WITH PARKER PEER PRESSURE
“Brrriiinnnggg!”
It was time for Parker’s first day of school! This off-season Parker was learning how to become an even better mascot, and on today’s schedule was his favorite class - Dancing 101. He was very excited because he knew his buddy, Eddie the Owl, was in it with him!
Parker skipped all the way to the classroom door and entered with a roar, “I can’t wait for Dancing 101!” He immediately spotted Eddie in the second row and sat down next to his best friend with a thud. Parker unzipped his backpack and took out a notebook and pencil. As he looked around, he noticed the other students in front of him taking out lunch bags full of popcorn from their backpacks.
“Why do they have popcorn?” asked Parker towards Eddie.
4
“I don’t know, but I sure hope they eat that delicious snack!” hooted the owl. The door to the classroom suddenly swung open and in walked the teacher who was VERY tall and wore glasses.
“Good morning, my name is Mr. Umpire and we’re going to hit a home run in this class! This is Dancing 101, and I can’t wait to teach all of you how to become better performers!” “I like this teacher already,” whispered Parker towards the owl.
“Shh, it’s time to learn, Parker,” mumbled Eddie.
Mr. Umpire turned and started to write the lesson on the blackboard while all of the students started to copy his writing. After about 15 minutes, Parker noticed the kids in the front row whispering to one another. He then saw one of the students grab some popcorn that was on his desk. The kid threw the popcorn toward the back of Mr. Umpire’s head, hitting him. After the popcorn landed, another kid in the front row threw a second piece of popcorn. That piece also hit Mr. Umpire, but the teacher did not turn around. The multiple students started laughing. One of the kids turned to Parker and asked the bear, “Do you want to join in on the fun?”
“I didn’t bring any popcorn with me,” Parker said hesitantly.
5
“Here, take some of mine,” replied the kid as he gave Parker a handful.
The bear grabbed a couple of pieces in his paws and started the motion of throwing. “Wait! Parker, what are you about to do?” questioned Eddie as he grabbed Parker’s arm.
“I just want to try and fit in!” whispered the bear.
“Just because the other kids threw the popcorn doesn’t mean you have to be pressured into copying them,” Eddie reminded him.
The other kids continued to laugh and throw popcorn as Parker looked at
Eddie and asked, “But it really seems like the cool thing to do?”
“It isn’t!” Eddie replied, “Just because other people are doing it doesn’t mean you have to. Instead of throwing the popcorn, try tossing it into your mouth. That seems like more fun, less of a mess, and you get a snack!” Parker decided to listen to his friend Eddie and tossed a handful of popcorn into his mouth.
“Wow, this is really good! You were totally right, Eddie,” Parker said proudly.
One final piece of popcorn hit Mr. Umpire who spun around and asked, “Who is throwing popcorn?” Mr. Umpire looked at Parker right as he was going to grab another handful of his new, tasty, snack.
“Parker, I can’t believe you were throwing popcorn at me. I am very disappointed in
6
you,” scowled Mr. Umpire.
“Parker never threw the popcorn at you, Mr. Umpire, he was throwing them into his mouth like this,” chimed in Eddie, mimicking how Parker was eating the popcorn. “Thank you for looking out for your friend, Eddie,” cheered Mr. Umpire, “And to the students who were throwing the popcorn, I am very disappointed. We are here to dance and play, but throwing popcorn is not a good way to have fun.”
“We’re sorry Mr. Umpire!” said the front-row students in unison.
“Now that we have paused the popcorn, let’s get back to dancing,” celebrated Mr. Umpire. Parker, Eddie, and the other students listened to the rest of the dance lesson from Mr. Umpire, without any more popcorn being thrown.
As the class ended, Parker got up out of his seat and turned to Eddie, “Thank you for being such a good friend and teaching me a valuable lesson about peer pressure. I had fun learning from Mr. Umpire and I still got to eat popcorn!” The semester finished without any more popcorn being thrown and all of the students, including Parker, learned how to be even better dancers. Parker is so excited to show off his new moves in the 2023 season! Now it’s time to get up and dance! Go Grizzlies!

Take an 8.5 x 11 in. sheet of paper.
Fold corner up until it meets the other side.
Fold other corner up until it meets the other side.
Cut off the rectangle portion.
Unfold it. You should now have a square piece of paper divided into four triangles.
Fold one corner square into the center of the paper.

Repeat with all corners.
Leaving the paper folded, flip it over.
Once again, fold the four corners into the center of the paper.
Leaving the paper folded, fold it in half again.
Using both hands, slip your thumb and index finger under the square flaps.
Create the fortune-teller shape by pushing up and in at the same time. You may need to fiddle with the center a little as well.

How to Play Find a friend or family member and ask them to pick a color. Moving the flaps in and out and side to side in time with the letters, spell out the color they have chosen. Open the fortune teller to reveal the numbers and ask them to pick one. Count out the number they have chosen by moving the flaps in and out and side to side. Ask them to pick another number and count it out in the same manner. This time ask them to pick a third number and reveal the self-care activity you have written on the inside flap under that number. Do the self-care activity under the inside flap of the number selected!

Flatten out your fortune teller. When flat, the fortune-teller should be square. On one side of the square, you will see four smaller squares. On this side, you are going to put colors. You can either color the whole square, a part of the square, or write the name of the color. It’s up to you.
Flip the fortune-teller over to the side with the triangles. On this side, there are 8 small triangles (within four larger triangles). Within the small triangles, write the numbers 1-8.
Finally, flip over the four larger triangles. In each of the smaller triangles, write one self-care activity. You will write down 8 total activities. Pick an example from the image above - or you can make up your own!

CHEETAH RUN! Cheetahs are the track stars of the cat world. They are designed to run very fast. Their flexible spine allows their front legs to stretch far with each stride, and their claws are hard and sharp like cleats, so they have excellent traction when running. While running, they can cover 20 to 22 feet in a single stride. A cheetah is off the ground more than half of their running time! Below, connect the dots in numerical order to create the cheetah and help it run fast! Later, learn how to draw a cheetah with Fresno Chaffee Zoo's own artist, Amber!

CARTER BIDDY Q: What is your favorite part about being involved with agriculture? My favorite part is probably raising an animal and watching them grow into a mature market project. I like the competition at fair and the chance to show how well
my animal works for me. I enjoy being at fair with lots of my friends. Q: Why is it important to be involved in your community? It is important to be involved in your community because you can build it up and make it better. Being able to contribute to making it a happy place to live. I have done many things through my 4-H Club like volunteering to serve at luncheons, making Valentines for Veterans. We have collected for food and coat drives. It makes me feel good to support my community by giving back whenever I can. Q: What advice would you give to another student who wants to get involved with agriculture?
My advice would be do what ever interests you. 4-H has many ways to get involved with agriculture. Find the project that you like best and just know that you’ll have to work hard but it pays off.

PRESLEY BABSHOFF Q: What does farm grown mean to you?
Farm grown means a life involved in agriculture, being immersed in what it really means to grow something. This can be anything from produce to an animal and more. Being farm grown is to be raised around the environment where you play in the dirt as a kid and raise animals or grow crops on the same dirt when you get older.
Q: Why is it important to be involved in your community? It is important to be involved in your community because they have given you the surroundings you live in now. Without even realizing it, the community has given you the opportunities to succeed in life, so you should give back to the community as much as you can. Personally, I have been involved with community service since I was 8 years old. Being in Kerman 4-H and having the opportunity to hold officer positions for several years, I have been able to immerse myself in community service and giving back to its members. Q: How do you plan to remain involved with agriculture past high school? I have applied to several colleges, including Fresno State and Chico State, and have been accepted under the major of agricultural business. I have
not yet decided where to further my education, as I have other colleges to hear back from. I plan to further my experiences and involvement with agriculture in college so that I can expand my knowledge about the field. Being involved with agriculture from a young age has taught me that you can’t know everything and there is always more to learn.
