NonfictionAnt FarmersItÕs easy to spot leaf-cutter ants. Just look for long lines of hundreds or eventhousands of ants carrying small pieces of leaves over their heads. Ants often clearpaths from their nests to their leafy food sources. This helps them march back and forthquickly and easily.Leaf-cutter ants climb plants and trees and saw off bits of leaves with their powerfuljaws. The leaf bits are often bigger than the ants are. These ants can carry up to 10 timestheir own weight. ThatÕs like a third grader carrying an adult zebra over his head!Leaf-cutter ants trek back in long lines to their underground nest. The nest may haveover 1,000 rooms connected by tunnels. Millions of ants live together there. The ants aredifferent sizes, and each size has a different job. They are workers, soldiers, queens, orguards. No single ant is in charge. Each ant has its job and does it.Leaf-cutter ants are the farmers of the insect world. Deep down in this huge nest arefungus Ògardens.Ó The ants bring their leaf clippings here. New leaves are chewed byworker ants, mixed with saliva, and fertilized. The newest leaf bits are placed on top ofthe garden. Underneath, older bits grow into nutritious food.The smallest ants have the job of ÒfarmingÒ the fungus gardens. Sometimes, a partof the garden may start to go bad. The ant farmers squirt acid from their bodies on thatsection of the garden to keep poisons from growing there.The fungus gardens are important. They provide extra food for the entire colony. Allof the ants work together to ensure that the colony has plenty of food. Carson-Dellosa CD-104888104888 INT 3.indd 551/8/16 11:02 AM

FictionThe Ants and the Grasshopperby Aesop (adapted)One bright day in late autumn, a family of ants was bustling about in the coolsunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer. A hungrygrasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged them for a biteto eat.ÒWhat!Ó the ants cried in surprise. ÒHavenÕt you stored anything away for the winter?What in the world were you doing all last summer?ÓÒI didnÕt have time to store up any food,Ó the grasshopper whined. ÒI was so busymaking music that before I knew it, the summer was gone.ÓThe ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.ÒMaking music, were you?Ó they cried. ÒVery well. Now, dance!Ó And they turnedtheir backs on the grasshopper and went on with their work.6104888 INT 3.indd 6 Carson-Dellosa CD-1048881/8/16 11:02 AM

NonfictionThe Oregon TrailThe Oregon Trail was a path pioneers followed to get to the West. Pioneers wantedto start farms in new places. Many people traveled along the trail in large coveredwagons.Pioneers had to leave most of their things behind. Food, tools, and clothing werepacked into the wagons. People brought bacon, beans, coffee, and flour to eat. Manypacked tents to sleep in. They brought tools like shovels and axes for building things.Oxen were used to pull the wagons over the trail. People would often walk beside theirwagons as they moved along.The trail began in Missouri and stretched all of the way to Oregon. It was many mileslong and went through five different states. The trail was rough. Pioneers had to crossthe Rocky Mountains. That was the most dangerous part of the journey. It took mostpioneers about five months to make the trip.Many people used the trail until a railroad was built. The railroad was a faster andsafer way to travel to the West. Today, much of the trail has been built over, but some ofit remains. Visitors can still see the tracks made by the wagon wheels. Carson-Dellosa CD-104888104888 INT 3.indd 991/8/16 11:02 AM

Each day we see herds of elk and buffalo.It will be a nice change to eat something other than beans andbacon.Yesterday, we found an abandoned wagon. I wondered whathappened to the people who were traveling in it, but we neededthe extra supplies. We found two wagon wheels and some usedcooking pots.I have begun to make friends with other families on the trail. Weexplore together and help gather food. Ma needs me to look aftermy little brother and help cook meals for us. Traveling on the trail isso much more work than living on the farm.
