  • 32 Minis Newsletter Bicycles
    Academy Art Museum academyartmuseum.org MINIS AT HOME volume 1, issue 32 Greetings kids, parents, grandparents, guardians, friends and neighbors! Welcome to issue 32 of Minis at Home newsletter. This is our last newsletter of the school year. We hope you have enjoyed reading the newsletters as much as we have enjoyed preparing them for you. Remember that exploring the natural world, working on projects together with your family, and making time to read are all important activities to keep mind and body healthy. This week’s theme = Bicycles It's that time of year when we are heading outside more and more as the weather becomes warmer and our days become longer. Some of us might enjoy a walk, some of us might ride horses, and some of us may play soccer, but many of us like to ride bikes and scooters best. Bicycle comes from “bi," which means two, and “cycle," which means circle. Wheels, of course, are shaped like circles. Bicycles have 2 wheels, 2 peddles, a frame and handlebars. There is a chain that is connected to cogs. When you push the pedals with your legs, this turns the chain, which then turns the back wheel. You steer the front wheel with the handlebars. The short name for “bicycle” is “bike.” It takes a little practice to balance on a bike. Children who are just learning to balance on a bike may use training wheels that keep the bike from falling over. Very young children can ride a tricycle (or “trike”), which has three wheels and can’t tip at all.
