Hello, Smarty Pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday.
Today, we're galloping into the magical world of unicorns.
Before we begin the trusty trivia, I want to give a few shout outs to some awesome smarty pants.
First, there's Rowan in Chicago, who thinks who's smarted is funny and educational.
We agree, Rowan. And another big shout out to Cece in Ankeny, Iowa, who loves who's smarted because it's so funny, and they learn cool things.
Well, we're so happy to have you both listening, laughing, and learning with us.
And now, let's prance into some questions about unicorns.
First question, what does the word unicorn mean?
Is it A, one horn, B, magic horse, or C, rainbow creature?
Did you go with A? That's absolutely correct.
Unicorn comes from Latin, meaning one horn.
Next question, in what country's coat of arms can you find a unicorn?
Is it A, England, B, France, or C, Scotland?
Did you choose C? Spot on.
The unicorn is Scotland's national animal and appears on its coat of arms.
Last question, what was the unicorn's horn believed to cure in medieval times?
Was it A, hiccups, B, poison, or C, bad breath?
Did you choose B? That is exactly right.
Unicorn horns were believed to have the power to cure poison.
Magical success, smarty pants.
Your unicorn knowledge is as rare as the creature itself.

Hey, smarty parents, I know the struggle of wanting to create the best future for the children in your life.
That's why I'm thrilled to share my experience with IXL Learning.
Recently, the eight -year -old child of one of our main Who Smarted writers started struggling with math.
They tried everything and felt helpless.
Then I told them about our partner, IXL, and it changed everything.
