Substitute MeanyBy Kelly Hashway
Jacob walked into school with a smile on his face.
He loved Fridays.
“Hey,” Michael said, walking up alongside him. “I
heard you have a substitute today.”
“Who is it?” Jacob asked, hoping for Mr. Smith, the
nicest substitute at school. The students all referred to him
as Mr. Smiley.
“Mr. Meany,” Michael said.
Jacob gulped. If the students had nicknamed the substitute Mr. Meany, he must be
awful!
“See ya!” Michael patted Jacob on the back and turned into his classroom.
Jacob slowed his pace, imagining a monster of a substitute teacher. He probably had
big bushy eyebrows that slanted downward when he scowled at the students. And his voice!
Jacob imagined it to be a booming voice that shook the classroom walls. Jacob shivered.
“You ready for Mr. Meany?” Cassie asked, meeting Jacob at the classroom door.
Jacob gulped and stopped in the doorway. The bell rang, and Jacob heard footsteps
coming toward him. Loud, scary footsteps.
“Are you in this class, young man?”
Jacob kept his head lowered and said, “Um...yes.”
“Please find your seat then.”
Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com
Jacob finally looked up when he heard the word “please.” Someone mean wouldn’t
be so polite, would they?
“Is something wrong?” Mr. Meany asked.
Jacob just stared. Mr. Meany didn’t have a booming voice or bushy, slanted eyebrows.
“Are you Mr. Meany?”
The man nodded and smiled. “I see the name fooled you.”
“I thought...” Jacob wasn’t sure he should tell Mr. Meany how the students gave the
substitute teachers nicknames.
“That I got my name because I’m mean?” Mr. Meany laughed. “I get that a lot.” He
leaned down and whispered, “Why don’t you take your seat and give me a chance to show
you I’m not mean at all?”
Jacob nodded and walked to his seat. The morning passed quickly, mostly because
Mr. Meany was a lot of fun. Jacob didn’t even mind taking his math test because Mr. Meany
did a cheer at the front of the room before the test and made everyone laugh.
When it was lunchtime, Jacob stood and walked up to Mr. Meany. “See you after
lunch, Mr. Not-a-Meany,” Jacob said with a smile.
Mr. Meany smiled back.

Dolphins and PorpoisesBy Guy Belleranti
Porpoises and dolphins are fascinating
and beautiful sea creatures. They are in the
group of whales called toothed whales.
Many people think dolphins and
porpoises are fish, but this is simply not true.
They are mammals, just like dogs, cats, horses,
cows, deer, and humans. Like all mammals,
dolphins and porpoises are warm-blooded,
which means their body temperature always
stays the same. While most other animals are
born from eggs, mammals are born alive. Also,
mammals have lungs and breathe air. Dolphins
and porpoises need to come up to the surface
of the water to breathe through the blowhole
in the top of their heads.
Most porpoises and dolphins eat fish,
squid, and crustaceans. However, the largest
species of dolphin, the orca, also hunts seals,
penguins, walruses, and whales.
Both porpoises and dolphins use echolocation. This means they send out sounds and
then listen for the echoes bouncing back. Echolocation helps them find food and escape
predators.
Both porpoises and dolphins are toothed whales. However, porpoise teeth are
shaped differently than dolphin teeth. Dolphins have sharp, cone-shaped teeth, but
porpoise teeth are spade-shaped and flatter.
Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com
Their bodies are shaped differently, too. Porpoises are shorter with more rounded
beaks and bodies. The dorsal fins on their backs are also shorter and less pointed. Dolphins,
on the other hand, have longer, more pointed beaks. Their dorsal fins are taller and more
pointed too.
Porpoises are usually under seven feet (two meters) long. Many dolphins are over ten
feet (three meters). Orcas can grow over twenty feet (six meters) long.
The life span of a dolphin is usually much longer than the life span of a porpoise.
Dolphins can live 50 or more years. Porpoises seldom live longer than 15 years.
Dolphins are very social animals. They live in large groups called pods, with up to a
dozen individuals. Dolphins enjoy interacting with humans. Sometimes they swim beside
boats and make whistling and chirping sounds as they talk. Porpoises are much more shy
than dolphins, and they tend to avoid human interaction. They usually live in smaller pods
of 2 to 4 individuals. Their sounds can’t be heard by our ears.
