I Want To Be A Librarian!

Librarians work with people, not just books. So, she or he must enjoy people of all ages, have “people skills” and enjoy helping others. Librarians like to read, do research and pay attention to details. Computer skills are also needed. Librarians help others find facts. They organize information and help people find books, magazines, videos, web sites and other information their patrons need. They maintain book arrangements and other items in order so patrons can find them. A children’s librarian provides reading guidance to children. Part of the job most do is to write book reviews, maintain working relationships with schools, develop programs for kids and continually maintain the children’s collection by keeping track of all the new books coming out. A lot of librarians enjoy reading to children and teaching them how to do research in a library. Librarians are also managers. They make budgets, keep records and manage employees. He or she has to decide which books, magazines, movies and computer equipment to buy. Some librarians only work in one subject such as art. Others work in hospitals, businesses and other places where people need to find information quickly. To be a librarian, you usually need a Master’s Degree in library science or information science. Before you can get a Master’s Degree, you will need a four year college degree. In many states, school librarians must have a teaching certificate also.

Michigan’s Lighthouses Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state (124) in the nation on more than 10,000 miles of shoreline. All of them have a unique look and story. Some still shine for ships, others share their stories with us as museums, as bed and breakfasts and as Michigan’s history in the making. There are only a few dozen that are open to the public. Many are still active. All of Michigan’s lighthouses were built on shores near the most dangerous waters where sailors needed a light to guide them in to harbor. None of the lighthouses have human lightkeepers anymore. Those still active are fully automated, guiding boats and ships safely to shore. Here’s some interesting facts: • The oldest surviving lighthouse in Michigan is the Fort Gratiot light that was built in 1825 near Port Huron with a height of 74 feet. This lighthouse is actually older than Michigan! It was part of the Fort Gratiot garrison installed to guard the opening to the St. Clair River. It sits on Lake Huron. It was reconstructed in 1861 and now stands 86 feet tall. It is still functioning as a Coast Guard station and active lighthouse. • The Livingston Memorial Lighthouse on Belle Isle is the only marble lighthouse in the nation. • New Presque Isle, the tallest lighthouse in Michigan, has a height of over 100 feet. The original lighthouse was built in 1840 and the new structure was ordered 30 years later by then President Abraham Lincoln. • Whitefish Point Light Station and Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum This lighthouse, which is still fully functional, is actually the second structure of the same name to stand at the end of Lake Superior’s Shipwreck Coast. It sits over Whitefish Bay in northern Michigan. It is a critical turning point for all vessel traffic entering and leaving the largest of all the Great Lakes. Of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point. The first Whitefish Point Light Station was built in 1848 and lit in 1849. After 13 years of suffering through brutal Lake Superior weather, the

Whitefish Point Light Station

lighthouse had to be replaced. The new structure has a steel core that braces much better against the gale force winds. Whitefish Point Light Station’s claim to fame is actually a sad moment. In its over 160 year history, the light station has only lost its light one time. That was the night the famous Edmund Fitzgerald ship and 29 crew members were lost to a vicious lake storm just 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point. Today the lighthouse stands over the Whitefish Point Underwater Preserve, an eerily preserved shipwreck graveyard at the bottom of Lake Superior. • Point Iroquois Lighthouse - Situated high above the waters of Whitefish Bay, this 1870 structure proudly stood 65-feet tall, with two attached buildings. This was one of the lighthouses in Michigan where the light keepers could have their families live with them while on duty. At one point, as many as eight children and three keepers lived on the site, which includes two attached structures. One housed “the bossâ€? with his family and the other provided a home to his two assistants and their kin. • The Charlevoix South Pier Light is located on the west end of the south pier in Charlevoix Michigan. It has a skeletal base and a pyramidal steel tower. The first light in this area to be installed was on the north pier in 1885 and was made of wood. The wooden light was moved to the south pier in 1914, and the new steel light replaced the wooden one in 1948. The light is still an active aid to navigation on Lake Michigan. • Manitou Island Lighthouse - Built in 1850 on an island at the eastern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, this is the oldest iron skeletal light tower on the Great Lakes. This was a particularly difficult post, isolated and very exposed. Keepers seldom served more than three years.

Caterpillar Cocoons

Baked Sweet Potatoes With Cinnamon Butter

1 (8 ounce) tube refrigerated crescent rolls 8 breakfast sausages 1 squeeze bottle yellow mustard

1/2 stick butter, softened 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch of salt 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar 4 medium sweet potatoes Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix together the butter, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt and sugar with a rubber spatula in a bowl until well blended. Chill in refrigerator 10 minutes. Turn mixture out onto waxed paper and, using the paper as an aid, roll the butter into a log about the size of a nickel. Wrap tightly in a new piece of waxed paper and refrigerate 1 hour or longer. Scrub potatoes and prick the skin all over with a fork. Bake on oven rack 45 to 60 minutes, until they're soft and easily pierced through the center with a paring knife. Serve each potato with two coin-sized slices of the butter.

Preheat oven according to directions on the crescent-roll package. Prepare the sausages according to the directions on their package. Remove from frying pan and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Separate the crescent-roll dough into its pre-cut triangle pieces, and lay them flat on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place one sausage on each, squeeze a thin line of mustard on each. Roll and close all ends. Bake according to package instructions.

Sidewalk Paint 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water 6 to 8 drops food coloring Mix cornstarch and cold water together in a small plastic bowl. Add food coloring and stir. Repeat this process to create different colors of sidewalk paint. Use sidewalk paint for painting large areas, such as hopscotch grids, make-believe roads and highways, etc. When done, you can wash it away with the garden hose.

Kool-Aid Tie-Dye T-Shirt Soap Crayons

T-shirt Unsweetened Kool-Aid Vinegar Small plastic bowls Plastic gloves Rubber bands

2 tablespoons hot water Food coloring or Wonder Colors Ivory Flakes

NOTE: Use different flavors/colors of Kool-Aid. For every color you wish to use, put 1 package Kool-Aid and 1 ounce of vinegar in individual plastic bowls. Mix until Kool-Aid is dissolved. Using rubber bands, pull and twist T-shirt into different shapes. Dip rubber-banded ends in bowls (make sure you wear gloves or your hands will stain). To set colors, iron on medium-high using an ironing cloth between shirt and iron. Let set for 24 hours before washing. To be safe. wash separately the first time. Launder the t-shirt as usual and it’s ready to wear. NOTE: Don’t put softener on the T-shirt if you pre-wash it as the dye will not take.

Pour water into a 1-cup measuring cup. Fill the rest of the cup to the top with Ivory Flakes. With a spoon mix the water and soap flakes together until mixture becomes a thick soapy paste without any big lumps. Add about 30 or 40 drops of food coloring to the soap mixture and stir well until the soap has color. Scoop out some of the mixture and put it in one of the cube spaces of an ice cube tray or any other mold you would like to use. Press the soap paste down into the cube until it is filled to the top. Fill 1 or 2 more cubes with the remaining soap mixture. Dry cubes in a warm, dry place for 1 or 2 days until the soap paste gets hard (test by pressing with your finger). Pop the soap crayons out of the tray. Some colors will work better than others. Soap crayons are made from pure soap and food coloring, so whatever is drawn with them can be wiped off bathtubs, sinks, floors, windows, hands and faces. They are great for making disguises like a big moustache or a clown face.

Earth’s Oceans Did you know that our oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface? There are 328,000,000 cubic miles of seawater. The oceans also contain 97% of the Earth’s water supply! The oceans serve many functions that affect the weather and temperature. They moderate the Earth’s temperature by absorbing incoming solar radiation. This is heat energy. The ever moving ocean currents distribute the heat energy around the entire globe! This in turn, heats up the land and air during the winter and cooks it during the summer. The evaporation of ocean water is the source of most rainfall. All of the Earth’s oceans are connected to one another. There are five oceans that are recognized. They are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and the Southern. In the year 2000, the Southern Ocean was discovered. It surrounds Antarctica. Their average depth is about 12,460 feet with the deepest point of 36,198 feet which is in the Pacific Ocean. There are 20 seas that are smaller branches of the ocean. Seas are often partly enclosed by land. The largest seas are the South China Sea, the Caribbean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Here’s some interesting facts about our oceans! • The lowest known point on earth is called Challenger Deep and is located in the Pacific Ocean near Guam in the Philippine Sea. The depth recorded is 35,827 feet. • The largest ocean on Earth is the Pacific Ocean, it covers around 30% of the Earth’s surface. The Pacific Ocean’s name has an original meaning of ‘peaceful sea’. This ocean contains around 25,000 different islands, many more than are found in Earth’s other oceans. • The Pacific is surrounded by the Pacific Ring of Fire, a large number of active volcanoes. • The waters of the Indian Ocean provides the largest breeding grounds of the world for humpback whales. • A jellyfish with the funny name 'Lion's mane jellyfish' can be found in the Arctic Ocean's waters. It grows up to 8 feet across and lives on plankton and fishes. • The Southern Ocean is the home of Emperor Penguins and

Wandering Albatrosses. • The Mid Ocean Ridge forms a mountain range that’s almost 40,000 miles long. It weaves it’s way through all of the major oceans and is the largest single feature on Earth! The highest mountain is Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It rises 33,474 feet from it’s base on the ocean floor - but only 13,680 feet are above sea level. • Canada has the longest coastline of any country at 56,453 miles. • Ocean tides are caused by the Earth rotating while the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull acts on ocean water. • Under-sea earthquakes and other disturbances cause tsunamis or great waves. The largest recorded tsunami measured 210 feet above sea level in 1737. • The ocean contains many species of life and is the Earth’s largest living space. More than 90% of the habitat exists in the deep sea known as the abyss. Only 10% of the ocean’s living space has been explored. The Great Barrier Reef, which is 1,243 miles, is the largest living structure on Earth. • The ocean provides us with a huge food source. Not only do we eat fish, lobster, crab and more, we use the substance from marine plants and animals in many products including medicine, ice cream, toothpaste, fertilizers, cosmetics, and livestock feed. • The ocean is a source of mineral deposits including oil. • The oceans are a form of transportation for many people and many trade products between nations.

Who Needs Sleep Anyway? The average child has very busy days. There's school, taking care of your pets, playing with friends, going to sports practice or other activities, and doing your homework. By the end of the day, your body needs a break. Sleep allows your body to rest for the next day. Do you remember what it’s like when you don’t get sleep? You feel exhausted the whole next day and your body doesn’t have energy! All living creatures need sleep to survive. Not only is sleep a need for your body, it's important for your brain, too. Though no one is exactly sure what work the brain does when you're asleep, some scientists think that the brain sorts through and stores information, replaces chemicals, and solves problems while you’re sleeping. Most children ages 5 to 12 get about 9.5 hours a night, but the experts all agree that most need 10 or 11 hours each night. Sleep is an individual need and some children require more sleep than others. Another reason to get enough sleep is that If you don't, you may not grow as well. That's right! Researchers believe too little sleep can affect growth and your immune system - which keeps you from getting sick. There are different stages of sleep. As you're drifting off to sleep, it doesn't seem like much is happening . . . the room is getting fuzzy and your eyelids feel heavier and heavier. But what happens next? As you slowly fall asleep, you begin to enter the five different stages of sleep: Stage 1- In this stage, your brain gives the signal to your muscles to relax. It also tells your heart to beat a little slower, and your body temperature drops a bit. Stage 2 - After a short while, you enter stage 2, which is a light sleep. You can still be woken up easily during this stage. For example, if your sister pokes you or you hear a car horn outside, you'll probably wake up. Stage 3 - When you're in this stage, you're in a deeper sleep, also called slow-wave sleep. Your brain sends a message to your blood pressure to get lower. Your body isn't sensitive to the temperature of the air around you, which means that you won't notice if it's a little hot or cold in your room. It's much harder to be awakened when you're in this stage, but some people may sleepwalk or talk in their sleep. Stage 4 - This is the deepest sleep yet and is also considered slowwave sleep. It's very hard to wake up from this stage of sleep, and if you do wake up, you're sure to be out of it and confused for at least a few minutes. Like they do in stage 3, some people may sleepwalk or talk in their sleep when going from stage 4 to a lighter stage of sleep.

REM - This stands for Rapid Eye Movement. Even though the muscles in the rest of your body are totally relaxed, your eyes move back and forth very quickly beneath your eyelids. The REM stage is when your heart beats faster and your breathing is less regular. This is also the stage when people dream! While you're asleep, you repeat stages 2, 3, 4, and REM about every 90 minutes until you wake up in the morning. For most kids, that's about four or five times a night. Sleep is definitely not boring! Dreams - People dream during REM sleep, the period that follows the deepest stage of sleep. Everybody has dreams, although some people have a tough time remembering them. When you wake up can affect whether you can remember your dreams. If you wake up during REM sleep, you might remember everything about your dream. If you wake up during another stage of sleep, you might not remember a thing. Here are some tips to help you catch all the sleep you need: • Try to go to bed at the same time every night; this helps your body get into a routine. • Limit foods and drinks that contain caffeine. These include some sodas and other drinks, like ice tea. • Don't have a TV in your room. Research shows that kids who have one in their rooms sleep less. If you have a TV, turn it off when it's time to sleep. • Don't watch scary TV shows or movies close to bedtime because these can sometimes make it hard to fall asleep.
