Semester 1 Reviw

Passage:
Recycling is an important way to help protect our environment. When we recycle materials like paper, plastic, and glass, we reduce the amount of trash that ends up in landfills. Recycling also saves energy because it takes less power to reuse materials than to create new ones from scratch. Many cities offer recycling programs to make the process easy for families. By sorting items into the correct bins, everyone can help keep the earth clean.

Jayden kicked a pebble down the sidewalk as the sun stretched its lazy arms across the early morning sky. He was on his way to his grandmother’s house—a place that always felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. Today, however, he carried a knot in his stomach.

Yesterday, his grandmother had called and asked him to stop by because she had “something important” to tell him. Those words echoed in his mind like a drum beating in the distance.

When he reached her porch, Jayden hesitated. The wooden steps creaked like they were whispering secrets. He finally knocked, and his grandmother opened the door with her usual smile. The knot in his stomach loosened.

“Come in, baby,” she said. “I’ve got something special for you.”
