"Wow, Max! Should we take a trip to Mercury?" Henry exclaimed. "Absolutely, Henry! Let's go!" Sam replied. "Henry, did you know that Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun?" Sam asked. "Yes! It's only about 36 million miles away from the Sun. That's less than half the distance from the Earth to the Sun!" Henry replied. As the spaceship hovered above Mercury's surface, Sam said, "Henry, it's super hot here during the day. Temperatures can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit!" "But at night," Henry added, "it gets really cold, as low as -290 degrees Fahrenheit. That's quite a swing! Imagine how difficult it would be to live here." Henry and Sam decided to wear their special space suits that kept them cool during the scorching day and warm during the freezing night. They stepped onto the planet's rocky ground, feeling a bit like explorers on a new world. While walking around, they spotted a small, friendly robot. "Hi there! I'm Mercury's Messenger. I was sent to gather information about this planet. Would you like to learn some fun facts?" "Sure!" Henry and Sam said in unison. "Mercury doesn't have an atmosphere like Earth," said the Messenger. "That's why its surface is covered in craters. The lack of air also means there's no wind, and the sky is always black, even during the day." "Wow! That's so different from Earth," Henry said. "How long is a day on Mercury?" The Messenger replied, "One day on Mercury lasts about 59 Earth days. But it orbits the Sun quickly, taking just 88 Earth days to complete one revolution. So, a year on Mercury is shorter than two Mercury days!" As they approached Earth, Henry said, "Sam, we learned so much about Mercury today! It's a fascinating place, but definitely not suitable for humans to LIVE." "You're right, Henry. But it was an incredible adventure, and I'm glad we got to explore it together," Sam replied with a smile.

In Mr. C's 3rd-grade classroom, Daleyza, Leon, and Nevelyn discover a hidden portal behind the class library—a shimmering doorway that leads to a magical world called Taskoria. In Taskoria, everyone’s thoughts and actions create magical energy that keeps the world alive and beautiful. However, Taskoria is in danger because its energy is dwindling—many of its citizens have stopped contributing, distracted by laziness and negativity. Guided by Lumina, a glowing creature made of pure light, the trio learns that their attitudes and choices can shape this magical world. Daleyza’s infectious positivity, Leon’s quiet determination to say no to distractions, and Nevelyn’s courage to finish her tasks despite temptations inspire the citizens of Taskoria to reclaim their purpose. The children must face trials: a field of forgetfulness that tempts them to quit, a tricky jester who tries to distract them, and a cloud of doubt that dims their light. By staying true to themselves and working together, they restore Taskoria’s energy, learning that doing the right thing—even when others don’t—is the most magical act of all. When they return to Mr. C’s classroom, they realize that the lessons they’ve learned are just as powerful in the real world. And as they share their story, they inspire their classmates to work hard, stay positive, and make good choices, turning the classroom into a place of everyday magic.

Once upon a time, in a dense green forest, there lived a clever fox named Felix. Felix was known for his quick thinking and sharp wit. One sunny afternoon, while Felix was relaxing under a tree, he heard the rustle of leaves. It was a hungry wolf named Bruno, prowling for food. Bruno spotted Felix and growled, “Ah, Felix! You’ll make a fine meal for me today!” Felix, though startled, didn’t show fear. Instead, he smiled and said, “Oh, mighty Bruno! Eating me would be such a waste. I’m too small to fill your big tummy. But I know where you can find a huge feast!” Bruno paused and asked suspiciously, “Where is this feast?” Felix pointed toward the nearby well and said, “Look inside. There’s a fat, juicy lamb waiting at the bottom. You’ll love it!” Bruno rushed to the well. He peered inside and saw his own reflection in the water. Thinking it was the lamb, he leapt in, only to splash into the cold water! Felix laughed from the edge of the well, saying, “Dear Bruno, always look before you leap!” Felix trotted off happily, leaving Bruno drenched and grumpy.

In the vast grasslands of South America, where the sun shines brightly and the wind whispers through tall grasses, lived a curious creature called the maned wolf. With his reddish-brown coat and bushy tail that looked like a flame, he was a sight to behold. His name came from the mane of fur around his neck, which made him look a little like a fox and a little like a wolf. One day, as the maned wolf was exploring the grasslands, he heard a piercing cry. Looking up, he saw a magnificent bird soaring high above. It was an aplomado falcon, with sharp eyes and powerful wings. The falcon swooped down towards the ground, its claws outstretched. The maned wolf watched with wide eyes as the falcon landed near a small burrow. With a quick flick of its wings, the falcon pounced on something hidden inside. It emerged moments later, carrying a small rodent in its beak. The maned wolf was intrigued. He had never seen a falcon hunt before. As the falcon flew away, the maned wolf approached the burrow. He sniffed around curiously, until he caught a whiff of something delicious. It was the rodent that the falcon had caught! The maned wolf realized that the falcon was a skilled hunter, and that its prey could be a tasty meal for him. From that day on, the maned wolf and the falcon became friends. The maned wolf would watch as the falcon hunted, and then he would scavenge for any leftovers. In return, the maned wolf would warn the falcon of any danger lurking in the tall grasses. Their friendship was a great benefit to both animals. The maned wolf had a steady supply of food, while the falcon knew that it could rely on the maned wolf to keep watch. And so, they lived happily ever after, a reminder that even the most unlikely creatures can form the most beautiful friendships.
