WOODWORD'S CORNER

Dear Readers,

Anticipation— that means looking forward and I’m looking forward to summer, vacation times and the pages here fill me with all sorts of ideas and topics that put a smile on my face starting with Laughter Around the World. Amazing that all those different jokes from different countries all have the same punchline. Did you get it?

On my list of things to do is making a gravity powered racecar. The page on Axles explains the importance of creating an axle so the wheels will move! Yep— that would be key!

I’m also planning to read Mark Twain’s classic story of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

Tom got up to all kinds of mischief with his friends Huck,

Joe and Becky. One thing I won’t do is sit in the sun to read now that I understand the damage the sun can do to skin. The page on Sunburns explains all that.

And I’m not going to get too close to an Alligator or a Crocodile. But at least I’ll be able to tell the difference between the two.

The page on Mangoes makes me think of summer smoothies or ice cream topped with mango. That is such a treat. And just for fun, the Amusement Park Vacation has a ton of great puzzles which makes me look forward to summer even more.

Enjoy your summer vacation, wherever you are, whatever your plans, have fun and laughter on your vacation. Keep reading. It’s important to read throughout the summer so that when school comes around again, you’re not behind and you don’t have to re-learn. We will look forward to our next edition when we can put pages together for you again.
