Grammar Lesson 21 - Proper Nouns

A noun is the name of something, such as thename of a person or the name of a place or thename of a thing.

A proper noun is the special name of a person,place or thing.

For example:

This is a girl. Her name is Alice.

The word girl is a noun.The name Alice is a proper noun because that isthe girl's own special name.

HINT: Proper nouns ALWAYS begin with a capital letter.

Now you try it. Underline the proper nouns in red. Underline the regular nouns inblue.

(1) Alice is my friend. (1 proper noun, 1 regular noun)

(2) She has a bird named Gracie. (1 proper noun, 1 regular noun)

(3) Gracie does tricks. (1 proper noun, 1 regular noun)

(4) Alice and I like to play at Glover Park. (2 proper nouns)

(5) Once we saw a cat at the park. (2 regular nouns)

(6) The cat belonged to my neighbor, Mr. Martinez. (1 proper noun, 2 regular nouns)

(7) I don't know why she was at the park. (1 regular noun)Picture created by Jirka Väätäinen and taken from: http://jirkavinse.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/alice/

Grammar Lesson 22 - Break It Down

Read each sentence. Mark whether the red noun is singular or plural. Then markwhether it tells you of a person, place or thing. Then mark whether it is a regularnoun or a proper noun.

(1) Cristian wanted to build a treehouse.

singular plural

person place thing

noun proper noun

(2) He didn't have the supplies heneeded.

Grammar Lesson 23 - Possessive Nouns (Singular Possessive)

Remember that the way a noun is written tells you about the word. If it has an /s/at the end, it is plural. If it doesn't have an /s/, it is singular. If it has a capitalletter at the beginning, it is a proper noun. If it has a lower case letter at thebeginning, it is just a regular noun.

Here is another trick to learn. If there is an /'s/ at the end of the noun, thatmeans something belongs to it. For example:

This is a bear's cave.

There is an /'s/ at the end of the word bear. That means something belongs tothe bear. What belongs to the bear? -----

Reading Lesson 18 - Nurse's Song

by William Blake

When the voices of children are heard on the green,And laughing is heard on the hill,

My heart is at rest within my breast,And everything else is still.

"Then come home, my children, the sun is gone down,And the dews of the night arise;

Come, come, leave off play, and let us awayTill the morning appears in the skies."

"No, no, let us play, for it is yet day,And we cannot go to sleep;

Besides in the sky the little birds fly,And the hills are all covered with sheep."

"Well, well, go and play till the light fades away,And then go home to bed."

The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laughed,And all the hills echoed.

Reading Lesson 19 - The Dancing Monkeys

adapted by Aesop

Once upon a time a prince had some monkeys. They were very bright, funny littlemonkeys and so he taught them to dance. Heel-toe, forward and back! Soon theywere able to dance for all the world like men and women. So the prince gave themonkeys fine clothes and he put them up on a stage to dance for all his friends.Night after night they dance just like real people.

By and by those who watched them began to say to each other: "Well, well, thesemust be men! We thought at first they were monkeys but surely they must bemen!"

And the monkeys, too, began to think they were part of the tribe of man and tohold their heads very high.

"We're just as good as men!" they said to one another.

But, one day, a mischievous boy thought up a little trick. He threw some nuts onthe stage as the monkeys were lined up to dance. Suddenly, at sight of the nuts,those monkeys forgot they were dancers; they forgot they had called themselvesmen. Breaking the line of their dance, they thought only of scrambling for nuts.Fighting with one another, they kicked and bit and chattered. And none of themwas willing that any other monkey should get a single nut. That was a tussle foryou! They tore all the clothes off each other. And now what a how-do-you-do! As

they stood there without any clothes, everyone who was watching could see theywere not really men. They were nothing at all but monkeys!

The people roared with laughter, while an old man cried from the crowd: "He, whothinks himself a man, will have to act like a man. Squabbling, you show yourselvesmonkeys! Fighting, you show yourselves beasts!"

Reading Lesson 20 - The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

adapted by Aesop

http://scottgustafson.com/WN_mini_painting2.html

Once upon a time, there was one little Mouse who lived in the country and therewas another little Mouse who lived in the city. The Country Mouse was very poor;he lived in a hole in the ground and had to work very hard, but the City Mouse wasvery rich and he lived in the pantry of a great big city house. Well, one day, theCity Mouse, all dressed in his best city clothes, came to visit the Country Mouse inhis poor little hole in the field.

"Why, my dear friend," said the City Mouse, seeing how the Country Mouse lived."How very poor you are!"

"Yes, I suppose I'm poor," said the littleCountry Mouse. "I haven't much to offer afriend; but if you'll make yourselfcomfortable, I'll get you something to eat."

So the City Mouse lay down lazily while the Country Mouse went away and workedhard in the fields, digging up roots and wheat-stalks. By and by he came home,very tired from his work but happy and proud of the dinner he was bringing hometo his friend.

"Is that all you have to eat?" The City Mouse turned up his nose. "All this hardwork in the fields and nothing to show for your labor but a few poor roots andwheat-stalks! You should see how I live in the city -- all the finest food to be had,and for no work at all. The Cook in the house bakes the cake and, when she is outof the way, I sneak out and help myself! Thus she does all the work and I have allthe fun. Come up to town and see!"

And now the Country Mouse was very sorry for himself. "I do work hard," he said,"and I get little in return. It must be fine not to work! I'll go to town with you!"

So the two Mice walked back to town till they came to the grandest home theCountry Mouse had ever seen, where they scampered into the pantry.

"This is like real living," said the City Mouse very proudly. "Look at those goodieson the shelf. We'll make a meal off that chocolate cake!"

They were creeping up to the cake, when bang! the kitchendoor opened and there appeared the face of the Cook.

"Scat!" she cried and the Mice in a panic ran off to ahole.

"We'll have another chance in a moment," theCity Mouse managed to squeak; but, when theycrept out again, the Cook dashed in at once andchased them with a broom.

"Have a little patience, my friend. We'll get what we want in amoment," the City Mouse said, breathing hard.

So they waited a long, long time till they thought the Cook had forgotten them andthen they came out again, very, very hungry now after their long walk to town. But,just as they started to nibble, the Cook pushed open the door and shoved in theirmost dreaded foe, Dame Pussy Cat herself!

"Mice in here!" she cried. "Catch them for me, Pussy!"

Off scampered the Mice in a jiffy, their hearts beating fast with fright, and asthey crouched in the hole, hungry and terrified, Dame Pussy came and sat down,watching beside their hole and ready to spring in a moment if they should so muchas show even the tips of their noses. Then the Country Mouse said to the CityMouse:

"Your life of ease, my friend, is not so fine as it sounds;for, though you do not work, neither are you certain ofeating. I'd far rather work and know that I also shalleat!" And off he ran back home by ways out of reach ofthe Cat.

Science Unit 3: VertebratesLesson 1: What Are Vertebrates?

Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone orspinal column. Feel your back. Do you feel your spine? ------- That means you are a vertebrate. The goat in thepicture above is a vertebrate too. That's because it alsohas a spine.

What kinds of animals have spines? Do you know? ----- Take alook at the pictures in this lesson and see if you can guess.

-----

Yes, vertebrates are animals such as fish, birds,reptiles and amphibians, and mammals.

Why are creatures with spines called vertebrates? Well,feel your spine again. Do you feel all those bumps? -----

Each bump is a bone called a vertebrae. So, creatureswith vertebrae are called vertebrates.

Find the vertebrae on the animals in each of these illustrations.

Name: ___________________________________ Date: ______________

Science Unit 3: VertebratesLesson 2: Temperature

Do you remember what allvertebrates have? ----- Yes, theyall have backbones. But you canalso tell that vertebrates have a lotof differences too. For example,fish live in water but birds live onland. A bird could never live inwater. And a fish could never liveon land. They weren't made to livethat way. They may both havebackbones but they are verydifferent sort of creatures.

One big difference that you willfind in vertebrates is their bodytemperature. A human's bodytemperature is about 98.7º F. Adog's body temperature is about101º F. A parrot's bodytemperature is about 104º F.

For some animals, their bodytemperature changes depending onwhere they are. If you put a fishor an amphibian (like a frog) or areptile (like a snake or lizard) in acold place, their body temperaturegrows cold and the animal slowsdown and doesn't move very muchIf you put one of them in a warmplace, such as in the sun, their bodytemperature warms up too. Theanimal can move much more quicklythen. We call animals like this coldblooded.

Mammals and birds are different.They are warm blooded. Thatmeans they stay warm all the timeno matter where they are. Itdoesn't matter if it's hot or cold,their body temperature doesn'tchange, and these creatures willbe able to move around and dothe things they need to do.Warm blooded creatures eatmore than cold bloodedcreatures. The food they eatturns into energy in their bodies.

The energy keeps the temperature in their body from changing so that they don't get toohot or too cold.

Are you warm blooded like a mammal or bird? Or areyou cold blooded like a fish, amphibian or reptile? -----

Darken the bubble to mark which one you are:

Ο I am cold blooded.

Ο I am warm blooded.

Science Unit 3: VertebratesLesson 3: Fish

Let's talk about one group of vertebrates - fish.

Fish are specially designed to live in water. They have fins to help them swim andscales to help protect their bodies... and they have gills.

You and I have lungs, as do most vertebrates. Fish are different. They have gills.Lungs help us to absorb oxygen from the air. That's perfect for creatures thatlive on land. But fish live in water, so they have to get their oxygen from waterinstead of air. And that is what gills are for.

Water goes in through the fish's mouth. Then the water goes across the fish'sgills. When it does this, oxygen from the water travels into the fishes bloodvessels and the blood carries the oxygen to the rest of the fish's body. At thesame time, carbon dioxide passes from the gills and back into the water.

(Remember that you breath in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. You trythat. Breathe in some oxygen right now. Hold it. Now breathe out carbon dioxide.That's pretty neat that you can do that, isn't it? And just think, fish do that, too,only they use gills for this instead of lungs.)

Name: ___________________________________ Date: ______________

Science Unit 3: VertebratesLesson 4: Amphibians

Frogs breathe with their lungs and through their skin. Salamanders only breathe through their skin.

Let's talk about another group of vertebrates - amphibians.

The most interesting thing about amphibians is that they breathe with both theirlungs and their skin. That sounds kind of crazy - breathing through your skin - butthat's what amphibians do. To take in air through their skin, their skin must bemoist. That is one why amphibians must live in wet areas.

Another reason they live in wetareas is because they must laytheir eggs in the water.Amphibians lay sticky, jelly-covered eggs. They have to laytheir eggs in water becausewithout water the eggs would dryout. Amphibians lay lots of eggsat one time. Frog mothers layhundreds of eggs at a time.

It's a funny thing. Human babieslook like little tiny humans. Birdbabies look like little tiny birds.

Dog babies look like little tiny dogs. Horse babies look like little tiny horses. Butamphibian babies? They don't look like their parents. They have a different shapeand they change as they get older.

frog eggs frog tadpoles tadpoles with legs

When a baby frog is hatched, it's a tadpole. It lives only in the water (it can't goon land like its parents). It has a tail for swimming. It has gills, like a fish, forbreathing. As it gets older, it's body changes and it starts to look more like agrown-up frog. It's gills disappear. It grows legs. The tail goes away. And finally,it is an adult frog, able to breath through its skin and with its lungs, and able to goon land. That amazing change is called metamorphosis.

A river is a water course. It's kind of like a road, but it's made out of waterinstead a hard substance that you could drive on. Rivers are almost always made upof "fresh water". Fresh water is water with no salt in it.

The Noua River has a little bit of salt water that comes in from the sea and flowsinto the lake. Where would the salt water part of the Noua River be? ----- Theother side (the west side) of the river is fresh water. Looking at the map, wheredo you think the fresh water and the salt water would mix? -----

A lake is a body of still water surrounded by land. What is "still water" do youthink? ----- Well, oceans have waves - great big ones that go crashing onto theshore. Lakes do not. Lake water mostly sits very still. Sometimes on a windy day,the wind might blow upon the lake a bit and cause ripples on the water of the lake.Those ripples might push against the shore in teeny, tiny waves, but those wavesare nothing compared to the great waves the ocean has.

Most lakes are fresh water lakes. In fact it is possible that you might never see asalt water lake in your entire life, but real salt water lakes do exist; there's justnot that many of them. Lake Titicaca is one of those lakes. A very, very, very longtime ago Titicaca use to be part of a sea. But the land under it rose until it became

a mountain. Titicaca wasn't a sea anymore. It becamea lake - a lake that had salt water trapped in it.

Because Lake Titicaca is a salt water lake that wasonce a sea, it still has sea creatures in it. For example,seahorses still live in Lake Titicaca and sea horsesreally belong in the ocean.

Another thing you will notice on the map is a lot ofblack lines. What do you think those are? ----- Yes,the black lines are streets. And all those streets makeup a city. What is the name of the city? -----

What forest is Crossing Point near? -----
