FOR CHILDREN

Thursday, November 1

ATKA THE WOLF, It sounds like a fairy tale: a meeting with a wolf. But this one doesn't menace little pigs or impersonate grandmothers. She is Atka, an Arctic gray wolf from the New York Wolf Conservation Center, and she will visit the Staten Island Zoo for a program on the history and conservation of wolves. At noon and 2 p.m., 614 Broadway, West Brighton, statenislandzoo.org.

CHILDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND MALI Children are often as imaginative and original behind the camera as they are in front of it. Two new exhibitions showcase their views of their cultures, captured in prints. ''Beyond the Wall: The Jerusalem Project,'' at the JCC in Manhattan, features the work of 24 Jewish and Muslim residents of Jerusalem, ages 8 to 12, who took separate photography classes with the organization Kids With Cameras and then met to share their portfolios.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH FESTIVAL (Tomorrow and Sunday) Latin America comes to the Upper West Side in this celebration at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, geared to visitors 5 and older. Tomorrow at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. they can learn about maracas and make a pair of their own. On Sunday at the same hours they can paint artworks about nature, working with the artist Turizzo, whose pieces are inspired by the Latin American landscape and people. And on Sunday at 2 and 3 p.m. everyone is invited to play percussion and dance to salsa with Los Calientes. The Tisch Building, 212 West 83rd Street, (212) 721-1223, cmom.org. Free with admission: $9; $6 for 65+; free for members and under 1.

In civics class, we are knowing about the being as global citizens, and I think this is really interesting concept. Our next project is local charity, and we have to find the charity, and research on them, but I didn’t realized that how much charities are in the Aurora regions, and many of them required helps from others. We could help others, and this thing is good thing to do as global citizens, and it is our duties.
