The Mysterious Footprints
Early one morning, Sam walked through the park on his way to school. The grass was wet with dew and the air felt cool. As he passed the big oak tree, he noticed something strange on the muddy path.
There were large footprints that he had never seen before. They were much bigger than a dog’s paw and deeper than normal shoe prints. Sam looked around, but the park was completely quiet.
Curious, he followed the footprints across the grass and towards the pond. Suddenly, the prints stopped. Sam stared at the ground, puzzled. Whatever had made the footprints seemed to have disappeared.
Just then, he heard a loud splash from the pond behind him.
R- What did Sam notice on the muddy path?
I- What might have made the loud splash in the pond?
C- Why do you think the author used the word “mysterious” in the title?

LC: Know how to carry out our shared responsibility to care for the environment.
All life on Earth depends on the environment. The natural resources that come from the environment include food, water, plants, and minerals. Sustainability is the idea that humans must interact with the environment in a way that ensures there will be enough resources left for future generations.
There are now more than seven billion people on Earth. These billions of people use the planet’s resources every day. Human activity has harmed the environment in many ways. Some of the resources that people use cannot be replaced once they are used. People also use huge amounts of fossil fuels, which has led to pollution and other problems. Sustainability addresses ways to protect and conserve the environment.
