Name:Date:The Boy Who Cried WolfOnce upon a time, in a beautiful villagenear lush rolling hills, there was a boy whowatched over the village’s sheep. Beingalone up in the hills was very boring. Toliven up his day, the boy thought it wouldbe fun to scare the villagers and scream,“Wolf, wolf!” The villagers grabbed whatever they could,and ran up the hill to scare off the wolf.When they reached the top, they realized they hadbeen tricked by the mischievous boy. He laughed andlaughed until the villagers angrily walked back down thehill. Even the sheep were not amused. The boy continuedto call wolf, and the villagers warned him that the nexttime they would no longer believe him. The boy shruggedoff the warning and laid down for a nap.One lazy afternoon, the boy heard a terrible sound.Before he could even prepare himself, a wolf appearedright before him, and was chasing all the village’s sheep!The boy screamed, “Wolf, wolf!”, but having lied so manytimes, the people of the village justignored him. With no one to help him fendoff the wolf, the sheep all ran away, andthe boy was left crying on the hill.Copyright 2017Education.com LLC All Rights ReservedFind worksheets, games, lessons& moreat education.com/resourcesMore worksheets at www.education.com/worksheets 2007 - 2019 Education.com

Day 4ReadingWhat is soil?WritingRecycling ResourcesGrammar PracticeBicycle RideMathTelling Time:Five Minute Intervals

SoilLet’s study the earth by learning about the part of it that we are most familiar with:the soil. Soil is found on the upper-most layer of the earth’s crust.What is soil?Soil is a mixture of four main ingredients: weathered rock, organic matter, airand water. The weathered rock can be in the form of sand, silt, clay, pebbles orlarger rocks. Organic matter can be anything from old leaves, dead animalsand plants, to microorganisms—tiny living things, like bacteria. The last twoingredients are air and water. Without air and water, the microorganisms foundin soil cannot live, grow, or help dead matter to decay.Why is soil so important?Soil is important because it provides a place where organisms and bacteriacan live. Plants rely on soil for nutrients, water and mineral salts. Plants in turnprovide the oxygen we breathe, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and thefoundation and building materials we use to make our homes. We could notmeet our basic needs without soil!Comprehension: What is the main idea of these two passages?Copyright 2012-20132010-2011 by Education.comMore worksheets at www.education.com/worksheetsFind worksheets, games,lessons & more at education.com/resources 2007 - 2019 Education.com

Life Cycle of a PlantA plant starts out as a seed buried in the ground. As water falls on the seedand the sun warms it, its hard shell opens and it starts to grow out its roots.As the plant grows, its stem bursts through the soil. Then, leaves start togrow out of the stem. As the plant gets bigger it will begin to grow buds,which later sprout into flowers, and sometimes those flowers turn into fruit!As bees feed on the nectar, they pollinate the plants, allowing more seedsto be made and scattered to grow again.Find worksheets, games, lessons & more at education.com/resources 2007 - 2019 Education.com
