Meet the New Pandas!

SAN DIEGO — California's governor flew to San Diego for a special ceremony. Newspaper, radio, TV, and internet journalists came by the hundreds. The city of San Diego warned of traffic jams. Why all this excitement? Pandas! In August 2024, the San Diego Zoo welcomed visitors to see a new pair of young pandas for the first time in 20 years. To encourage friendship between countries, the Chinese government has loaned pandas to zoos around the world. These furry friends have long been a symbol of friendship between the United States and China, ever since Beijing gave a pair of pandas to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., back in 1972. During his meeting with President Joe Biden in San Francisco last November, Chinese President Xi Jinping said he was “ready to continue our cooperation with the United States on panda conservation.” A pair of very special visitors are back at California’s San Diego Zoo

The Goliath bird eater tarantula is the biggest spider on the planet. It is also the hairiest. But is it the scariest? Some people think so. They think a bite from this big tarantula can kill a person. The reality is that no one has ever died from a tarantula bite. Tarantulas don’t want to bite people. They only attack what they want to eat. If a tarantula loses a leg, it can grow a new one. In fact, a tarantula will chew off and eat its own injured leg in order to get a new, healthy leg.

So big that it could cover your entire face!

First the tarantula ______ and paralyzes its prey. Then it pumps _______ from its stomach into its intended meal. The stomach fluid ______ the inside of the prey to liquid. The spider then slurps the liquid and ________ the skin away.

Most spiders only live a

season or two. Not so for the tarantula. Some tarantulas can live 12 + 9 + 9 = _____ years.

While tarantulas don’t eat people, some people eat tarantulas. Some people who live in the jungles of French Guiana like to roast and eat these spiders. Sometimes they use the tarantula’s fangs to pick their teeth afterward.

A fire has started at 101 Flintstone Lane! How will everyone in the house know there is a fire?

By the time anyone in the family smells smoke, the fire could be too big for the people upstairs to get down the stairs. This is a job for Super Sniffer Blaster Bleepers, your life-saving smoke alarms!

Put smoke alarms in several places in your home:

Test smoke alarms each month to make sure they are working, and so you’ll know what they sound like when they go off. Replace old batteries with brand new ones at least once a year. Replace smoke alarms at least every 10 years. Keep smoke alarms dust free. Run the vacuum cleaner attachment over and around the alarms to clean away the dust. Each bedroom. Just outside all bedroom areas. At least one smoke alarm on each floor of the house. Near the kitchen, but more than 20 feet away, so that cooking smoke and steam don’t set it off.

Quick! Cut out each of the smoke alarms. Read the Super Snier Blaster Bleeper’s Smoke Alarm Tips to nd out where you should put each smoke alarm!

When you hear the loud noise, follow your family escape plan and get out fast!

A smoke alarm makes a VERY loud beeping noise to warn you that a re has started.

If your house caught on re at night, you might not see re, smell smoke, or wake up in time to get out safely. Smoke alarms can help. Smoke alarms are tools that can tell if there is smoke in the air. They work even if you can’t smell smoke!!

Long ago, when horses pulled fire trucks, Dalmatian dogs were used to help guide the horses through busy streets. Dalmatians have long been known for their ability to bond well with horses. Today, horses no longer pull fire trucks, but the Dalmatian has continued to be the firefighters’ mascot.

STUFF YOU’LL NEED:

water in a spray bottle

canning jars with lids

THE EXPERIMENT

1. 2.

Spray each piece of food with a little water. Place each piece of food in a separate jar, screw on the lid and write the food type and date on the top. Place the jars in different locations—in sunlight, a dark place (inside a paper bag would work), a cool place (in your refrigerator) and one in a warm place. Examine the jars everyday, observe the changes, and record how quickly food gets moldy.

Unlike plants, molds don’t grow from seeds. They grow from spores that float in the air. These spores multiply on damp food and the chemical they produce will make the food rot. Don’t open your jars as more spores are forming and could be released into the air. Molds can make people sick.

This issue provides you with a great way to discuss re safety with your children. Read the introduction on page 8—Smoke Sniers! Cut out the little smoke alarms. Then, glue smoke alarms in the drawing of the house as recommended by the Super Snier Blaster Beeper’s Smoke Alarm Tips. Fire departments around the country encourage people to test their smoke alarms this month as well. Let your kids test your smoke detectors with you. This helps to build a habit they will take into their adulthood. In school, kids practice re drills on a regular basis. They learn where to assemble and where to go when a re alarm sounds at school. But would they know what to do if there is a re in or near your home late at night? Gather as a family and come up with a plan. Then, at random times, call a re drill to make sure that everyone in the home knows exactly what to do in case of a re or other natural disaster. October is Fire Safety Month Family Home Fire Drill

How to Encourage Daily Reading Many studies have shown that reading is critical to school success. Beginning in kindergarten, if your child reads 20 minutes a day at home, he or she will have read (or heard) 1.8 million words per year, totaling 851 hours by 6th grade. And they will likely score higher than 90% of the other students on standardized tests!

Make reading a fun, daily adventure for your child!

EDITOR’S PICK by Vicki Whiting, Kid Scoop News W No Dragons for Tea By Jean E. Pendziwol • Illustrated by Martine Gourbault hile out for a walk with her mom, a little girl has the surprise of her life. She meets a real, live, re-breathing dragon!

Sit and read with your child. Make it a family fun activity. Turn o the TV and create a quiet space that is special for the two of you — a comfortable chair, couch or pillows — you could even go outside and sit under a tree. Let your child choose the spot. Set a regular time for reading. Read after school, after dinner, or just before bedtime. Stick to the schedule each and every day. Let your child choose what to read. Provide plenty of high interest reading materials, and let him choose which book, magazine article, or newspaper section he or she wants to work with. Take turns reading. “I read, you read.” You can do this with sentences, paragraphs, pages, or the whole article. As important as reading is, it can be a challenge to get children to sit and read for 20 minutes! Here are some tips that might help:

The little girl teaches her new friend to be re smart, too. With its funny, rhyming verse and spunky illustrations, Dragons for Tea shows kids that learning about re safety

doesn’t have to be scary. The story ends with The Dragon’s Fire Safety Rhyme , a fun and easy way to remember what to do in case of re.

Now this dragon is nothing to be afraid of — in fact, he’s so friendly that she invites him home for tea. But their afternoon snack is suddenly interrupted when the dragon sneezes and sets the table ablaze. Luckily, she knows just what to do.
