There's nothing better than a great big smile! And do you know what helps a great big smile? Clean teeth and fresh breath. All it takes is just four minutes every day. Two minutes in the morning and two minutes before bed. Don't you think a happy smile is worth a few minutes every day? To help you remember healthy habits for your teeth, Paco has created a new Read & Find Dentist Edition! Can you find all the toothy treasures?
       'They sure are handy

        So keep your teeth
             around a while! '

Paco had an awesome day at the beach playing volleyball in the sand. What a brilliant way to spend the last days of summer! Beach volleyball requires a lot of counting to keep score. It was a great trick to get Paco thinking about math again.

Are you ready to get your math skills going to? Just print Paco's Volleyball Math Puzzle and have some fun with numbers. Can you match all the squares correctly to reveal the beach scene?

School has started in a lot of places both virtually and in person. Luckily, in some places, the summer weather is still here for us to enjoy. ​Paco had a great day this week when he visited a water park. It was his one and only visit to a water park this year and, "It was glorious," Paco said! Were you able to swim or play at a water park this summer? 

Keep the summer alive with Paco's Water Park Matching Game. Print the activity sheet below, cut out the pictures, and splash right into a fun matching game. Then watch Paco swim in one of his favorite vocabulary videos. Oh how Paco just loves to swim...

Hot Air Balloon

9/10/2020

Paco saw an amazing display of hot air balloons this week. So many beautiful colors across the sky.  Seeing those big balloons in the air got Paco thinking about where the hot air balloon came from... so he asked some questions!

Turns out the first hot air balloon to carry a person was made in France for a King and Queen all the way back in 1783.  Paco also learned who the first passengers were to take flight in the hot air balloon before the person did. He would have never guessed but it was a sheep, a duck, and a rooster! What a sight that must've been. 

Ready to have some fun with patterns and balloons in Paco's latest What Comes Next? activity. Check out the Hot Air Balloon edition to see if you can finish all the patterns in the worksheet below.
