July 2014 – Letter from Truman
Hi, Kids!
It’s summer time! School is out and many of you are getting ready to go to camp or on vacation. One of my favorite places to go on vacation is the beach. From the time I was a little dragon, I would take my shovel and sand bucket and dig and dig at the beach. Sometimes, I would unearth cool things like shells. One time, I unearthed a big crab that wasn’t too happy with me! I ran pretty fast that day. While I didn’t find anything really old, there is a group of people who use their shovels to unearth history. They are called archaeologists. In this issue, you can read all about what an archaeologists does, and even read about some of the things they have found. Fortunately, nothing they found has chased them yet!
Also in this issue you will read about the heat index. I know most of us don’t need anyone to tell us it’s hot, but we do need to know how dangerous the weather is and what getting too hot can do to us! So before you go out to play this summer, take a minute to check out the heat index — you’ll be glad you did!
Your Friend,
