Box 1802 Sonoma, CA 95476 © 2020 by Vicki Whiting 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. Dear Readers, Wearing a Mask ........ Freedom of Speech ... Space Rocks ..............

Box 1802 Sonoma, CA 95476 © 2020 by Vicki Whiting 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. 2 What do snowmen call their kids? Chill-dren. Goodbye 2020! What a crazy year! And HELLO and WELCOME 2021. I want to start the new year with lots of intentions to make this a happy new year. I want to read more, learn more, eat better, discover new things, save more, explore and have fun. What are your new year resolutions? I can find fun in these pages by reading about The Kraken who was reported to roam the deep oceans and ambush ships. Beware The Kraken! It would be great if you could actually interview a rhinoceros. The word "rhinoceros" comes from two Greek words: rhino meaning nose and ceros meaning horn. There are lots of fascinating insights on these pages and there's a step by step of how to draw one too. Concentration is an important skill and if there's a way to improve my powers of concentration, then count me in. More on that on pages 14 and 15. The power of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were to energize individuals, bridge barriers and create solutions to social problems. We do well to remember his words and his legacy each year on January 16. We have a whole new year to look forward to. Let's embrace it, set goals to be better and look forward to good health and happiness. Dear Readers, News ........................ Ask a Rhinoceros ...... The Power of Words ...
