Happy September,
We live in an age of information that can
take us on adventures, give us access to
knowledge, help us fulfil our dreams and
lead us on to success in our lives. We all
want that.
We can achieve these goals by becoming
better readers. Kid Scoop News helps you
read and the more you read, the better you
will read. So much depends on reading,
from computer lessons to texts on phones.
We use our Brain to read,
and so we have a page
here to show you how a
brain works. Frederick
Douglass was able to read
and write even though he
was enslaved. He went on to
write a book about his life
and he helped end slavery.
September 17 is Constitution Day and one
of the freedoms given us by the
Constitution is the right to freedom of
speech. Our spotlight page will help you
understand what that means.
And this issue has lots of fun things to do
too from Outdoor Games that involve
getting some exercise, to Space Rocks that
explains all those rocks hurtling through
space and then a page on Gorillas and how
to draw one.
I'm ready to read, read, read.
This year I'm going to expand my
mind and I hope you are too.

Standards Link: Life Science: Students know animals have structures that serve different functions in survival.
Draw a line connecting each
pair of beetles that match.
eetles have a special body part
that makes them, well,
beetles. This special body part is a
hard exo-skeleton that covers their
wings. Called elytra (El-ih-truh),
these hard "wings" provide
protection and more. Some beetles
trap moisture on their wings,
allowing them to survive in the
desert. Other kinds of beetles are
able to live under water because
they trap air in their wings and
keep it under the elytra.
