~ Introduction Most creatures live out their lives in the places

where they are born The tiny mouse runs in the fields

where his mother ran The gray squirrel lives in the same

tall trees all her life The cow stays on the farm

But there are some creatures who do not stay where

they are born who cannot stay These are the creatures

who migrate Their lives will be spent moving from one

place to another Some will migrate to survive Some will

migrate to create new life All will be remarkable

Here are the stories of two of these remarkable

travelers-so different from each other but so alike in one

profound way Each must move

r-m The Locusts

~ T here are few migrations as dramatic and frightening as when the desert locusts a re moving across Africa These insects are actually young grasshoppers and grasshoppers usually do not travel

But sometimes too many grasshopper eggs are laid in one small area and when the grasshoppers are born there isnt enough food The grasshoppers now have only one choice for survival to migrate in search of vegetation

241

And so these grasshoppers will begin changing Their bodies will turn from light green to dark yellow or red

Their antennae will grow short rather than long And

when they rise up to fly together by the billions they will

be grasshoppers no more They will be locusts

A cloud of desert locusts in the sky is an unbelievable

sight There are so many locusts that they block out the

sun It seems like night And in the sudden darkness

there is a terrible thunderous noise It is the noise of a

billion wings

Authors Word Choice What words help you visua li ze how it looks and sounds when the locusts fly away together -

gt What happens next is even more incredible When the locusts fly to the ground they will eat every plant every blade of grass every leaf and bush and piece of vegetation as far as the eye can see Within minutes they will fly off again leaving behind them a totally

r- devastated landscape

gt And though locusts do not willfully hurt people-they -- want only to eat gardens trees bushes grass-people

may die because of the locusts Because the gardens are empty of food people may die of starvation

Desert locusts can also cause accidents Locusts fly

very high-as high as two miles up in the sky-and this

can make difficult flying for planes that have to move

through the locust cloud The swarms can also interfere with trains And millions of crushed locusts on a highway

will make cars slip and slide

There are many stories in history about the terrible

devastation of locust plagues It is written that in ancient

times one locust swarm covered 2000 square miles

The swarms today are not nearly as large as that But

they can still be quite big often as much as one hundred

square miles Imagine so many insects in the sky

245

246

~ locust eggs

gt As the locusts migrate in search of food they ride the winds from one area of rainfall to the next (There is always more food where it rains) They travel on sunny mornings and stop in late afternoon to roost for the night

When they reach a rainy area they mate and die Then their eggs will hatch and a new swarm of locusts begins moving This will happen aga in and again until one day a swarm will return to the same place where the very first locusts began

And if the eggs laid are not too many and if there is plenty of food when the new eggs hatch there will be no

locust swarms for a while Only pale green grasshoppers

moving quietly about

But someday too many eggs may be laid and the newly

hatched grasshoppers will be much too hungry These

grasshoppers will begin to look a little different and act a

little different

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

the same about the two trips that whales make What 1s different

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

thunderous tunes Sometimes Grasshopper phtyed frightening music Then he would hop around in a dramatic wa) Thats when he caused accidents

One time Grasshopper jumped into a pile of grain that Ant had spent all da) collecting The grain scattered across the landscape

Igt) You should be more careful Grasshopper scolded Ant l worked hard to gather that grain Now l have to pile it up again

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

laquoIgt Veeks later fat flakes of snow began to drift from the

sky Grasshopper shivered It was so cold that he could

hardly hold his fiddle Grasshopper looked for food but

the ground had turned into a blanket of white snow

Vhat wi ll I do now T cant find food and its too cold

for me to go far Maybe Ant will help me thought

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

r-m The Locusts

~ T here are few migrations as dramatic and frightening as when the desert locusts a re moving across Africa These insects are actually young grasshoppers and grasshoppers usually do not travel

But sometimes too many grasshopper eggs are laid in one small area and when the grasshoppers are born there isnt enough food The grasshoppers now have only one choice for survival to migrate in search of vegetation

241

And so these grasshoppers will begin changing Their bodies will turn from light green to dark yellow or red

Their antennae will grow short rather than long And

when they rise up to fly together by the billions they will

be grasshoppers no more They will be locusts

A cloud of desert locusts in the sky is an unbelievable

sight There are so many locusts that they block out the

sun It seems like night And in the sudden darkness

there is a terrible thunderous noise It is the noise of a

billion wings

Authors Word Choice What words help you visua li ze how it looks and sounds when the locusts fly away together -

gt What happens next is even more incredible When the locusts fly to the ground they will eat every plant every blade of grass every leaf and bush and piece of vegetation as far as the eye can see Within minutes they will fly off again leaving behind them a totally

r- devastated landscape

gt And though locusts do not willfully hurt people-they -- want only to eat gardens trees bushes grass-people

may die because of the locusts Because the gardens are empty of food people may die of starvation

Desert locusts can also cause accidents Locusts fly

can make difficult flying for planes that have to move

through the locust cloud The swarms can also interfere with trains And millions of crushed locusts on a highway

There are many stories in history about the terrible

devastation of locust plagues It is written that in ancient

times one locust swarm covered 2000 square miles

The swarms today are not nearly as large as that But

they can still be quite big often as much as one hundred

square miles Imagine so many insects in the sky

~ locust eggs

gt As the locusts migrate in search of food they ride the winds from one area of rainfall to the next (There is always more food where it rains) They travel on sunny mornings and stop in late afternoon to roost for the night

When they reach a rainy area they mate and die Then their eggs will hatch and a new swarm of locusts begins moving This will happen aga in and again until one day a swarm will return to the same place where the very first locusts began

And if the eggs laid are not too many and if there is plenty of food when the new eggs hatch there will be no

locust swarms for a while Only pale green grasshoppers

moving quietly about

But someday too many eggs may be laid and the newly

hatched grasshoppers will be much too hungry These

grasshoppers will begin to look a little different and act a

little different

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

an Aesops fable adapted b) Margaretha Rabe

Grasshopper loved to sing and pla)

his fiddle He pla)ed quiet songs and

thunderous tunes Sometimes Grasshopper phtyed frightening music Then he would hop around in a dramatic wa) Thats when he caused accidents

One time Grasshopper jumped into a pile of grain that Ant had spent all da) collecting The grain scattered across the landscape

Igt) You should be more careful Grasshopper scolded Ant l worked hard to gather that grain Now l have to pile it up again

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

laquoIgt Veeks later fat flakes of snow began to drift from the

sky Grasshopper shivered It was so cold that he could

hardly hold his fiddle Grasshopper looked for food but

the ground had turned into a blanket of white snow

Vhat wi ll I do now T cant find food and its too cold

for me to go far Maybe Ant will help me thought

Grasshopper

Grasshopper trudged through the snow and knocked

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

gt As the locusts migrate in search of food they ride the winds from one area of rainfall to the next (There is always more food where it rains) They travel on sunny mornings and stop in late afternoon to roost for the night

When they reach a rainy area they mate and die Then their eggs will hatch and a new swarm of locusts begins moving This will happen aga in and again until one day a swarm will return to the same place where the very first locusts began

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

came for a giant whale What a great trip

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

There are many stories in history about the terrible

devastation of locust plagues It is written that in ancient

times one locust swarm covered 2000 square miles

The swarms today are not nearly as large as that But

they can still be quite big often as much as one hundred

square miles Imagine so many insects in the sky

~ locust eggs

gt As the locusts migrate in search of food they ride the winds from one area of rainfall to the next (There is always more food where it rains) They travel on sunny mornings and stop in late afternoon to roost for the night

When they reach a rainy area they mate and die Then their eggs will hatch and a new swarm of locusts begins moving This will happen aga in and again until one day a swarm will return to the same place where the very first locusts began

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

the same about the two trips that whales make What 1s different

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

~ locust eggs

gt As the locusts migrate in search of food they ride the winds from one area of rainfall to the next (There is always more food where it rains) They travel on sunny mornings and stop in late afternoon to roost for the night

When they reach a rainy area they mate and die Then their eggs will hatch and a new swarm of locusts begins moving This will happen aga in and again until one day a swarm will return to the same place where the very first locusts began

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

the same about the two trips that whales make What 1s different

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

Igt) You should be more careful Grasshopper scolded Ant l worked hard to gather that grain Now l have to pile it up again

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

laquoIgt Veeks later fat flakes of snow began to drift from the

sky Grasshopper shivered It was so cold that he could

the ground had turned into a blanket of white snow

Vhat wi ll I do now T cant find food and its too cold

for me to go far Maybe Ant will help me thought

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

came for a giant whale What a great trip

Grammar 116 Grade 3 Unit 5

Gray whales love the cold waters near the North Pole because the waters are full of the food they love to eat The whales live on tiny ocean shrimp and worms and the Arctic waters are full of these in summer The whales eat and eat and eat straining the tiny food through strips of baleen in their mouths (Instead of teeth the grays have baleen-long strips of a hard material similar to fi ngerna i Is)

The gray whales swim and eat mostly alone through the summer But in the fall they will begin to look for some traveling companions because the whales know one thing for certain that they must migrate In winter the Arctic seas are going to be filled with solid ice And the whales will die if they stay

t) The first gray whales to leave the Arctic are the pregnant females These expectant mothers want to have plenty of time to reach the warm waters of California and Mexico before they give birth No mother wants to have a baby in icy water

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

gt) This time the males will leave first and the females and calves will stay behind for another severa l weeks The calves will have more time to grow and get stronger for the long journey

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

The other whales wil l follow and in small groups they will all travel down the Pacific coast Once they leave the Arctic the wha les wont find much food again and it may be as long as eight months before they eat

But the whales have stored a lot of fat in their bodies called blubber and this will keep them alive

S As they travel the whales often swim near shore and people along the way are thrilled They wave to the whales from rocky cliffs and travel out in boats to say hello to them

When finally the gray whales reach che warm tropical waters in January the pregnant females will give birth And the other whales will mate

gt With new calves among them all of the whales will enjoy life in the peaceful lagoons for a while Then in March they will be ready to head back to the Arctic for the summer They havent forgotten how they love to

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

mile journey north and they will find the same chilly waters they left behind When they arrive in the Arctic they will separate and enjoy a summer of fine ocean eating

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

Finally all of the whales will travel up past Oregon past Washington through the waters of Alaska and Asia up near the North Pole How do the whales find these Arctic waters No one is sure The whales might follow the shape of the ocean beds They might sense the earths magnetic field like living compasses They may use echolocation-sending out sounds which bounce back and describe what is all around

But somehow the whales will travel that long 6000-

Igt) You should be more careful Grasshopper scolded Ant l worked hard to gather that grain Now l have to pile it up again

Im sorry said Grasshopper Why not take a break Its a beautiful sunny day Youll have plenty of days to gather food

You may think so Grasshopper but winter will soon be here Then the ground will be frozen solid said Ant Now is the time to gather food and plan for survival You should take a break from playing and do sorne Vork

Gnisshopper said Ill migrate to someplace warm if it gets too chilly That way I can keep on playing and singing But for now Ill play any song you like to make your work easier to do

laquoIgt Veeks later fat flakes of snow began to drift from the

sky Grasshopper shivered It was so cold that he could

the ground had turned into a blanket of white snow

Vhat wi ll I do now T cant find food and its too cold

for me to go far Maybe Ant will help me thought

Grasshopper

Grasshopper trudged through the snow and knocked

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

My Whale-Watching Trip by Victor Rotella

Mom and I took a whale-watching trip last summer

At first it seemed to be an ocean-watching trip When

we finally spotted a whale I was shocked It was just

floating looking like an island It didnt look like a whale

Then the island dove into the ocean In seconds the

whale popped up again Then the whale leaped high out

of the ocean showering us with chilly seawater As the

whale dove quickly back into the waves it flapped its

huge fanlike tail That tail was bigger than our boat

Bye I yelled as I waved feeling like I was saying

goodbye to an old friend Mom and I had seen what we

came for a giant whale What a great trip

Search In my final paragraph I added a

simile and adjectives to describe what things bull middot I bullbull _ tmiddot

looked and felt like whale What similes could you use in your descriptive paragraph
