste will have a clue for you. The clue will help you solve this week’s mystery. Remember, to solve the clue you need to have the Buzz and Betty decoder ring. You can get it by sending in two box tops of No Holes Toothpaste.

As we begin today’s story, Buzz and Betty are getting ready to join their friends at a picnic. It started out as just another ordinary day for them, when suddenly… Betty: Hello?

Mr. Green: (in a panic) Hello, Betty? I need you and Buzz to come down to the bank right away. I’ve just been robbed. The robber has gotten away! I need your help.

Mr. Kenley: Whoopsy daisy. Well, one of them had to be the first one out of the box, I guess.

Mrs. Buttons: It’s running out the door!

Mr. Kenley: Here, you keep an eye on the rest of them, and I’ll go catch uh … whichever one that was. Travis: Seeing Mr. Kenley race down the hall after that little puppy was quite a sight. Did I mention that it was the first day of school? Well, it was, and the hallways were crowded with students. Of course, a lot of Pennington students spend more time in the hallways than in the classrooms. It’s a real problem around here, especially with one particular group of eighth-graders — Brad, Hunter, Nicole, and Aaron. Yep, those four are a handful.

Brad: So wha’d’ya think, Hunter? You wanna just skip second period and jet down to Games Galore? I wanna check out the new … Hey! What the … ?

The sea is home to a lot of odd

creatures. Some look silly with mouths

shaped like beaks. Others look fierce

with long teeth as sharp as needles.

The sea horse is a strange sea

creature. Its name comes from the

shape of its head. Sea horses are weak

swimmers. They live among sea plants

like seaweed. Sea horses stay in one

place by curling their tails around the

plants.

Moray eels like to remain in one

place, too. These fish look like snakes.

They can hide their long bodies among

reefs and rocks. The rocks shield the

eels from danger. The moray eel waits

for its dinner to swim by. Then it opens

its wide mouth. It uses its sharp teeth

to grab its prey.

The moray always opens and closes

its mouth to breathe. Showing those

sharp teeth makes the fish look mean.

The ray is another strange fish. It

looks like a flat disk with wings. Most

rays have very long tails. Stingrays

have spines on their tails. The spines

can cause painful cuts.

The sea star is another sea animal

with spines. Most sea stars have five

arms. If an arm breaks off, another

grows back. Sea stars also have rows of

tube feet. They use these feet to creep

around the sea.

Sea snails do not swim or creep.

They glide on one flat foot! They move

around slowly and feed off dead plants

and animals.

People eat sea snails and other sea

creatures, like crab. People pay a lot of

money for these sweet meats. It seems

that sea life can be strange and tasty!

“Only YOU can prevent forest fi res!” Smokey the Bear has

been telling us to be careful with matches for many years. And it is still good advice. Forest fi res are dangerous. They can burn down homes, harm animals, and destroy trees.

But forest fi res are not all bad. In fact, ecologists have learned that fi res are a natural part of life in the forest. They know that fi re sometimes helps a forest stay healthy.

How does fi re help? As you know, a forest is an area where many trees grow. Over time some of the trees die. Branches fall to the ground. Leaves collect on the forest fl oor. This dead material is called litter. Fire can clear the litter away, leaving more space for the trees to grow. If the litter is not too deep, the fi re burns along the ground.

Fire in the Forest: Friend or Foe?

It stays low. It may scorch the trunks of large trees, but it cannot reach up into their branches. The burned litter also acts as fertilizer, giving nutrients to the trees.

Without fi res, too much litter may build up on the forest fl oor. It may become very deep and thick. A careless camper or a lightning strike may start a fi re. Now, the fi re fi ghters cannot stop it. The fi re is too big and too hot. The fi re blazes high into the treetops, killing thousands of trees.

But these dead trees are still very important. Many of them remain standing for years. They are called snags. Insects bore into the dead wood. Woodpeckers and other birds eat the insects. These birds also make nests in the dead trees. In fact, burned forests provide important habitat for a number of bird species.

Weekly Question

Why do flowers have different colors and scents?

Nine out of every ten plants on Earth have flowers. Flowers are beautiful to look at and to smell, but they are also important to the plant because they make seeds. Plants need seeds to reproduce, or make new plants.

The sizes, colors, and scents of flowers are all different. Scientists call these differences adaptations. Adaptations help plants grow and survive.

Big Idea 1 • Week 1

Living things have

adaptations that

help them survive in

their environment.

Week 1

Why do flowers have

different colors and scents?This week, students learn about plants’ adaptations. Since plants cannot

move, they have developed adaptations to enable them to reproduce.

Colors and scents are examples of these adaptations. Different animals

are attracted to different colors and scents. They create a symbiotic

relationship with flowering plants. Plants offer birds and insects food and

sometimes shelter, and the animals in turn help pollinate the plants.

Day OneVocabulary: adaptation,

reproduce

Materials: pictures of

regional flowers

Distribute page 9 and introduce the vocabulary. Have volunteers read the

introduction aloud. Then point out the pictures on the page and have

volunteers read the name of each flower. Ask: Have you ever seen any of

these flowers? What color were they? What did they smell like? Have

students complete the first two activities. For activity C, show students

pictures of local flowers and have them pick one to describe.

Day TwoVocabulary: pollen,

pollinates

Distribute page 10 and introduce the vocabulary. Then have volunteers

read the introduction aloud. Point out that the words pollen and pollinates

have related meanings and that knowing the word pollen can help them

remember pollinates. Then direct students to complete activities A and B.

For the oral activity, pair students or discuss possible answers as a group.

(e.g., Wind and water carry pollen; people pollinate plants that they want

to grow; etc.)

Day Three Distribute page 11 and have volunteers read the introduction aloud. Have

students name some of their favorite foods and describe how the foods

look or smell. (e.g., spicy, juicy, sweet, gooey, etc.) Say: Just like we do,

animals prefer different kinds of food. Then read the descriptions of the

plants and animals pictured on the page and have students complete the

activity. Review the answers together.

Day FourMaterials: pictures of

a rafflesia (optional)

Ask: Can you imagine a flower that stinks? Distribute page 12 and read

the introduction together. If you have them, show students pictures of

the rafflesia. Have students complete activity A. For activity B, say: The

rafflesia uses scent to attract insects, but some plants and animals use

scent to keep others away. If necessary, help students brainstorm ideas

before writing their responses. (e.g., skunk, stink bug, eucalyptus, etc.)

Day Five Tell students they will review everything they have learned about plants’

adaptations. Have them complete page 13. Go over the answers together.

Weather changes from day to day.

Watching the Weather• Review the kinds of words we use to describe weather

(it’s raining, the wind is blowing, it’s foggy, the sun is shining, it’s hot, etc.). Have students look out the classroom windows and describe the weather they see. Ask, “Is the weather different from what it was yesterday? How?”

• Read appropriate parts of Weather Everywhere by Denise Casey to expand students’ understanding of weather changes.

• Using page 26, students are to draw a picture of the kind of weather they see outside. (Repeat this activity throughout the year, selecting specific types of weather to record.)

Weather Calendar• Set up a weather calendar in your classroom. Using

the weather symbols on page 27, have students pin the appropriate symbol(s) to the calendar each day. Change the symbols during the day if the weather makes a big change. At the end of the month, discuss the changes that have occurred.

• After observing the changes in weather for several days, work with students to write a page for the class logbook.

Note: Reproduce these symbols to use on the weather calendar on page 24.

Moon

We see the moon at night.

The moon looks like it changes.

The moon goes around the Earth.

Its trip takes one month.

Some planets have morethan one moon.

Some planets don’thave any moons.

The Earth has one satellitecalled the moon.

Moons

• Generate interest in moons by asking students to answer ariddle about Earth’s moon. Give the clues one at a time,calling on a student to try to give an answer after each clue.Continue giving clues until you receive the answer “moon.”

Explain that most planets have one or more moons.These moons are also called satellites.

• Read one or more books such as The Moon by GailGibbons (Holiday House, 1997) or What the Moon IsLike by Franklyn M. Branley (HarperCollins, 1986).

• Ask students to recall information from the material read.Write about the moon on a class logbook page entitled“Moon.” Use copies of page 4 for students to write aboutthe moon for their individual logbooks.

“This object is part of the solar system.”“It is smaller than Earth.”“It is usually seen at night.”“It has holes called craters on its surface.”“It goes around the Earth.”“It seems to change shape on different nights.”“If you look up at night, you will probably see it.”

Materials

See advance preparation on page 42.

• Making the Model Arm instructions on page 45, reproduced for each pair of students

• overhead transparency of the Major Muscles of the Body on page 43

• Ping-Pong balls or other balls

• cardboard tubes

• long rubber bands

• paper clips

• pushpins

• masking tape

• tacky glue

• rulers

Steps to Follow

1. Show students the Major Muscles of the Body transparency. Point out the biceps and triceps muscles.

2. Tell students to let their right arm hang down and feel the biceps muscle on the front of the upper arm. Then bend this arm at the elbow to feel the biceps muscle contract.

3. Have students place their left hand on the triceps muscle on the back of the upper arm. Have them move their arm down toward the floor and feel the triceps muscle contract.

4. Emphasize that muscles work in pairs, one contracting as the other relaxes.

5. Pair students and distribute the model materials and record sheets. Each pair will need one ball, two cardboard tubes, two rubber bands, two paper clips, and one pushpin.

6. Explain to the class that they will be constructing a model arm that shows how the biceps and triceps muscles work together to move the arm. Hand out the Making the Model Arm instruction sheet. Using the model you made and the instruction sheet, show students how to construct their model arms.

7. Have students bend and straighten the model arm and notice what happens to the biceps and triceps muscles (rubber bands). (As the muscles contract, they shorten. As the muscles relax, they lengthen.) Have students record their observations on their record sheets.

8. Encourage students to experiment with pulling on the biceps and triceps rubber bands. What do they notice about the movement of the arm? (Students should note that the arm bent when they pulled on the biceps rubber band, and straightened when they pulled on the triceps rubber band.)

9. Students should conclude that this investigation shows that arm muscles work in pairs—as one muscle (rubber band) contracts, the other relaxes.

Follow-Up

Have students feel their thigh when bending and straightening their leg to observe how another set of muscles works in pairs.

The Messiest Room in Town/Spanish

La habitación más desordenada

del pueblo

Todo el mundo decía que la habitación de Beto era la más

desordenada de todo el pueblo. Por todas partes había juguetes y ropa

(sucia y limpia). Había pelos de animales, corazones de manzana podridos

y pedazos de pizza mohosos tirados en el piso y debajo de la cama. ¡Qué

desorden! Pero a Beto no le importaba nada. A él le gustaba su habitación

justo así.

La mamá de Beto dijo, “¿Cómo puede uno encontrar algo aquí?

Apuesto a que hay remolinos de polvo debajo de la cama.”

Su hermana dijo, “Remolinos no. Mas bien monstruos de polvo.

¿Y cómo aguantas el olor?”

Beto sólo sonrió y cerró la puerta. “¿Qué les importa mi habitación?”

pensó. “Si guardara las cosas, ya no podría encontrar nada. Además, no

huele tan mal.”

Una noche mientras Beto estaba leyendo en la cama, oyó un ruido.

La cama empezó a moverse. Alzó la vista y vió que algo salía de debajo

de la cama.

Name The Messiest Room in Town

Everyone said Herbert’s bedroom was the messiest room in

town. Everything was covered with toys and clothes (clean and dirty).

Pet hair, rotten apple cores, and moldy pizza scraps were on the floor

and under the bed. What a mess! Herbert didn’t care. He liked his

room just the way it was.

Herbert’s mother said, “How can you find anything? I’ll bet you

even have dust bunnies under your bed.”

His sister said, “Not dust bunnies, dust monsters. And how do

you stand the smell?”

Herbert just grinned and closed the door. “Why do they care

about my room?” he thought. “If I put things away, I won’t be able to

find anything. Besides, it doesn’t smell that bad in here.”

One night as Herbert was reading in bed, he heard a rumble.

Then his bed began to move. He looked up and saw something

coming out from under his bed.

Project Notes• This easy project helps children learn to work with watercolors. Watercolor is different from tempera paint because it is colored water instead of opaque paint. Children who have used tempera paint know they can easily correct a mistake by simply letting the paint dry and painting over it. This is not so with watercolor. It is also important to teach children how to get the paint set ready to use by priming it to soften the pigment. (See page 5.)

Steps to Follow1 Brainstorm and list different shapes. Ask children to name animals. Discuss the shapes that might be used to create them. A horse, for example, might be made from an oval body and head, rectangular neck and legs, and triangular hooves and ears. Draw some examples on the chalkboard.

2 Have each child choose an animal and experiment with several designs on a sheet of scrap paper. Encourage children to use many different shapes.

3 Draw the outline of the animal with black crayon on the art paper.

4 Paint the animal with the primed watercolors. Children may use many different colors. Instruct them to rinse the brush in water after each color change.

5 Set the painting aside to dry.

How many spelling words did you fi nd? ______

Sports, Sports, Sports Everyone in my family likes to play sports. My mom is the coach of my softball team. We are called the Eastside Earthquakes. We won our city championship last season.

My big brother has a skateboard. He takes it to Irvine Skateboard Park to practice. Sometimes my friends and I go to watch.

When we fi nish our homework, my sister and I like to play basketball outside. My dad put up a hoop in the driveway. Sometimes he plays, too. Each time you throw the ball into the basket, you get a point. The fi rst one to get twenty-one points wins.

Almost everybody I know is on some kind of sports team. Sports are not only fun, but also great exercise. What’s your favorite sport?

Palindrome Playby Delana Heidrich

Materials: chalkboard and chalk, paper, pencilsHere’s How!1. Explain to students that a palindrome is a number that reads the same, digit for digit,

backward and forward. For example, 34,243. 2. Show students how any number can be turned into a palindrome by adding it to its reverse. 532 + 235 767 Some numbers will require more than one step to be transformed into a palindrome. Just keep

adding the reverse to the sum until you end up with the palindrome. 3. Write a number on the chalkboard for students to turn into a

palindrome. Start with one-step palindromes and move on when students are ready.

Examples of PalindromesOne-step palindromes: 54, 112, 13, 27, 81, 425, 216Two-step palindromes: 76, 84, 139, 172, 93, 368, 107Three-step palindromes: 687, 538, 348, 1687More-than-three-step palindromes: 29,832 (6), 2158 (6)

VariationChallenge students to come up with numbers that require several steps to reach palindrome status.
