An inference is a conclusion you draw based on your own reasoning and evidence \
found in a reading passage
‘As you read, take note of the inferences you are making. Then, explain your reasoning using
evidence from the text. If you are reading a book or article, make sure to write the page number
where you found the evidence.

NI” ‘The Mermaids’ Lagoon: An Excerpt from Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie “AL
Ifyou shut your eyes and are a lucky one, you may see at times a shapeless pool of lovely pale colors
suspended in the darkness; then if you squeeze your eyes tighter, the pool begins to take shape, and the
colors become so vivid that with another squeeze they must go on fire. But just before they go on fire you
see the lagoon. This is the nearest you ever get to it on the mainland, just one heavenly moment; if there
could be two moments you might see the surf and hear the mermaids singing.
The children often spent long summer days on this lagoon, swimming or floating most of the time,
playing the mermaid games in the water, and so forth. You must not think from this that the mermaids
were on friendly terms with them: on the contrary, it was among Wendy's lasting regrets that all the time
she was on the island she never had a civil word from one of them. When she stole softly to the edge of
the lagoon she might see them by the score, especially on Marooners’Rock, where they loved to bask,
combing out their hair in a lazy way that quite irritated her; or she might even swim, on tiptoe as it were,
towithin a yard of them, but then they saw her and dived, probably splashing her with their tails, not by
accident, but intentionally.
They treated all the boys in the same way, except of course Peter, who chatted with them on Marooners!
Rock by the hour, and sat on their tails when they got cheeky. He gave Wendy one of their combs.
The most haunting time at which to see them is at the turn of the moon, when they utter strange
wailing cries; but the lagoon is dangerous for mortals then, and until the evening of which we have now
to tell, Wendy had never seen the lagoon by moonlight, less from fear, for of course Peter would have
accompanied her, than because she had strict rules about everyone being in bed by seven. She was often
at the lagoon, however, on sunny days after rain, when the mermaids come up in extraordinary numbers
to play with their bubbles. The bubbles of many colors made in rainbow water they treat as ball hitting
them gaily from one to another with their tails, and trying to keep them in the rainbow till they burst. The
goals are at each end of the rainbow, and the keepers only are allowed to use their hands, Sometimes a
dozen of these games will be going on in the lagoon at a time, and it is quite a pretty sight.
1. List three or more things that the mermaids do 2. Match each word to its meaning,

\Parent Signature: DateStanley Martin Lieber was born December 28, 1922 in New York City. His parents had
immigrated, or moved, from Romania. Stanley and his brother, Larry, watched his parents
struggle to earn enough money during the Great Depression. The Great Depression was a
time in history where there were not enough jobs and people often did not have enough
Money.
Stanley, who shortened his name to Stan Lee, became a writer and was hired to work
for Timely Comics (which would eventually become Marvel Comics) in 1939. He served in
the US Army during World War Il as a writer and illustrator.
In 1961, Lee created the Fantastic Four comic series with Jack Kirby. It was very
popular! Lee went on to create many other popular superheroes including the Hulk, Dr.
Strange, Spider-Man, and the X-Men. Lee was known for allowing his heroes to deal with
real life issues as well as “super” problems. He was also known for including some humor in
his comics.
Lee then went on to encourage films based on his comics. This resulted in many
popular movies such as The Avengers, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther, Guardians of the
Galaxy, and many more! If you watch closely, you will find Stan Lee in all of the Marvel
movies.

“Oh no!” groaned Kendall, “Why can't | get this right?” Kendall was a fourth grader
at Evergreen Academy, and even though she was a good student, she was unhappy at school.
She wanted nothing more than to play the recorder for the school band, just like her older
brother. After attending band tryouts for months, she still hadn't been accepted. Still, she was
determined. She practiced the song Hot Cross Buns every night and she carried her recorder
with her everywhere she went. Kendall could play perfectly at home in front of her parents,
but every time she tried to play in front of Ms. Melody, the band teacher, she messed up.
Today was her last chance to impress Ms. Melody.
As she practiced in the hall before her audition, Kendall exclaimed, “I have an idea!”
She took out a piece of paper and wrote down the notes for the song. Then, she highlighted
Cote, the one she kept missing during tryouts. "Now I'll get it right!” Kendall grinned. She
walked into the music room and smiled bravely at Ms. Melody. She set her highlighted paper
‘on the music stand and started to play.
“Bravo! That was the best rendition of Hot Cross Buns I've ever heard!" said Ms. Melody
when Kendall had finished. “Congratulations! You are the newest member of our band!”

Historical Hero: Ada Lovelace
‘Ada Lovelace was born in 1815 in London, England to Anne Isabella Byron
and famous Romantic poet Lord Byron. When Ada was a child, her mother
encouraged her to study math. At the time, it was unusual for women to
study math and science, even if they were wealthy.
In 1833, she met mathematician Charles Babbage at a party. Charles, known
as the father of the computer, made a machine that could calculate math
problems. It was called the difference engine. Once Charles found out that Ada was interested in math,
they became good friends. He showed Ada the difference machine and she was fascinated by it. Charles
then took Ada under his wing and taught her about his research during the next several years.
Painting of Ada Lovelace
About ten years later, Charles had an idea for a new mathematical machine. A fellow scientist had
written an article about it, but it was in French. Charles asked Ada to translate the article for him. Not
only did she translate the article, but she added her own notes and ideas, After she added her notes,
the article became three times longer than the original! She used the initials A.A.L for Augusta Ada
Lovelace to publish the English version of the article.
‘Ada died from uterine cancer in London on November 27, 1852. She was 36 years old. Many of Ada's
ideas are still used in computers today. Her work went unnoticed until the 1950s. It was then that
scientists realized how revolutionary her ideas were. In 1980, the United States Department of Defense
named a new computer language “Ada to recognize her past contributions, Now she is considered by
many to be the world's first computer programmer.

Watch where you step! Most creatures live on the
forest floor, where they can find enough food. The tall
trees also protect them from the rain and sun.
Would you like to meet some of these small, quiet
creatures? Bend down. Do you see the beetles? They
like to dig homes in the ground or hide in tree bark.
They are small but very important because they are
food for woodpeckers and other forest birds.
Look up and see another forest insect—the beau-

Each fall, thousands of them fly down the Pacific coast
of the North American continent. Sometimes they
fly from Canada! Monarchs are the only insect that
flies so far every year and then returns to where it
