Happy Thanksgiving! Paco is grateful for YOU, all of his postcard friends and his family. What are you grateful for? 

Paco had a wonderful day with his family. They played board games, watched football on the television and then played their own game of football in the backyard. They also ate a lot of delicious food. Paco still feels full! Are you feeling full too?

While you relax and enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend, you can try to solve Paco's Thanksgiving word search. It includes some of Paco's favorite things! Can you find them all?

Have you ever played chess? Paco just played last week! Did you know, the longest chess game in recorded history lasted 269 moves and actually ended in a draw. A "draw" means that no one won - they tied! Can you believe that? That must have been a really long game. The average game only lasts 38 moves and takes anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes to play.

If you want to learn how to play, or teach a friend who does not know, Paco has a really cool video that teaches all of the moves. Check it out!

He also created a cheat sheet for you, a board and all of the pieces. It can be hard to remember what moves each piece can make, so the cheat sheet really comes in handy! Find a friend or family member to play with and have fun. 

Paco had a great visit at the hospital this week. Have you ever visited someone in the hospital? A visit with a friend is great medicine. Whether is a simple runny nose or a more serious need for surgery, sometimes friends and family members just need a little pick me up! Join Paco in creating a Get Well Card for anyone in your life who isn't feeling their best.  

Just download the pdf, print the cards, fold along the lines, write a special message and make someone's day extra special. Be well friends! 

Do you like to camp? ​Paco had a great campout under the stars with his dad this week! Sleeping outside when the sky is clear and the weather is warm can be a lot of fun. To share some of the best parts of camping Paco has created a new Read & Find with lots of camping items. How many of the little treasures can you find on Paco's Camping Edition worksheet?

Paco learned a little bit about the planet Venus on his campout. Did you know that Venus is the third brightest object in the sky? The moon and sun are the only objects brighter! Sometimes you can even see Venus during the day. 

Check out the Kids Learning Tube Venus Facts Video.  What do you think Paco's favorite fact about Venus might be? Let him know in the comments below.
