We celebrate America's Independence Day
with parades, pageantry and picnics and
how I look forward to those events
returning this year! But other places also
celebrate their own independence and so
in our Spotlight pages, we look to how
other countries celebrate their
Independence.
The STEM page this month looks at
Neptune. We won't be visiting any time
soon because it is icy, cold and windy but
it is beautiful to look at.
Rainforests are
threatened areas
throughout the world.
They are the homes to as
many as 30 million plants
and animals. This page has
a great coloring activity for
you all to enjoy.
Now that we can enjoy warm summer
days, let's all get out and get into some
Outdoor Games—Red Light, Green Light,
Freeze Tag and for great exercise and fun,
Ghost in the Graveyard!
Mythology and fantasy are topics many of
us relish reading in summer. The Greeks
believed that Pandora was responsible for
releasing the ills of humanity into the
world when she opened a mysterious box.
It's a great tale.
So, collect a blanket, go sit in the
garden, park or under a tree and
enjoy this July edition of Kid
Scoop News. I know I will.
Happy summer reading!

Here's an easy way to start a garden of your very own.
You'll need an adult helper, a sunny window and patience!
With an adult's help,
cut the top off an
empty milk carton.
Punch five small
holes in the bottom
of the carton for
drainage.
Fill the carton with soil
about an inch from the
top. Plant three to five
seeds and gently push
them into the soil.
Place your planter on
a plate in a window
and dampen the soil
with water.
