HELP OUT AND HAVE FUN!

SPRING CLEANING CHORE CHARTWhen it’s time to do chores, you can probably think of a million things you’d rather do. But chores don’t have to be boring. Try using your imagination to make them more fun. You could pretend you’re an astronaut cleaning up space garbage in outer space. Or, ask your parents to time you to see how fast you can clean up your room. You might set a record!

As you get older, you’ll be ready to take on bigger jobs. Here are some ideas to help you get started:

Show your parents how helpful you can be by helping out

around the house — without even being asked! Your parents

may also reward you with some money for your hard work.

Don’t forget to put some of that money into your savings

account at DCU.

7 FUN FACTS ABOUT RAINBOWSIt’s so cool to see a rainbow in the sky after a rainstorm! Here are some facts about the science of rainbows:

1 Rainbows have more than 1 million colors. The main colors

are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. But there are many more hues of color in between!

2 Not all rainbows appear with rain. A rainbow happens when

light bends through water droplets in the air. This might happen with rain, dew, fog, spray, or mist.

3 You can’t touch a rainbow. It’s an amazing sight to see, but not

an object you can touch.

4 Rainbows can multiply. With a double rainbow, a second rainbow

appears above the main one with reversed colors. It’s possible to see triple and quadruple rainbows, too!

5 The shape of a rainbow is a full circle. However, what we see usu-

ally looks like an arc. The other half of the circle is hidden below the horizon. You might be able to see a full rainbow from an airplane or tall mountain.

6 Rainbows can appear at night. An evening rainbow is made by

reflecting moonlight instead of sunlight. This is called a moonbow or lunar rainbow.

7 You can create a rainbow! Grab a garden hose and stand with your

back to the sun. Spray the water up in the air and look for a rainbow.

Have you ever tried to follow a rain-bow? You may not have luck finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow — but you can keep your money safe in your savings account with DCU!
