four years since their last case of polio.
People Care
Rotarians have a short test with only four questions. Use the code
to discover the four questions Rotarians ask themselves about
everything they say or do.
Look through the
newspaper for
examples of three
people helping
others. Cut out their
pictures and/or
names and glue them
to a piece of paper.
Write one to three
sentences about how
these people are
helping others.
Standards Link: Research:
Use the newspaper to locate
information.
If everyone asked themselves these four questions before they said
or did something, how would it make the world a better place?

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recongized identical

Rotary in your town?
The noun decade means
a period of ten years.
It has been a decade
since we had flooding
in the area.
Try to use the word decade
in a sentence today when
talking with your friends
and family members.
Why tell
the truth?
Look through the newspaper to see if you can
find any examples of Rotarians at work in
your community. If not, find an example of a
community volunteer. Find a way to write and
send that person a thank you letter.
ANSWER: Fall.
Standards Link: Research: Use the newspaper to locate information.
ANSWER: A & D.
In 1988, when the Global Polio Eradication effort began,
there were 350,000 cases of wild polio each year—about
1,000 cases a day. To find out how many there were last
year, color in the spaces with two dots.
Tell about a time you were
tempted to lie but had the
courage to tell the truth.
