AT-AT
AT-ATs are about the most awesome Star Wars
vehicles! These were used by both the Empire
and the First Order to try to walk right over
their enemies, and they are pretty indestructible
(unless they step in tauntaun poop, then they
take forever to clean). You can see them in
multiple Star Wars™ movies, video games,
and more. They have become one of the most
recognized symbols of the Star Wars universe!

UNDERWATER EXPLORER
GRACE YOUNG.
Did you know that scientists and
explorers have been living underwater
for years now? An engineer named
Grace Young spent two weeks living
in an underwater habitat called the
Aquarius – an air-filled living space not
much bigger than a school bus.
While she was inside, Grace
adapted a high-speed camera for
use underwater that’s fast enough
to catch underwater critters in
action. She has filmed all kinds of
creatures with her camera, like the
mantis shrimp, which hides and then
snatches prey. She’s also filmed how

Science class this month has been all about the things you
can find under the sea. Not only are there shipwrecks and
treasures down there, but also thousands of different species
of marine life. Most of the planet Earth is made up of oceans,
but we have barely explored any of it. Scientists and explorers
discover new and exciting things about the ocean every day.

GET YOUR
STUFF IN ORDER! School work is way
easier if you have
everything you need
right where you can
get it.
Building a desk
organizer like this one
is a great way to start
and it’s something
you’ll use every day.
You can build and
design one with the
LEGO® bricks you
have at home.
There are other things you
can do, too, to help get your
school year started right:
• Clean any clutter off your
desk. Anything you don’t
need to do your work
with should be put away
someplace.
• Keep your stuff together -
all your pencils and pens
should go in one spot,
notebooks and folders
in another.
• Get a calendar so you
can write down when
your assignments are due,
and other important dates
to remember.
EASY AS A, B, C …
Build yourself a nameplate for your room using pieces from your LEGO® collection.
