When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo

Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him
Robert
Do you know how much popcorn I had to make tonight I started popping half an hour before the show started Then I sold popcorn and drinks to people until 900 pm I couldnrsquot even steal five minutes to sit down let alone steal the cash box

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators

Jade shook his head and his shoulders slumped a little
ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

Rhodopis Common Core Passages
Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo

Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun

Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages

But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun

When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous

Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun

Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him

This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

People came out into the street ldquoWhat A wolfrdquo They ran out of town and up the hill but there was no wolf The people were angry with the boy They told him to only cry ldquowolfrdquo if the sheep were in real danger
But the next day was so boring that the boy ran to town again ldquoWolfrdquo he yelled
ldquoThis better not be a trickrdquo the people told him They ran all the way up the hill to see There were the sheep but there was no wolf The angry people again told the boy that what he did was wrong but as soon as they were gone he laughed and laughed
On the third day the boy started looking for something to do when he saw a big black shape coming toward him It was a wolf

I canrsquot believe that I have to stay with Aunt Megan Shersquos really nice but she always wants me to go to work with her Shersquos a ranger at a big state park called Fossil Butte She spends all day hiking up and down trails and showing people around My idea of a good time is to stay inside and play video games
Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators

ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun

Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special

ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo

Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

ldquoBoyrdquo he yelled ldquoTherersquos a boy in the forest Run for your livesrdquo All the wolves were afraid and ran away The young wolf laughed and laughed at how silly they looked The wolves were angry They told the young wolf to never cry ldquoboyrdquo unless a real boy had come The young wolf didnrsquot listen
The next day he was bored again ldquoHelp I saw a boy and he almost got merdquo he yelled The wolf pack thought it must be true so they ran off again When they found out the truth the wolf pack was very angry They said ldquoNever lie againrdquo

I canrsquot believe that I have to stay with Aunt Megan Shersquos really nice but she always wants me to go to work with her Shersquos a ranger at a big state park called Fossil Butte She spends all day hiking up and down trails and showing people around My idea of a good time is to stay inside and play video games
Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators
Irsquom trying to imagine an alligator climbing this mountain Then I see something through the trees that looks like rock on the ground with faint

ldquoWhat do you thinkrdquo Dad asked as he looked over Jadersquos shoulder
Jade looked at the schedule one more time to make sure ldquoI think that we should take the 855 train Then we can get off at 83rd Streetrdquo
Dad nodded ldquoGood job reading the schedule wersquoll get there in no time with you in charge Have you decided what to get for your brother once wersquore thererdquo
Jade shook his head and his shoulders slumped a little
ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo

Rhodopis Common Core Passages
Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean

The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

I canrsquot believe that I have to stay with Aunt Megan Shersquos really nice but she always wants me to go to work with her Shersquos a ranger at a big state park called Fossil Butte She spends all day hiking up and down trails and showing people around My idea of a good time is to stay inside and play video games
Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators
Irsquom trying to imagine an alligator climbing this mountain Then I see something through the trees that looks like rock on the ground with faint

ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

I canrsquot believe that I have to stay with Aunt Megan Shersquos really nice but she always wants me to go to work with her Shersquos a ranger at a big state park called Fossil Butte She spends all day hiking up and down trails and showing people around My idea of a good time is to stay inside and play video games
Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators
Irsquom trying to imagine an alligator climbing this mountain Then I see something through the trees that looks like rock on the ground with faint

ldquoWhat do you thinkrdquo Dad asked as he looked over Jadersquos shoulder

Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo

ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

I canrsquot believe that I have to stay with Aunt Megan Shersquos really nice but she always wants me to go to work with her Shersquos a ranger at a big state park called Fossil Butte She spends all day hiking up and down trails and showing people around My idea of a good time is to stay inside and play video games
Aunt Megan thinks it will be good for me to spend the whole day outside enjoying the fresh air What do I think I think that walking for miles and miles will be very boring
She wants me to find a fossil How do you find a fossil Aunt Megan says I need to investigate rocks very carefully Looking at rocks is not fun
But the sooner I find a fossil the sooner I can get back to my video games I keep my eyes open but all I see is regular old rocks
Wersquore pretty high up the mountain now heading into the trees Aunt Megan shows me jagged lines scratched into the trees where mountain lions have sharpened their claws I have to admit it would be cool to see a mountain lion I look around Aunt Megan is gone
ldquoCome on up hererdquo I breathe a big sigh of relief Aunt Megan is not a mountain lionrsquos dinner I scramble up toward the top of the mountain and toward Aunt Megan
Since a lot of paleontologists have already been here searching for fossils I doubt that I will ever find one I look down I canrsquot believe that this was once a huge lake full of fish and tropical plants and even alligators
Irsquom trying to imagine an alligator climbing this mountain Then I see something through the trees that looks like rock on the ground with faint

ldquoWhat do you thinkrdquo Dad asked as he looked over Jadersquos shoulder
Jade looked at the schedule one more time to make sure ldquoI think that we should take the 855 train Then we can get off at 83rd Streetrdquo
Dad nodded ldquoGood job reading the schedule wersquoll get there in no time with you in charge Have you decided what to get for your brother once wersquore thererdquo
Jade shook his head and his shoulders slumped a little
ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo
Dad smiled and said ldquoLetrsquos get in line I have a feeling that you found the perfect giftrdquo

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Jade shook his head and his shoulders slumped a little
ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo
Dad smiled and said ldquoLetrsquos get in line I have a feeling that you found the perfect giftrdquo

Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Jade shook his head and his shoulders slumped a little
ldquoCheer upmdashwersquoll find something thatrsquos just right for himrdquo Dad walked with Jade to the right train While they waited to get on they chatted about what they might find for Martinrsquos birthday
Once on the train the world zoomed by just like the birthday ideas zoomed through Jadersquos head
At the station on 83rd they got out and walked toward the sports shop ldquoMaybe we should get Martin a baseball hat or a sweatshirtrdquo Dad said ldquoHe would love some kind of baseball giftrdquo ldquoMayberdquo Jade said but he was thinking that he needed something better than a sweatshirt Dozens of sweatshirts hung on the rack and they all looked the same Jade wanted to get Martin something special
When they left the sports store Jade noticed a bus stop across the street He pulled out their bus schedule
ldquoLook Dad We could catch the 945 bus to Charleston Streetrdquo There were plenty of stores on Charleston Street but Jade was thinking of one store in particular

They boarded the bus rode for a few blocks and then got off at their stop Jade began walking toward a pet shop when his dad gently stopped him
ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo
ldquoNot even a fishrdquo
Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo
Jade walked forward as if a magnet were pulling him There sat a real author and a real baseball player together at the same table
Jade grabbed his dadrsquos arm ldquoDad we have to get it for Martinrdquo
Dad smiled and said ldquoLetrsquos get in line I have a feeling that you found the perfect giftrdquo

ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

ldquoIrsquom sorry Jade but Martin canrsquot have a pet Pets arenrsquot allowed in his apartment buildingrdquo

Dad shook his head and then said ldquoWe can get on the trolley and go to a bookstore Martin needs a break sometimes at college and he might like a fun bookrdquo Jade shrugged checked the schedule and found a trolley that would be going past soon
When they got to the store Jade held his breath What if they ran out of time before finding something for Martinrsquos birthday
He looked through the mysteries adventure stories and graphic novels but he couldnrsquot find anything that was just right He needed something Martin was interested in Something he would enjoy But also something different and one-of-a-kind
Out of the corner of his eye Jade noticed a group of people They looked excited and he wondered what could be so interesting at a bookstore
A lady who worked there was telling customers about a new book that they could have signed by the author ldquoIn factrdquo she told them ldquothis specific book is about baseball so both the author and a major league baseball player are here to sign copies of itrdquo

Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo

ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

At the festival everyone thought Yeh-Shen was beautifulmdashespecially the king who did not look at anyone else After the party Yeh-Shen worried that her stepmother would find out who she was so she ran all the way home She ran so fast that one of her golden shoes fell off When Yeh-Shenrsquos stepmother came home all she could talk about was the girl with the golden slipper and how the king was looking for her

Rhodopis Common Core Passages
Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

The pharaohrsquos servants spent many days searching throughout the kingdom While the pharaoh waited he walked up and down his long hallway wondering what kind of girl would come
At last a servant told him that they found the girl When she came to see him he held up the golden shoe and asked ldquoIs this yoursrdquo Rhodopis was too shy to speak but she nodded and showed him the other shoe
The servants were surprised that the pharaoh chose to marry Rhodopis She was not born in Egypt The pharaoh said ldquoHer heart is Egyptian and she belongs with usrdquo Everyone was happy and Rhodopis loved both Egypt and the pharaoh all her life

Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Rhodopis Common Core Passages
Rhodopis lived in Egypt but she was born far away in Greece Her hair was not smooth and black like most Egyptians instead it was curly and yellow She lived as a servant and she worked hard The other servant girls did not like Rhodopis because she was different They gave her more work to do
Each day when Rhodopis had finished pulling weeds from the garden or washing clothes in the river she put on her special golden shoes and went to a quiet place to practice dancing One day Rhodopis heard that the pharaoh of Egypt had invited everyone in the land to a celebration She decided to wear her golden shoes and she was very happy
The other servants did not like to see her happy so they gave her so much work that she could not go to the party They told her to make the bread wash the clothes sweep the floor cook the soup sew the torn clothes dust the rooms go to the market and feed the animals Then they all left for the party Rhodopis tried not to cry while she started on the long list of things to do
Rhodopis went to the riverbank to wash clothes She set her golden shoes on a rock and began to scrub As she was working a hawk swooped down and stole one shoe At the same time the pharaoh was watching his party He sighed He wanted to find just the right girl for his wife but so far no one had caught his attention Many of the girls were pretty but he wanted a sign to help him choose the right one

The pharaohrsquos servants spent many days searching throughout the kingdom While the pharaoh waited he walked up and down his long hallway wondering what kind of girl would come
At last a servant told him that they found the girl When she came to see him he held up the golden shoe and asked ldquoIs this yoursrdquo Rhodopis was too shy to speak but she nodded and showed him the other shoe
The servants were surprised that the pharaoh chose to marry Rhodopis She was not born in Egypt The pharaoh said ldquoHer heart is Egyptian and she belongs with usrdquo Everyone was happy and Rhodopis loved both Egypt and the pharaoh all her life

A Movie Mystery Common Core Passages
Main Event Movies is a small theater in a small town But one night the owner Mr Hardy found himself in the middle of a story more exciting than any movie Somehow during the show someone stole the cash box from his office The box had all the money in it that he had collected that week He had to get it back but how could he find the thief Only three people could have known about the cash box First of all Mr Hardy interviewed Steve Starr who sells tickets
Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him
Robert

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Just then a hawk dove from the sky dropped a golden shoe in the pharaohrsquos lap and flew off The pharaoh picked up the shoe and said ldquoThis was no accidentrdquo Then he stood and called his helpers to him ldquoSomewhere in Egypt is a girl who fits this shoerdquo he told them ldquoWhoever she is I will bring her here and make her my wiferdquo
The pharaohrsquos servants spent many days searching throughout the kingdom While the pharaoh waited he walked up and down his long hallway wondering what kind of girl would come
At last a servant told him that they found the girl When she came to see him he held up the golden shoe and asked ldquoIs this yoursrdquo Rhodopis was too shy to speak but she nodded and showed him the other shoe
The servants were surprised that the pharaoh chose to marry Rhodopis She was not born in Egypt The pharaoh said ldquoHer heart is Egyptian and she belongs with usrdquo Everyone was happy and Rhodopis loved both Egypt and the pharaoh all her life

A Movie Mystery Common Core Passages
Main Event Movies is a small theater in a small town But one night the owner Mr Hardy found himself in the middle of a story more exciting than any movie Somehow during the show someone stole the cash box from his office The box had all the money in it that he had collected that week He had to get it back but how could he find the thief Only three people could have known about the cash box First of all Mr Hardy interviewed Steve Starr who sells tickets
Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him
Robert
Do you know how much popcorn I had to make tonight I started popping half an hour before the show started Then I sold popcorn and drinks to people until 900 pm I couldnrsquot even steal five minutes to sit down let alone steal the cash box

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

A Movie Mystery Common Core Passages
Main Event Movies is a small theater in a small town But one night the owner Mr Hardy found himself in the middle of a story more exciting than any movie Somehow during the show someone stole the cash box from his office The box had all the money in it that he had collected that week He had to get it back but how could he find the thief Only three people could have known about the cash box First of all Mr Hardy interviewed Steve Starr who sells tickets
Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

A Movie Mystery Common Core Passages
Main Event Movies is a small theater in a small town But one night the owner Mr Hardy found himself in the middle of a story more exciting than any movie Somehow during the show someone stole the cash box from his office The box had all the money in it that he had collected that week He had to get it back but how could he find the thief Only three people could have known about the cash box First of all Mr Hardy interviewed Steve Starr who sells tickets
Steve
I was taking tickets from the time that we opened at 630 pm until the show started an hour later Then I had to clean up for half an hour starting at 900 pm I was so busy all night it couldnrsquot have been me
Mr Hardy ran a hand through his hair It sounded to him like Steve didnrsquot have time to take anything He wrote the time down in a notebook and then went to ask the lady who was in charge of the movie projector Jenny Jones
Jenny
I was running the projector I started at 645 pm and I didnrsquot finish up until 915 pm Irsquom afraid that yoursquoll have to look somewhere else for the thief
Mr Hardy scratched his nose Jenny sounded too busy to have taken the box Maybe the thief was suspect number three Robert Roberts Mr Hardy went to ask him
Robert
Do you know how much popcorn I had to make tonight I started popping half an hour before the show started Then I sold popcorn and drinks to people until 900 pm I couldnrsquot even steal five minutes to sit down let alone steal the cash box

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked down at his colorful shirt and said sarcastically ldquoOh yeah Maybe I should enter myself in the art contestrdquo ldquoThatrsquos a great ideardquo Kurt said ldquoWould you mind if I make a shirt like yoursrdquo
Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Mr Hardy looked at the notes in his notebook It certainly was a mystery
How could he figure out who the thief was He needed a way to see who was busy during the movie and who wasnrsquot He thought for a minute and then drew in his notebook
This helped but Mr Hardy needed to see the information in a different way so that he could see if there was one person who was not busy during the movie Next he created this in his notebook
Which person is the only one who could have had time to steal the cash box out of Mr Hardyrsquos office
Once Mr Hardy put the times into a chart he knew that Steve was the only person who could possibly be the thief Even though Steve was busy right before the movie and right after it he wasnrsquot busy during the actual movie Thatrsquos when he must have slipped into Mr Hardyrsquos office and taken the box After Mr Hardy showed the evidence to Steve the ticket-taker confessed and gave the box backmdashwith all the money

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The Rogue Ring Common Core Passages
Saturday afternoon Kate met Josh on the stairs of their apartment building as usual But unlike most Saturdays today they had something to talk about besides baseball Kate talked fast as she told Josh how Tony a boy from her class had stolen the teacherrsquos wedding ring earlier that day
ldquoMaybe she just lost itrdquo Josh suggested
ldquoIt would be really strange for Mrs Garcia to lose her ringrdquo Kate said to Josh ldquoShe wears it all the time Irsquove never seen her without it at schoolrdquo
ldquoWhat did she tell you about itrdquo Josh asked while he stood up and started kicking at the bottom stair ldquoDid she blame Tonyrdquo
ldquoWell she didnrsquot say he stole it But she did tell me that Tony had been at her house early this morning to collect money for the newspaper Hersquos in our class but he also lives near her He had to go inside and wait because her hands were covered with dough when she answered the door and she didnrsquot want to get her purse all dirtyrdquo
ldquoWhat Why would she answer the door with dough all over her handsrdquo
ldquoShe was in the middle of kneading bread dough and it was all over the counter So Tony came into the kitchen with her and waited while she washed her hands and got the moneyrdquo
Josh started pacing back and forth and then asked ldquoAnd you think thatrsquos when he took her ringrdquo

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

ldquoIt had to be Like I said she almost never takes it off but she had set it on the counter while she was baking After she set aside the pan of dough to rise she washed up and then she couldnrsquot find her ring anywhere It looks like Tony is a thief which is really too badrdquo
Josh kicked at the step with his foot again and then he put his hands in his pockets ldquoIt just doesnrsquot seem like Tonyrdquo he sighed
ldquoBut itrsquos got to be himrdquo Kate replied ldquoNo one else was in her house the whole day so who else could have taken itrdquo
Josh stared at the wall for a minute before a grin spread slowly across his face ldquoLetrsquos go call Mrs Garciardquo he told Kate ldquoTony is innocent and I know where the ring isrdquo
Where is the ring and what made Josh so sure that Tony didnrsquot take it
Josh realized that there was another possibility for where Mrs Garciarsquos ring went It wasnrsquot stolenmdashit was hiding When Mrs Garcia set her ring down on the counter it was near the dough In her haste to help Tony she didnrsquot realize that it got mixed into the loaf of bread Fortunately Kate and Josh called her just before the pan went into the oven

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The MolaGrade 6 Story 2
Diego dipped the tip of his paintbrush into bright red paint and made a long smooth line across the paper to paint the tail feathers of a bird
ldquoHey look at Diegorsquos parrotrdquo Mary said pointing to his paper
Diego looked up and saw that many of his classmates were watching him and his cheeks turned as red as the parrot in his painting
He was new at school and although he wanted to make friends so much attention made him nervous
ldquoYour painting is much better than minerdquo Mary said as she looked sadly at the green and purple mess on her paper ldquoI bet yoursquore going to win the art contest this yearrdquo
Diego glanced across the room at Thomas the boy who had won the art contest for the last two years
Thomas looked angry and Diego felt sick to his stomach knowing that he was the reason why he knew Thomas wanted to win the contest again and that Thomas had heard Maryrsquos prediction ldquoYour parrot looks like itrsquos made from lots of different piecesrdquo Kurt said ldquoHow did you think of painting it that wayrdquo Diego looked at the crowd of kids around him and then glanced over at Thomas again before answering
ldquoItrsquos called a mola and itrsquos from Panama Except there they sew pieces of cloth together to make pictures on clothes and pillows and stuff My

grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked down at his colorful shirt and said sarcastically ldquoOh yeah Maybe I should enter myself in the art contestrdquo ldquoThatrsquos a great ideardquo Kurt said ldquoWould you mind if I make a shirt like yoursrdquo
Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

The Mola Common Core Passages
grandma has a parrot like this on a dress so I didnrsquot really think of it myselfrdquo ldquoThen maybe it shouldnrsquot go in the art contestrdquo Thomas said loudly
No one paid any attention to Thomas because they were busy asking Diego to show them how to paint mola designs
Diego nervously explained that there wasnrsquot enough time before the end of class Really he was hoping that if he didnrsquot make a big deal about his art Thomas wouldnrsquot be angry with him
When the teacher told everyone to clean up Diego saw that Thomasrsquos fist was curled so tightly around his paintbrush that his knuckles had turned white Diego worried that the paintbrush would snap in half any second but most of all he worried about what Thomas would do to him after class
Diego removed his painting smock in a hurry and stuffed it into his bag then grabbed his tray and brushes and rushed to the sink to wash them
He dodged the other students so that he could clean up and get out of the classroom as fast as possible
ldquoHey Diegordquo Mary called He turned to lookmdashand crash Colors flew through the airmdashred green blue yellowmdashand Diego found himself facedown on the floor with his cheek in a puddle of paint
As he stood his heart beat faster Thomas was standing in front of him his white t-shirt splattered with paint and his hands balled up in fists ldquoI hellip I helliprdquo Diego began not knowing what to say and he ducked his head down towards his chestThomas took a step toward Diego but before Diego could find out what he was planning to do Kurt said ldquoWow Thomas look at your shirtmdashitrsquos awesomerdquo ldquoYeah itrsquos kind of like you have your own molardquo Mary added with a laugh

Thomas looked surprised and he stepped back a little unclenching his fists
Mary agreed ldquoI canrsquot think of a better way to show that wersquore artistsrdquo
Kurt looked at Diego and nodded slightly Soon Thomas left with a group of students who were all talking about which clothes their parents would let them paint Diego sighed with relief and went to get some paper towels to wipe the paint off the floor ldquoCan I help you with thatrdquo Kurt asked ldquoThanksrdquo Diego told him ldquoNo problemrdquo said Kurt Diego looked toward the door to make sure that Thomas was really gone and then said ldquoNo really Thanksrdquo Kurt smiled and held out his hand for a paper towel

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Reduce Reuse Recycle Common Core Passages
No one likes to see garbage on the ground No one likes to see garbage filling up oceans and landfills either Therersquos a lot you can do to help keep the earth clean
Reduce
The best way to keep garbage from piling up is to limit how much you make Think about how often you throw a box or wrapper away Buy snacks that come in bulk instead of little snack bags Help plant a garden so your family can eat fresh unpackaged foods When you use less packaging you reduce the garbage you create
Reuse
Need to buy something new Try reusing what you have instead Learn to sew and turn your old clothes into bags or toys Save your plastic food containers for storing leftovers Or decorate them Then you can use them for holding toys or pens and pencils Anything you do to keep your stuff out of the garbage will help the earth
Recycle
Paper plastic bags bottles and other items can be made into new stuff Save your recyclables and turn them in to your cityrsquos recycling center You can even earn money by recycling soda cans and plastic bottles
You can make a big difference by practicing the three Rs regularly

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

You and Your Blood Common Core Passages
Can you imagine carrying a gallon of milk everywhere you go That would be heavy But yoursquore stronger than you think because you carry about that much blood all the time You canrsquot see your blood but itrsquos constantly flowing inside you Blood travels around your body delivering things you need to stay alive
So how does blood travel Your heart makes it happen First it pumps blood through your lungs where the blood picks up oxygen from the air you breathe Then it pumps the blood around your body so the oxygen can be delivered to your cells
As it travels your blood also delivers nutrients to every cell in your body Nutrients are the good things you get from food that help your body grow
Blood has another important job of collecting waste that your cells donrsquot need any more One type of waste that blood collects is a gas called carbon dioxide Once your blood has traveled all around your body it returns to your lungs carrying carbon dioxide You get rid of the carbon dioxide when you breathe out then your blood collects new oxygen to take around your body again Your blood works hard to keep you alive

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Your Pulse Common Core Passages
Think about a time when you were exercising a lot or maybe a time when you were scared Could you feel your heart beating If you could you felt your pulse Your heart pumps to move blood filled with oxygen around your body When you are working hard your cells use a lot of oxygen Your blood needs to move faster so that it can deliver more oxygen to your cells So your heart pumps harder and faster
But when you are sleeping your heart pumps slowly Thatrsquos because you arenrsquot using a lot of energy so your heart doesnrsquot need to work as hard
You can feel your pulse to tell how hard your heart is working Hold two fingers of one hand to your other wrist just below your thumb You should be able to feel the blood moving through your arm as your heart pumps To check your pulse rate count how many heartbeats you feel in one minute A normal rate varies depending on your age but ninety beats in one minute is average How fast is your heart beating right now

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Archaeology Common Core Passages
Do you like to get dirty Do you like to solve mysteries What about going camping If you like all of these things as well as the chance to have your work become famous in a museum then you might want to consider becoming an archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who studies the past Archaeologists find and study all of the things that people left behind things called artifacts Artifacts can be anything such as old tools dishes toys even bones Archaeologists use them to put together the story of what life was like a long time ago Usually artifacts arenrsquot just lying around so archaeologists often have to dig for them Sometimes they dig with a shovel sometimes they brush dirt away with a paintbrush Archaeologists use many different tools to make sure that they donrsquot damage anything as they search for artifacts If they find a broken artifact they spend a lot of time putting it back together
Artifacts are precious because they tell archaeologists a lot about ancient people Some artifacts are put in museums so that when we visit them we can learn about the past too

These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Ang Imagine Learning ay gumagamit ng mga video kuwento laro at mga recording upang matuon ang mga mag-aaral Unti-unti matututo ang inyong anak ng mga mahahalagang salita upang makilahok sa mga pag-uusap sa silid-aralan tungkol sa agham matematika at kasaysayan Maglalaro siya ng mga laro upang matulungang matandaan ang mga bagong salitang pang bokabularyong ito Magkakaroon sila ng maraming mga pagkakataon upang makinig sa matatas na tagapagsalita ng Ingles habang nagsasanay sa pagbigkas at pagpapahayag Bukod pa dito mapapagbuti ng inyong anak ang kakayahang magbasa ng mga kuwento at artikulo sa Ingles Ang pag-intindi ng inyong anak ay uunlad habang natututunan niya ang kahulugan ng mga bagong salita at sagot sa mga tanong tungkol sa bawat kuwento at artikulo
Maaari kayong sumali sa pag-aaral na ito sa pamamagitan ng mga printout na maiuuwi at ang kada ikatlong buwang pag-uulat na iuuwi ng inyong anak Narito ang ilang mga paraan na matutulungan ninyo sila na matuto sa tahanan
bull Pagbalik-aralan ang anumang mga kuwento na inuuwi sa tahanan Sabihin sa inyong anak na basahin ang mga ito sa inyo
bull Kung mag-uuwi ang inyong anak ng mga salitang nakasulat sa card gupitin ang mga ito at tulungan siyang bumilis sa pagkilala sa bawat salita
bull Habang sumusulong ang inyong anak sa mas mahirap na mga kuwento isusulat niya ang mga mahahalagang ideya sa chart magsusulat ng buod at isusulat kung paano nakakaugnay ang kuwento sa personal na mga karanasan Sabihin sa inyong anak na ipaliwanag ang kanyang isinulat
Inaasahan ko ang magandang taon ng pag-aaral para sa inyong anak Umaasa ako na makikilahok kayo sa kasabikan nila habang nagiging mas matatas sa pagsasalita ng Ingles Hinihikayat naming ang inyong interes sa tagumpay ng inyong anak

Underwater Dig Common Core Passages
Not all archaeologists work on land Some archaeologists search for clues to our past under the water
These archaeologists use special tools to do their work Scuba gear helps them to stay underwater for a long time because it holds air for them to breathe Sonar helps archaeologists know where to look It sends sound waves underwater so they can see what an object is by its shape
Sunken ships are the most common things archaeologists look for underwater No archaeologists arenrsquot searching for treasure chests and pirate gold although sometimes they find them Instead they are looking for clues about who was on the ship and why it sank
Right now archaeologists are searching for four hundred ships that sank off the coast of Vietnam during a battle more than seven hundred years ago If underwater archaeologists find these ships they will stay busy for a long time

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

An Artistrsquos Memoir Common Core Passages
Lexilereg 970L 181 words
When I was really young my mom used to sew dolls and stuffed animals to earn extra money I would often sit on the sewing room floor next to her To entertain myself I would pick up scraps of fabric and ribbon and sew my own creations My mom always made sure I had plenty of materials to use
I would make whatever I could imagine but my favorite things to make were puppets I made some of them using cloth and extra buttons Sometimes I would draw a character on a piece of paper cut it out and then glue it on a stick Other times I would fold a stiff piece of paper in half draw the puppetrsquos front on one side and then draw its back on the other side Then it could stand on its own
Now that Irsquom a professional artist I use my imagination to make my puppets on the computer through digital illustration and animation Although I canrsquot hold these puppets by animating them I can make them move and talk on their own

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

Biography of an Artist Common Core Passages
When yoursquore a kid is it possible to know what yoursquore going to be when you grow up For Maryn Roos it was From the time she was little she knew that she would be an artist She was always imagining characters and creating them out of fabric scraps from her momrsquos craft room But there are many different paths an artist can take and Maryn wanted to figure out which one was right for her
She first thought she would study fine art But as she looked at the different typesmdashsuch as painting sculpture and printmakingmdashshe wasnrsquot interested in doing them for her career
Next she looked into film animation She visited the Disney Animation Studios in California and spoke with a head animator She realized that film animators often work for a long time animating a character that someone else created Maryn liked animation but she wanted to create her own characters
Maryn knew that illustrators create art for books magazines and games and she realized that was the kind of art she wanted to create So she studied illustration in college and since then she has illustrated many childrenrsquos books and software activities that include the characters she imagines
Today Maryn creates computer activities to help kids learn English Shersquos found the perfect combination of work for her as she helps design characters draws them and brings them to life with animation

歷史的會話孩子們可透過遊戲的過程加深對這些常用新單字的印象在
練習發音及表達時孩子們將有許多機會聆聽流暢的英語交談除此之
外孩子們更可發展閱讀英語故事及文章的能力在閱讀及回答問題的過
程中孩子可學習到單字的意義並提升其理解能力 您可以透過孩子帶回家中的列印文件及成績單一同參與這項學習冒
險之旅以下是您可以在家中幫助孩子學習的方式
一同複習孩子帶回家的故事要求孩子讀故事給您聽 如果孩子帶回家的是單字卡請將它們裁剪成小張記憶卡幫助孩子能更快速地記住這些單字
當孩子學習較困難的故事時可讓他們在圖表上記下重點寫出摘要以及寫下故事及個人經驗相關的內容並要求孩子說明其內容
我們希望您的孩子在這一年中能有愉快的學習經驗也希望您能親身
體驗這個讓人期待的過程見證您孩子的英語會話能力更上一層樓您對

Ang pag-aaral ng Ingles ay isang nakakapanabik at nakakapagbigay-kasiyahan na karanasan Sa taon na ito may pagkakataon ang inyong anak upang magsimulang matuto ng Ingles gamit ang mga computer Gagamit ang aming klase ng isang programa na tinatawag na Imagine Learning
Ang Imagine Learning ay gumagamit ng mga video kuwento laro at mga recording upang matuon ang mga mag-aaral Unti-unti matututo ang inyong anak ng mga mahahalagang salita upang makilahok sa mga pag-uusap sa silid-aralan tungkol sa agham matematika at kasaysayan Maglalaro siya ng mga laro upang matulungang matandaan ang mga bagong salitang pang bokabularyong ito Magkakaroon sila ng maraming mga pagkakataon upang makinig sa matatas na tagapagsalita ng Ingles habang nagsasanay sa pagbigkas at pagpapahayag Bukod pa dito mapapagbuti ng inyong anak ang kakayahang magbasa ng mga kuwento at artikulo sa Ingles Ang pag-intindi ng inyong anak ay uunlad habang natututunan niya ang kahulugan ng mga bagong salita at sagot sa mga tanong tungkol sa bawat kuwento at artikulo
Maaari kayong sumali sa pag-aaral na ito sa pamamagitan ng mga printout na maiuuwi at ang kada ikatlong buwang pag-uulat na iuuwi ng inyong anak Narito ang ilang mga paraan na matutulungan ninyo sila na matuto sa tahanan
bull Pagbalik-aralan ang anumang mga kuwento na inuuwi sa tahanan Sabihin sa inyong anak na basahin ang mga ito sa inyo
bull Kung mag-uuwi ang inyong anak ng mga salitang nakasulat sa card gupitin ang mga ito at tulungan siyang bumilis sa pagkilala sa bawat salita
bull Habang sumusulong ang inyong anak sa mas mahirap na mga kuwento isusulat niya ang mga mahahalagang ideya sa chart magsusulat ng buod at isusulat kung paano nakakaugnay ang kuwento sa personal na mga karanasan Sabihin sa inyong anak na ipaliwanag ang kanyang isinulat
Inaasahan ko ang magandang taon ng pag-aaral para sa inyong anak Umaasa ako na makikilahok kayo sa kasabikan nila habang nagiging mas matatas sa pagsasalita ng Ingles Hinihikayat naming ang inyong interes sa tagumpay ng inyong anak

Ang Imagine Learning ay gumagamit ng mga video kuwento laro at mga recording upang matuon ang mga mag-aaral Unti-unti matututo ang inyong anak ng mga mahahalagang salita upang makilahok sa mga pag-uusap sa silid-aralan tungkol sa agham matematika at kasaysayan Maglalaro siya ng mga laro upang matulungang matandaan ang mga bagong salitang pang bokabularyong ito Magkakaroon sila ng maraming mga pagkakataon upang makinig sa matatas na tagapagsalita ng Ingles habang nagsasanay sa pagbigkas at pagpapahayag Bukod pa dito mapapagbuti ng inyong anak ang kakayahang magbasa ng mga kuwento at artikulo sa Ingles Ang pag-intindi ng inyong anak ay uunlad habang natututunan niya ang kahulugan ng mga bagong salita at sagot sa mga tanong tungkol sa bawat kuwento at artikulo
Maaari kayong sumali sa pag-aaral na ito sa pamamagitan ng mga printout na maiuuwi at ang kada ikatlong buwang pag-uulat na iuuwi ng inyong anak Narito ang ilang mga paraan na matutulungan ninyo sila na matuto sa tahanan
bull Pagbalik-aralan ang anumang mga kuwento na inuuwi sa tahanan Sabihin sa inyong anak na basahin ang mga ito sa inyo
bull Kung mag-uuwi ang inyong anak ng mga salitang nakasulat sa card gupitin ang mga ito at tulungan siyang bumilis sa pagkilala sa bawat salita
bull Habang sumusulong ang inyong anak sa mas mahirap na mga kuwento isusulat niya ang mga mahahalagang ideya sa chart magsusulat ng buod at isusulat kung paano nakakaugnay ang kuwento sa personal na mga karanasan Sabihin sa inyong anak na ipaliwanag ang kanyang isinulat
Inaasahan ko ang magandang taon ng pag-aaral para sa inyong anak Umaasa ako na makikilahok kayo sa kasabikan nila habang nagiging mas matatas sa pagsasalita ng Ingles Hinihikayat naming ang inyong interes sa tagumpay ng inyong anak
