January 2016 – Letter from Truman
Hi, Kids!
Welcome to 2016! It is a brand new year with all kinds of exciting possibilities! I always love a fresh start, and the new year is a great time to think about ways to improve myself and things I want to accomplish.
I think it is pretty amazing that in the entire world there is only one me – and only one you. The “Connections” section talks about some of the things that makes each of us unique. I love being a one-of-a-kind and I hope you do, too!
Speaking of one-of-a-kind things, I love to color. This month, I learned about a beautiful and colorful art form that involves sand. And the crazy thing is that once it is finished, the people that make it sweep it all away. Read all about it in the “Cultural Connections” section.
“What’s It Like to Be…” features a judge for the Guinness Book of World Records. I was really surprised to find out what a typical day is like for him.
As we welcome the new year, I hope that 2016 brings many fun and exciting things your way!
