Astronaut Reveals Ancestor's Past
Hi! Aviva Rosen is here interviewing Astronaut, Hannah Smith, the Kennedy Space Center's #1 astronaut. She is going to tell us about her great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather John Smith.

A:  Is your ancester John Smith
the John Smith that came to Jamestown,Virginia in 1607?
H: You betcha! He was one of the leaders of the colony.  He thought Jamestown was a good place, but he was wrong!  There were mosquitoes, and people died from diseases carried by them.
A:  Thanks!!!
H:  Bye bye!!!

We visited the Kennedy Space Center and Jamestown during our tour of the SE Region.

Is It True?
Oh no is it true? Is Bunnicula a vampire?  Chester, the cat, and Harold, the dog, are being interviewed!

R:  Chester, why do you think Bunnicula is a vampire?
C:  I personally think Bunnicula is a vampire because he has fangs and a v shape in black on his back. He gets out at night and sucks the juice out of vegetables.
H:  Chester, why are you being so bossy?
C:  I�m smart and you're not.
R:  Harold, why do you think Bunnicula is so harmless?
H:  Because he is harmless and probably wouldn�t hurt a fly!
R:  Why do you think that?
H:  Because he�s so small and if Chester puts a steak on him and smashes his fist in his heart again Bunnicula will die!
R:  Chester, why do you want to destroy Bunnicula?
C:  I didn�t want to destroy him, I wanted to see if he was a vampire.
R:  Why were you so sad when Chester was kicked out of the house?
H:  Well, actually I was kind of happy because I got steak and he wouldn�t hurt Bunnicula any more, but I was also a little guilty.
R:  Why do you believe in the book, Mark of the Vampire?  Is what it says true?
C:  It's true because all books I read are true.
R:  Mrs. Monroe, what do you have to say about this situation with your bunny, dog, and cat?
MM:  I have to say my bunny is not a vampire, and if Chester doesn't stop he'll be in trouble.  I adore my dog, Harold.  Isn't that right, Harold?  Isn't that right, Harold?
H:  Woof!  Woof!

Math Attack
Math is very interesting!  Eli says, "Fractions are fun and very easy.  We just had a quiz on division."

Ma'ayan and Vered say, "We're learning perimeter, area, and volume."  Ma'ayan likes perimeter and Vered likes area.

Puzzle:
1.  I am a regular octagon.  My side are 5 feet each.  What is my perimeter?
