Many Moons

Native Americans had special names for every full moon of the year. One name for the October full moon is the “Yellow Leaf Moon,” as the changing colors of the leaves signal a new season!

Pumpkin Record

The current record for the world’s heaviest pumpkin is 2702 pounds!

OCTOBER

The name “October” comes from the Latin word for “eight” — but it’s the tenth month! What gives? In the Roman calendar, it WAS the eighth month, but then January and February were added when the calendar was revised, and October kept its name.

Lepidopterist

word play

A “Lepidopterist” is someone who collects or studies butterflies.

Vegetable of the Month: Green Peas

Peas are high in fiber and protein -- and a cup of peas even provides 98% of your daily vitamin C! Researchers have recently found that peas also contain a unique blend of cancer-fighting substances called “phyto-nutrients.”

this month: olives

There are some foods that most kids don’t like, but most adults do. Why? It’s a mystery! Take olives, for instance. If you’re a kid, chances are that you won’t touch them. And no wonder -- they have a strong flavor and are also quite salty. But some grocery stores sell dozens of different kinds. SOMEBODY must be eating all those olives. Guess who? ADULTS!
