The Great Lakes And Glaciers

Around a billion years ago, a fracture in the earth running from what is now Oklahoma to Lake Superior generated volcanic activity. It almost split North America. Over 20 million years, lava from the fracture flowed in this area. It created mountains covering the regions now known as northern Wisconsin and Minnesota and the Laurentian Mountains were formed in Eastern Canada. Occasional volcanic activity continued while these mountains eroded. Molten magma below the highlands of what is now Lake Superior spewed out to its sides causing the highlands to sink and form a huge rock basin that would one day hold Lake Superior. With time, the fracture stabilized and the rock tilted north to south.

This region went from fire to ice with the arrival of the glaciers. In fact, if you were to go back in time and visit Michigan 14,000 years ago, you would have found the Great Lakes area covered in a

Cliffs of Door County in Wisconsin sheet of ice, called a glacier. These sheets averaged over one mile thick. At rates of only a little over a half foot per day, the glacier slowly made its way across the Great Lakes basin.

It carved out deep valleys and moved large amounts of soil.

As the glacier melted and moved towards Canada, it left behind a series of large holes that filled with meltwater from the glacier. These formed the basic shape of the Great Lakes. It wasn’t until around 6,000 years ago that the lakes took their final shape we see today.

When the glaciers melted and began receding, their leading edges left behind high ridges and rock formations.

Some of these can be seen today in the Cliffs of Door County in Wisconsin and the “flowerpots” on Bruce Peninsula in Ontario.

The Perfect Pumpkin

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of the year again to go in search of the Great Pumpkin. But have you ever wondered how did your pumpkin grow?

Gather up the family and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head to your favorite pumpkin patch and find out.

Your pumpkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life started a few months ago. The farmer had to carefully chose the spot for planting the patch, a large area with a lot of sunshine. Sometime after the earth had warmed from the winter and the mornings were no longer frosty in late May and early June, the pumpkin seeds were planted into the dark rich soil. The sun continued to warm the earth and rain fell on the land. Deep in the soil, the pumpkin seed grew roots and leaves began to appear out of the dirt. The leaves grew large and after five weeks, the first flowers appeared. It contained two kinds of flowers - a male and a female flower. The male flowers had a stamen in the center that contained the pollen. The female flower had a baby pumpkin at its base. The pumpkin vineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big bright flowers attracted many insects.

They would come often to visit the flowers and as they walked from the male flower to the female flower, pollination occurred.

The flowers then fell from the plant and the pumpkin began to grow. It seemed to grow slowly at first and looked just like a small green ball. Within a few weeks, it grew to the size of a basketball. Pumpkin plants are very thirsty so the

farmer had to make sure that your pumpkin had plenty of water. The pumpkin plant grew and stretched into long vines that covered the ground. In August and into September, the pumpkin started to change itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s color from green into orange. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s October and the patch boasts of big, beautiful, orange pumpkins. So, let the search begin for your perfect pumpkin!

Once you get your pumpkin home, the best way to keep your pumpkin fresh is to protect it from cold weather and bacteria that can make it sick and rot too soon. On nights when the weatherman says it will freeze, put your pumpkin in the garage or basement.

Next comes the fun part! Deciding what to do with your pumpkin!

You could use it as a decoration for your Thanksgiving table, paint it with a smile like your own, or carve it to make a jack-o-lantern. Let your creative juices flow. You can use yarn for hair, vegetables for facial features, even add earrings and dress them up with clothes!

After Halloween, do not throw away your pumpkin! If you have a few seeds left inside the shell, you can recycle your pumpkin by putting it in your garden over the winter. After the snow falls and spring begins to warm the earth, Mother Nature may leave you a surprise! A new pumpkin plant of your own!

Pumpkin Seed Recipe Ingredients: Seeds from 1 pumpkin 4 Tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce 1. When carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the strings, place in a bowl of water and wash them between your fingers. Then place them in a strainer to dry for about 30 minutes. Make sure they are all dry before cooking. Preheat the over to 275 degrees. Place seeds on a cookie sheet. Spread out evenly. Melt the butter and drizzle over seeds and sprinkle them with garlic sault and Worcestershire Sauce. Cook for 10 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Turn every 5 minutes until finished. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot or cold.

I have always loved being in school and learning new things. I especially loved my art classes. I had wonderful art teachers who taught me how to draw. As a child, and even now, I enjoy drawing animals and anything in nature. One animal that is fun to draw is the owl. Follow the six steps in the square boxes to draw your owl.

Did you know that the owl is the symbol of learning and wisdom? Wisdom is a word that means understanding and good judgment. As you attend school to learn new things, think about understanding others and the world around you.

Try to make good decisions by using good judgment. Enjoy reading the following words some wise people have spoken. Maybe you’ll find one that helps you to be “wise”!

This school year have a good attitude and always try your best in all you do!

Words of Wisdom • “If you can dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney • “Only surround yourself with people who will lift you higher.” Oprah Winfrey • “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Gandhi • "You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great." Zig Ziglar • "The only way to have a friend is to be one." Ralph Waldo Emerson • "You never lose until you quit trying." Mike Ditka • "The time is always right to do what is right." Martin Luther King Jr. • “You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!” Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go! • “Why fit in when you were born to stand out?” Dr. Seuss • “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick Or Treatâ&#x20AC;?

Safely Halloween is fun because you use your imagination, create a costume and trick or treat! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good, but safety has to play an important role on Halloween â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick or Treatâ&#x20AC;? time. Here are a few tips to help.

Pumpkin Safety Tips â&#x2013;ş Decorate your pumpkin with markers or paint. Leave the carving to the adults. â&#x2013;ş Use candles carefully. Candle lit pumpkins need to be away from anything flammable like curtains. Never leave them unattended or better yet - use flashlights or battery operated flameless candles.

Home Front Tips â&#x2013;ş Clean up and put away anything that a trick or treater could trip over. Turn the lights on. â&#x2013;ş Control your pets. Take no chances that the family pet may get frightened or bite someone. â&#x2013;ş Consider sugar substitutes like stickers, pencils, rubber insects, etc.

Costume Safety Tips â&#x2013;ş Create a costume that is bright in color. Trick or treating is traditionally held during the evening so your costume needs to be seen by both pedestrians and vehicles. A good idea is to use reflective materials or tape attached to your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume and trick or treat bag. A flame retardent costume is also a good idea. Make sure the costume fits well, including the shoes and you have plenty of room to dress warmly. â&#x2013;ş A mask can obstruct your vision - make sure it fits and you can see. How about make-up instead? Test costume makeup on a small area of skin to make sure you are not allergic to it. â&#x2013;ş Any weapons or props should look and feel harmless and be brightly colored. Make sure they are bendable and do not have any pointed ends.

Trick-or-Treating Safety Tips â&#x2013;ş Never go into a strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and only accept treats in the doorway. â&#x2013;ş When you are trick or treating, make sure your parents or a re-

sponsible adult is with you at all times. Never trick or treat alone. â&#x2013;ş Be careful when you cross a street. Look in all directions and make sure there is not a car coming. If you are with younger children, take their hand and help them cross. Cross the street at the corner or at a crosswalk. Do not cut through back alleys or fields. â&#x2013;ş Do not get into a strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. â&#x2013;ş Plan your entire route a head of time. â&#x2013;ş Be sure to say thank you for your treats. â&#x2013;ş Be careful walking near lit pumpkins or luminaries. â&#x2013;ş Only go to houses where the lights are on. â&#x2013;ş Walk on sidewalks or driveways. â&#x2013;ş Make sure someone has a cellular phone in case of emergency. â&#x2013;ş Carry a flashlight or glow stick to make you more visible. â&#x2013;ş Go out trick or treating only during specified times for your neighborhood. â&#x2013;ş Have your parents check your candy BEFORE you eat it when you get home. Keep only the treats that are unopened with wrappers that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t torn or have holes in them. After you eat candy, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to brush your teeth!

Halloween can be so much fun, so be safe this year and have a wonderful time.
