There are 60 different types of deer in the world.

Caribou, moose and elk are part of the deer family.

The largest deer in North America is the moose. A moose can weigh up to 1800 pounds!

Deer have a thick coat that keeps them warm. This fur keeps them so warm inside that snow can actually fall on their coats without melting.

Indians used deer skins as money!

That’s how the word “buck” came to be used as another word for a dollar bill.

A white-tail deer can run 40 miles an hour and jump as high as 20 feet!

Male deer are called ‘bucks’.

Females are ‘does’.

Young deer are ‘fawns’.

Deer eat grass, leaves, bark, twigs, and young plants.

Recycle THAT!

88

Here are some ways to recycle everyday objects around your house: Old t-shirts can be reused as painting/craft shirts for your children or ripped up into rags for cleaning.

Laundry detergent caps make great toys for the sandbox & tub.

Old toothbrushes can be used for cleaning. They’re the perfect size for scrubbing grout & small, hard to reach places. Also, keep one in your laundry room for scrubbing out stains before you wash!

88

ANALOGIES! Analogies are pairs of words that are related to each other in the same way. Here’s an example:

toes : feet :: fingers : a. head b. shirt c. coat d. hands Think “toes are related to feet, as fingers are related to hands.”

The answer is ‘hands’.

Complete The Squares!

Take turns with a friend and draw a line from one dot to one beside it. The person who connects the line that completes a square puts their initials in the finished square. The person who completes the most squares WINS the game!

Think how the following pairs of words are related.

Circle the word that completes the second pair with the word that is related in the same way.

1. Rudolph : reindeer :: Frosty : a. snowflake b. tree c. snowman d. bells 2. July : summer :: January : a. fall b. autumn c. winter d. spring 3. mittens : hands :: boots : a. head b. feet c. ears d. eyes 4. summer : lemonade :: winter : a. iced tea b. milk c. hot chocolate d. water 5. snow : soft :: ice : a. cool b. warm c. white d. hard

What is an Iceberg?

Icebergs are large chunks of ice that have broken off from a glacier.

Our word “iceberg” comes from the Dutch word “ijsberg” which means “ice hill.”

Icebergs are found in very cold Arctic waters close to the north and south poles.

Glaciers and icebergs are made up of frozen fresh water. That’s why they float!

A very small iceberg is called a “growler” because it makes a growling sound as it moves through the ocean.

Icebergs are usually white, blue or green.

Most of an iceberg is below the ocean water.

Only 1/8 of it is above, meaning that 7/8 is submerged below the surface. For example, if you see an iceberg that is 10 feet above the surface of the ocean, this iceberg has another 70 feet hidden below the surface!

hances are, your kids have some type of electronics. They may have video games, music players & cell phones. While these games are fun & can be educational, be careful that your kids aren’t ‘plugged in’ too much.

There is a time & place for electronics. Personal game devices & music players are great for long car trips, waiting at the doctor’s office, etc. Cell phones can be great when your child needs to reach you. Computers games can offer a fun way to practice reading & math skills.

However, ‘plugged in’ time should be limited. First, there need to be time limits. For instance, games can be played an hour a day or only on certain days of the week. Cell phones may be used only in emergency situations, not to chat with a friend after school. Music players are only allowed after homework is done. Second, there need to be limits as to where these things are appropriate. For instance, when the family gathers at the dinner table, the focus should be on conversation. When a group goes out to a restaurant, they should enjoy each other’s company. On the way to & from school, kids should have the opportunity to talk with you about their day. When friends are over, have the kids play together rather than just watching each other play a video game.

Using today’s technology can be exciting & fun for your child. Just make sure that they don’t get too caught up in the electronics that they miss out on personal interactions by just being together!

Inukshuk: Symbol of

2010 Winter Olympics An “inukshuk” is a pile of stones placed to look like a human figure. They have been made all over Arctic regions for years and years.

They are built to mark a trail, to warn of danger, to show a place of respect, or to show the location of a good place to hunt or fish.

Inukshuk means “likeness of a person.”

This Olympic symbol is named Ilanaaq (ih-lah-nawk) which means “friend” in the native Inuit Indian language. Inuit Indians live in the cold regions of the Arctic.

A puffin is a funny bird With a beak that’s like a parrot!

But he would say “No thank you, Sir.” If you offered him a carrot!

He swims and fishes all day long Up in the Arctic sea His favorite food is yummy fish And he’s happy as can be!

He slides and glides and flips and flops All through the icy deep.....

Always on the lookout For his most favorite treat!

So, Mr. Fish, please beware, For I just have a hunch That if you are ever caught, You’ll be the puffin’s LUNCH!

Puffins are birds that live in the Arctic.

They can fly up to 55 miles an hour.

Their wings can flap up to 400 times a minute!

Their wings and webbed feet help them to swim in the cold water.

Puffins can dive down to 200 feet and stay underwater for up to one minute as they catch fish to eat.

Holes In Socks!

by C.J. Heck

Holes are good in donuts and for putting keys in locks.

Holes are good in some things, but holes aren‛t good in socks.

Holes taste great in swiss cheese.

We need holes for wearing rings.

But how do holes get in my socks?

Holes belong in OTHER things!

Holes work fine in inner tubes and to put mail inside the box.

Holes work fine in things like that but holes don‛t work in socks!

Holes make scissors cut right and open pockets for my rocks.

I DO need holes in special things, but who needs holes in socks?

Come in and see our huge selection of themed party invitations Downtown: 263 Molton Street 834-2044

Holes have to be in noses and our ears to hear friends talk.

Holes have to be in body parts, but WHO put HOLES in socks?

Our thanks to C.J. Heck for giving us permission to publish this poem. Please visit her website at www.barkingspiderspoetry.com for more poems and fun activities!

We all need socks to keep us warm in winter, but did you know that socks have been around for hundreds of years? Long ago, socks were very different from the socks we wear today. They were made of animal skins tied around the ankles. Some socks were made of matted animal hair.

Take Time To Play!

S

pending time with children is a wonderful gift to give them and ourselves. Often we think we have to engage in some major activity or spend money to have fun.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. However, sitting together watching television is not quality one on one time where there is conversation and interaction. Family game nights where we go “old school” with actual board games are just one of many ways for parents and children to spend quality play time together, and that is something children crave.

Whether it is classic games like Connect Four, Don’t Break the Ice, or Mouse Trap or newer board or card games, the interaction that occurs between parents, children, and siblings during this time is priceless. There are opportunities for life lessons with Connect Four through making choices and observation of others. Patience can be taught in Mouse Trap as the contraption is built slowly.

Spending time with Learning how to be a good sport comes with winning children is a wonderful or losing. Most of all the conversation and connections gift to give them and that happen during these simple games create bonds ourselves. that last long after the game is put away.

Video games have their place in family time, but they do not allow for the same focused interaction that board and card games do. Consider family game nights. Maybe even connect to the Winter Olympics by having awards and medals designed by the family. It is an easy inexpensive way to have hours of fun and connect with our families.
