Our visit was to meet author Steven Butler. As a child, Butler hated reading but discovered how fun books could be through playing tricks with his sister. He has since written 7 books, with 5 being published. Some of his inspirations come from Roald Dahl books like "The Twits" and "The BFG". Students were challenged to write a diary entry from the perspective of the character Dennis from Butler's "Diary of Dennis the Menace" series.

His experiences as a substitute teacher during desegregation inspired some of his book characters. As one of the first children's authors to attract both boys and girls to reading, he made horror accessible and enjoyable for young readers, influencing the genre.Book review slides

The Chinese New Year originated from an ancient legend about a mythical beast called Nian that people feared would attack them every year before the new year. To protect themselves, people put up red decorations and set off firecrackers to scare Nian away. Now, Chinese New Year traditions include cleaning the house, spending time with family, giving money in red envelopes, visiting others, and lighting lanterns at the end of celebrations for the Lantern Festival. Common greetings for Chinese New Year wish others happiness, prosperity, and good luck in the new year.Be e safe

Global warming will cause climate change and increased temperatures, more extreme weather like tornados, and loss of animal life and habitats being destroyed. The causes of global warming include burning fossil fuels, deforestation, pollution, and landfill waste. To address global warming, the world can use renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels, reduce industrial pollution and emissions, and use resources more efficiently through practices like reducing, reusing, recycling, composting, and conserving energy and water.Causes of climate change

Climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels and electricity usage, which release carbon dioxide that traps heat in the atmosphere and warms the Earth. Small actions like turning off lights and devices when not in use, recycling, reducing waste, reusing items, and choosing low-carbon transportation options can help prevent further climate change. If everyone made these small changes, climate change would cease to be a problem.Causes of climate change and how we reduce
