STEAM Activity: Dancing Corn! 🌽

As we head into mid-Autumn, try this simple STEAM activity to get children excited about making observations and learning about chemical reactions. You'll only need items that you might already have in your kitchen: baking soda, vinegar, and corn kernels. And see how long you can keep these corn dancing!

November 17th is National Take a Hike Day--a day that encourages everyone to go outside and explore the trails! Hiking not only gives us an opportunity to experience Nature and the great outdoors, it also helps us get our bodies moving. Not only does hiking get our hearts pumping and our muscles moving, being outside is also good for our minds. And hiking can burn 400-550 calories per hour--another excellent reason to hit the trails!

Check out "California: 50 Hikes with Kids," by Wendy Gorton to get the family started on some simple local trails.

"Front exterior of the Lincoln Heights Senior Citizens Center"

The Senior Center in Lincoln Heights hasn't changed too much since 1980--the center still offers a variety of services for local community members who are 50 years old and older. Services include Arts and Crafts instruction, Brown Bag Food programs, English as a Second Language, Exercise classes, and Specialized Information and Referral. The Senior Center is temporarily closed at the moment but we hope community members will be able to visit them sometime soon!

October 20th is National Chicken and Waffles Day! Did you know that chicken and waffles have been around for more than 150 years? "And while no one knows who first put chicken and waffles on the same plate together, we do know the meal was a staple of both African-American cooks and the Pennsylvania Dutch." --nationaldaycalendar.com

October 15th is National Latino AIDS Awareness Day--a day that encourages prevention, testing, and open discussions related to HIV and AIDS within the Latino community.

In the Lincoln Heights community, there is an AIDS monument dedicated to loved ones located right here in Lincoln Park.

"The Wall-Las Memorias Project (TWLMP) was created with the mindset of bringing HIV/AIDS awareness to the Latino community. The movement began when founder, Richard Zaldivar was confronted with the news of a close friend testing positive for HIV. After observing the reaction and guilt in his friend, Richard was determined to create an avenue of dialogue dedicated to educating both his community and the rest of the world about HIV/AIDS prevention." --www.thewalllasmemorias.org

The monument is currently under renovations and the unveiling of the Wall Las Memorias AIDS Monument Rededication Ceremony will take place on World AIDS Day on December 1, 2021 at 6:30pm.
