SEPTEMBER
OPTICAL ILLUSION
Stare at the
center of the figure for a while. Some ‘scintillating’ activity will
build up in the violet and blue annuli. Some observers also report a
circular rotation within these regions; things will begin to “run around
in circles”.

SEPTEMBER
GAME o' THE MONTH - RED
LIGHT /
GREEN LIGHT
In this game, one person
plays the "stop light" and the rest try to touch him/her. At the
start, all the kids form a line about 15 feet away from the stop light.
The stop light faces away from the line of kids and says "green
light". At this point the kids are allowed to move towards the
stoplight. At any point, the stop light may say "red light!" and
turn around. If any of the kids are caught moving after this has occurred,
they are out. Play resumes when the stop light turns back around and says
"green light". The stop light wins if all the kids are out
before anyone is able to touch him/her. Otherwise, the first player to
touch the stop light wins the game and earns the right to be "stop
light" for the next game.

SOME OF
OUR METRO McKIDS
THE
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
On the first day back to school, the teacher asked to the class: 'Everyone that thinks they're idiots, stand up!'
After a moment of silence, a pupil stood up. The teacher asked: Why did you stand up? Do you think you're an idiot?
The pupil answered:' No sir, but I felt bad for you because you were the only one standing up!' |

Kids... Grab a
calculator. When you type in each number below in blue, turn
your calculator upside down for the real answer. Only kids in the
Kalculator Klub will know my secret message.
Hi kids. No need to
5514 and 008, lace up your
53045 and get ready for school. If you're not sure what to bring, play my
376608 or search it on 376006. I wouldn't
317, you are in for a lot of 5376616 on your first day. Oh, and make sure to print well. You don't want your teacher to say your writing is
378163771.

First, check corners of shoe box and use tape to close any gaps, rips, or tears.
Cover shoe box with yellow construction paper using a glue stick to attach to sides, and tape to close at ends and corners.
Cover lid with green construction paper using glue stick and tape. Paint the sides and inside of small box blue and the lid red. Set aside to dry.
Cut bottom off of plastic bottle about 3” up. (NOTE: Get a parent to help--the edge of the bottle can be sharp.)
Make sure to recycle remaining portion of bottle. Glue orange felt strip around the top of the opening of the plastic bottle. Felt should overlap on inside and outside of bottle opening to cover cut edges.
Cut a piece of green construction paper in a circle to fit the bottom of the bottle and glue in place. Set aside to dry.
Decorate the outside of the box with school-themed stamps. We used an apple, crayons, and star. Paint each foam stamp and press firmly on to the construction paper. Lift directly up to remove. Let dry.
Use school bus stamp to add a bus to the lid. Use white craft glue to attach the red lid, blue box and bottle bottom to the lid of your school supply box. Allow to dry completely.
Then, use black marker to add a simple math equation to the side of the box.
Use black marker to write “school” on the side of the bus. Dot on red paint for the tail light using the handle end of a paintbrush or a
toothpick. When everything is dry, fill box with supplies. When you are using the supplies, fill the bottle with crayons, lids with glue, scissors, eraser, and pencil
sharpener or whatever you need to have on hand.
