I see little brown birds in my yard and I'm wondering if it's a little curlew.
Harper

It's possible, Harper. Curlews have a long, thin curved bill. They also have a long neck and a small round head. Try taking a picture or writing a description of the birds the next time you see them. Write about their bodies, color, and actions. Then you can compare that bird to what you know about a curlew.

The United States government collects taxes from the people in order to pay for things like schools, roads, and hospitals. Tax day is the last day people can send the money they owe without getting in trouble.

Hi, Russ! My name is Maya and I am in 4th grade. I am so sad that 4th grade is about to end. My teacher is so nice, and in my opinion, she is the best 4th grade teacher ever.

Hi, Maya! I am so happy to hear that you love your teacher! And I'm sure your teacher would appreciate hearing it as well.

A new school year means more friends to make, people to meet, and topics to learn about! I hope you have a wonderful 5th grade. 😊

Hi, I am Valeska. Can you give me facts about Frida Kahlo?
Valeska

Sure thing, Valeska! Kahlo was born in Mexico City, Mexico, in 1907. She got a disease called polio when she was just 6 years old. That made her right leg much thinner than her left. Kahlo walked with a limp because of this. She started painting in 1925. One of her works is called “Self-Portrait in a Velvet Dress.” It is one of the first of many self-portraits that Kahlo would create in her life. These paintings of herself are still her most famous works today! 🖌️
Russ

How do we know when a hurricane happens?
David

Weather experts define hurricanes as a system of storms with winds circling at the center at speeds of 74 miles (119 km) per hour or more. They have special tools to measure wind speeds. Experts can also use tools in space to track how conditions like air pressure are affecting the creation of storms.
