the possibilities. Bring the tally chart along on your walk and record what you see.
After, analyze the data together. How many birds did you see? How many dogs? How many more squirrels did you
see than people? What did you see the most of? The least?
Turn the tally chart information into a pictograph and share it with the rest of the family. Try to create a pictograph
with a scaled interval.

has also lost most of his gray hair. Manny got a haircut last month, and already his
hair is getting long again.
What are the different stages of the life cycle of living things?
A life cycle includes all the stages of life, from birth to death. A stage is just one
step in this process. Manny saw people in different stages of life at his family
reunion. He has already lived through some of these stages. Let’s learn more about
this.

Life Cycles
After many years, he will have wrinkles and gray hair like his grandfather. Eventually,
he will die. These stages make up the life cycle of a human being. Although the
changes Manny sees happen gradually over time, we notice the differences between
the stages of his family member’s lives.
All living creatures—not only humans—have life cycles. Plants, animals, and even
insects have life cycles. Plants start as seeds. When a seed is planted in good soil
with water, it grows into a seedling. Over time, the seedling grows into a plant. Some
plants produce flowers or fruits, which contain seeds. When the plant dies, the seeds
can be planted to grow new plants.
Take a look at the following photographs of a tomato plant’s life cycle. Can you name
each stage?
How can we learn about the life cycles of different plants and animals?
Scientists observe how plants and animals change over time. Each living thing has
physical traits that make it unique and different from others. (A trait is a
characteristic or property of something, such as height, weight, and skin or fur color.)
The same kinds of living things have similar traits.
For example, look at the tomato plants above. As a baby tomato plant starts to grow,
it looks like a small version of an adult tomato plant. Even though the seedling on the
left is small, it has similar leaves, color, and shape as the adult plant in the center. All
tomato plants have traits like these at each state of their life cycles.

Life Cycles
Many animals have babies that are just like small versions of
themselves. How are the mothers and their babies alike in
these photos? How are they different?
Not all animal babies look like their parents. Frogs are examples of animals that
change a lot from birth to adulthood. Follow the pictures below, starting in the top-left
corner.

Life Cycles
You can catch your own tadpoles and watch them grow.
1. Find a plastic tub or a fish tank, a plastic cup or container, and a bucket.
2. Collect rocks or gravel to place on the bottom of your tub.
3. Place a large rock or two in the tub.
4. Visit a pond, small lake, or anywhere with standing water. Take an adult with
you.
5. Look around the edges of the pond for tadpoles.
6. Scoop up some pond water in the bucket.
7. Scoop up the tadpoles with the cup and put them in the bucket. Try not to
touch the tadpoles. The bacteria from your hands could harm them.
8. Fill the tub about three inches high with pond water. You can also use distilled
or spring water. If you use tap water, let it sit about a day before putting in the
tadpoles. This will allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate.
9. Make sure some of the rocks are above the water’s surface. The tadpoles will
need a place to go once they become froglets.
10. Place a couple of plants in the tub.
11. Include some moss and algae from the pond.
12. Let the habitat sit for a day or two. Allow
everything in it to settle.
13. Gently scoop the tadpoles from the bucket.
14. Gently release them into the habitat.
15. Feed them a little lettuce every three days. You
can tear the lettuce into little pieces. Freeze it
overnight. Then allow it to thaw before placing a
pinch of it inside the tadpole container.
16. Remove a third of the water every week and replace it with pond water or clean
distilled water.
17. Watch the tadpoles turn into froglets.
18. Feed them meat as they start moving out of the water. You can feed them
bloodworms or small crickets from a pet store.
19. Place a lid with vents on the tub as the frogs start coming out of the water.
Otherwise, they will hop out of the tub!

Life Cycles
Most insects, however, change completely from birth to adulthood. They have four
definite stages in their life cycles:
•Egg: the stage before birth
•Larva: the young, wormlike stage
•Pupa: the inactive, changing stage
•Adult: the fully grown stage
Most insects with this kind of life cycle have wings as adults. Butterflies are good
examples of insects with this kind of life cycle.

CICLOS DE VIDA

reflexiona
Manny está en una reunión familiar. Primero habla de las últimas novedades con sus
abuelos. La gente siempre le dice lo mucho que se parece a su abuelo, pero Manny no
está de acuerdo con eso. Su abuelo es mucho más alto, y su rostro está lleno de arrugas.
Su abuelo también ha perdido casi todo su cabello canoso. Manny se cortó el cabello el
mes pasado y ya le está creciendo otra vez.
Más tarde, Manny juega un rato con su prima Lucía. Lucía solo
tiene un año, pero tiene mucha energía. Gatea por todos lados
y cuando intenta pararse, se vuelve a caer. Parece que no le
duele. Ella se ríe y lo intenta de nuevo. A Manny le encantaría
saber lo que piensa Lucía, pero todavía no sabe hablar.
¿Por qué los parientes de Manny son tan diferentes? ¿Qué tan
diferente será Manny cuando tenga la edad de su tío o de su
abuelo? ¿Qué tiene que ver todo esto con los ciclos de vida?
¿Cuáles son las diferentes etapas del ciclo de vida de los seres vivos?
El ciclo de vida incluye todas las etapas de la vida, desde el nacimiento hasta la
muerte. Una etapa es solo un paso en este proceso. Manny vio a muchas personas en
diferentes etapas de la vida en la reunión familiar. Él ya atravesó algunas de esas etapas.
Aprendamos más acerca de esto.
Estas son las etapas que forman el ciclo de vida del ser humano. Aunque los cambios que
observa Manny ocurren de manera gradual con el transcurso del tiempo, nosotros notamos
las diferencias entre las etapas de la vida de sus familiares.
Todas las criaturas vivas, no solo los seres humanos, tienen ciclos de vida. Las plantas,
los animales e incluso los insectos tienen ciclos de vida. Las plantas comienzan como
semillas. Cuando se planta una semilla en tierra fértil y se le proporciona agua, se
transforma en una planta de semillero. Con el tiempo, esta planta de semillero se convierte
en una planta. Algunas plantas producen flores o frutos, que contienen semillas. Cuando
las plantas mueren, las semillas se pueden plantar para que crezcan plantas nuevas.
¿qué piensas?
Observa las siguientes fotografías del
ciclo de vida de una planta de tomate.
¿Puedes identificar cada etapa?
¿Cómo podemos aprender acerca de los ciclos de vida de diferentes plantas y a nimales?
Los científicos observan cómo las plantas y los animales cambian con el tiempo. Cada
ser vivo tiene características físicas que lo hacen único y diferente de los demás. (Una
característica es una cualidad o propiedad de algo, como la altura, el peso y el color de piel
o pelaje). Los mismos tipos de seres vivos tienen características similares.

Puedes atrapar tus propios renacuajos y verlos crecer.
1. Busca una tina de plástico pequeña o una pecera, un vaso o un recipiente de
plástico y un cubo.
2. Junta rocas o grava para colocar en el fondo de la tina.
3. Coloca una o dos rocas grandes en la tina.
4. Visita un estanque, una laguna pequeña o algún otro lugar con agua estancada.
Pídele a una persona adulta que te acompañe.
5. Busca renacuajos cerca de los bordes del estanque.
6. Coloca un poco de agua del estanque en el cubo.
7. Saca los renacuajos con el vaso y colócalos en el cubo. Trata de no tocar los
renacuajos. Las bacterias de tus manos podrían dañarlos.
8. Llena la tina con agua del estanque hasta una altura de tres pulgadas. También
puedes usar agua destilada o de manantial. Si usas agua de la llave, deja que se
asiente durante un día antes de poner en ella los renacuajos. Esto permitirá que se
evapore el cloro del agua.
9. Asegúrate de que algunas rocas estén por
encima de la superficie del agua. Los renacuajos
necesitarán un lugar a donde ir una vez que se
conviertan en ranas jóvenes.
10. Coloca un par de plantas en la tina.
11. Pon musgo y algas del estanque.
12. Deja asentar el hábitat durante un día o dos.
Deja que todo se asiente.
13. Cuidadosamente, saca los renacuajos del cubo.
14. Suéltalos con cuidado en el hábitat.
15. Aliméntalos con un poco de lechuga cada tres días. Puedes romper la lechuga en
pequeños trozos. Congélala durante la noche. Luego, déjala descongelar antes de
poner una pizca de ella dentro del recipiente con renacuajos.
16. Retira un tercio del agua cada semana y reemplázala con agua del estanque o
agua destilada limpia.
17. Observa cómo los renacuajos se convierten en ranas jóvenes.
18. Aliméntalas con carne a medida que comienzan a salir del agua. Puedes
alimentarlas con gusanos o grillos pequeños que puedes conseguir en una tienda
de mascotas.
19. Coloca una tapa con orificios de ventilación sobre la tina cuando las ranas
comiencen a salir del agua. De lo contrario, ¡saldrán saltando de la tina!

The Life Cycle of Plants
Have you ever walked in a forest under tall oak trees and wondered
just how they got there?
An oak tree, like most plants, starts from a seed. The seed of an oak
tree is an acorn. When an acorn lands in a place where the
conditions are right, it will germinate, or begin to grow. Perhaps
you have seen an acorn that looked like it was attached to the
ground by a stalk. That acorn had germinated.
The life cycle of an oak tree is similar to the life cycles of most other
plants. A seed germinates and grows into a new plant. The plant
grows larger over time. When it is mature, the plant produces seeds.
The life cycle begins again when these seeds germinate.

Narrator 1: No one knows just how this whole Big Bad Wolf thing got started, but it's all
wrong.
Narrator 2: Maybe it's because wolves eat cute little animals like bunnies and sheep and
pigs. That's just the way they are. If cheeseburgers were cute, folks would probably think
people were Big and Bad, too.
Narrator 3:Way back in Once Upon a Time time, our friend, the wolf, was making a
birthday cake for his dear granny.
Narrator 6: So he walked down the street to ask his neighbor for a cup of sugar.
Narrator 4: Can you believe it? Who in his right mind would build a house of straw?
1
82
Narrator 5: So of course the minute the wolf knocked on the door, it fell right in and he
didn't want to just walk into someone else's house.
Narrator 6: So he called.
Narrator 1: No answer .
Narrator 2: He was just about to go home without the cup of sugar for his dear old
granny's birthday cake.
Narrator 2: And you know what? That whole darn straw house fell down. And right in
the middle of the pile of straw was the First Little Pig-dead as a doornail.
Narrator 4: It seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there in the
straw. So the wolf ate it up.
Narrator 6: He was feeling a little better. But he still didn't have his cup of sugar.
Narrator 2: This neighbor was the First Little Pig's brother. He was a little smarter, but
not much. He had built his house of sticks.
Narrator 5: He called...

83
2ND Pig: Go away wolf. You can't come in. I'm shaving the hairs on my chinny chin chin.
Narrator 1: He had grabbed the doorknob when he felt another sneeze coming on.
Narrator 2: And he tried to cover his mouth, but he sneezed a great sneeze.
Narrator 3: And you're not going to believe it, but this guy's house fell down just like his
brother's.
Narrator 4: When the dust cleared, there was the second Little Pig -- dead as a doornail.
Wolfs honor!
Narrator 5: Now you know food will spoil if you leave it out in the open.
Narrator 6: So the wolf did the only thing there was to do. He had dinner again.
Narrator 2: He was getting awfully full. But his cold was feeling a little better.
Narrator 3: And he still didn't have that cup of sugar for his dear old granny's birthday
cake.
Narrator 4: So the wolf went to the next house. This guy was the First and Second Little
Pigs' brother.
Narrator 5: He must have been the brains of the family. He had built his house of bricks.
Narrator 1: And do you know what that rude little porker answered?
3RD Pig: Get out of here, Wolf. Don't bother me again. Talk about impolite!
3
84
Narrator 4: And he wouldn't give the wolf even one little cup for his dear, sweet old
granny's birthday cake.
Narrator 6: The wolf was just about to go home and maybe make a nice birthday card
instead of a cake, when he felt his cold coming on.
Narrator 2: The wolf was usually a pretty calm fellow. But when he
heard somebody talk about his dear, sweet old granny like that, he went a little crazy.
Narrator 3: When the cops drove up, of course he was trying to break down this Pig's
door. And the whole time the wolf was huffing and puffing and sneezing and making a
real scene.
Narrator 5: The news reporters found out about the two pigs he had for dinner.
Narrator 6: They figured a sick guy going to borrow a cup of sugar didn't sound very
exciting.
Narrator 3: So they jazzed up the story with all that "huff and puff" and "blow your
house down" stuff.

Reader’s Theater is an opportunity for family bonding while working on fluency. There are many
things families can do together with these scripts while helping children build confidence in their
reading skills.
Tips:
● Read the scripts and divvy up the parts. Any script can be rewritten to have more narrators or
parts can be shared.
● Support younger students reading their parts. They need to continue to use good reading
strategies. These scripts do not have picture support, so talk about the meaning of the story as
you read it. FOr younger children, you might even read aloud the whole script and have the
same discussion you would have as a read aloud. Then, make it into a script.
● Let children select a part, but you might even rotate parts after a few readings.
● You do not have to print scripts, you can read directly from the computer. But, if you want to
print, to save paper and ink you can share one script, just pass it around.
● Remind readers to use their comprehension strategies to
● Remember...Practice, practice, practice!
● Have a special performance. You can always facetime family members and friends.
● Students can write poems on lined paper, blank paper, paper folded and cut in half
vertically or horizontally, etc.

Journal Writing to record your Historical Moments and your big thoughts
This is a great time to record your experiences as a student. Each day, take a little time to journal different small
moments. These might be things you’d like to share with your family, somethings you might want to share with your
class, and somethings you might just want to write down for yourself. In a few years or in many years, you will look
back at this journal and remember how well you handled the moment!
Create a Journal
use an old journal and Find a spot, tab Make a Journal with a cereal box
Make a journal with paper
the page and make a cover sheet and paper
If you can’t find an old journal, then just put together some paper with a paper clip or staple.
As you read through your entries, fold over pages that are just for you. Select at least one to share with someone in
your home, at least once a week.
Remember that this is their journal. If they want to draw in it, then let them. If they want to make lists, let them
list. If they are always doing the same thing, then offer them an idea. Sometimes, a little encouragement to try
something else, might look like giving them a quote or an idea. It might sound like, “ what if we had goldilocks
sneak into our house one day…hmmm...how would that story go?”
Have fun!

This is a game for students to play. It helps them see patterns in words. It helps them build on
word parts to understand how these word parts fit together to make a larger word. The larger
word uses all of the letters.
Make this activity a game for the family. Team up and keep score. In school, kids get extra
points for extra long words. The first to make the big word gets a bonus.
● If your child is having a hard time making words just looking at the letters, have them
write the letters on small pieces of paper and use these letters as manipulatives.
● After making the big words, have students look at the smaller words and notice any
patterns.
○ For instance, “I noticed that I could add the letter s to some of the words.”
● After they have found all the words they can, encourage them by giving hints such as,

Cuando caminas, tus pies
empujan hacia el suelo. Las aletas
de un pez empujan el agua. Las alas de
un ave empujan contra el aire. Empujarse contra algo ayuda a
los animales a moverse hacia delante. Las serpientes no tienen
aletas ni alas, ni pies para moverse de un lugar a otro. ¿Cómo
pueden empujar su cuerpo hacia delante?
La Serpiente
de Mar Rayada
La serpiente de mar
rayada se retuerce y se
empuja a través del agua.

La mayoría de las serpientes tienen escamas
especiales en su vientre llamadas conchas.
Estas conchas las ayudan a sujetarse del suelo.

retorcerse. Pero se mueve lentamente hacia

Víbora Bufadora
La víbora bufadora vive en el desierto. Sus
escamas tienen mucha dificultad para agarrarse
de la arena suelta. Para moverse, la víbora
arquea su espalda y lanza su cuerpo en la
dirección que se quiera mover. Entonces tuerce
la cabeza en la misma dirección. Finalmente
hala la cola al compás, una y otra vez, en
un movimiento hacia los lados y ondulante.

Orejas Grande
El zorro fennec es el más pequeño miembro
de este familia de animales, pero tiene las
orejas más grandes. Vive en el desierto
caliente y generalmente caza de noche,
cuando es más frío. En la oscuridad el zorro
confía en su muy agudo audición para
encontrar escarabajos y grillos arrastrándose
por la arena.
Orejas submarinas
El pez no necesita
un oído externo
para recoger
sonidos. Las
vibraciones
sonoras pasan
fácilmente por
el cuerpo del pez
y son recogidas
dentro de su cabeza.
