I Want To Play The Piccolo!
What is a piccolo you say? A piccolo is a small flute. The word piccolo is the Italian word for “little”. It has the same fingerings as the flute but the sound is an octive higher! The piccolo is one of the highest instruments within the orchestra or band with a brilliant piercing voice! In fact, it can be heard over the sound of the entire orchestra! The piccolo is a woodwind instrument. It is usually made of silver, gold, plastic, wood or a combination. The piccolo has a conical bore which means it tapers inwards towards the end of the instrument and the flute has a conical bore which tapers outwards. The first major composer to use the piccolo in his orchestra was Beethoven! One of the most famous piccolo solos is in John Philip Sousa’s march “Stars and Stripes Forever.”

Colds And Kids! Everyone gets a cold at one time or another and they are not fun. What is a cold? It is an infection of the upper respiratory system that affects the nose, throat and ears. The most common cold virus is the rhinovirus, but there are more than 200 other viruses that can cause colds. Because there are so many viruses, there isn’t a vaccination or shot available to prevent colds! So how do you catch a cold? It’s easy. Mucus is the wet stuff inside the nose. When a person sneezes or coughs, mucus drops float in the air. Breathing in these drops can spread a cold from one person to another. You can also catch a cold if you touch your eyes or nose after handling something with the cold virus on it such as door knobs, school desks, telephones or video games. So it’s important to wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. When the cold virus sticks to the protective lining inside of your nose and throat - it triggers an immune system reaction that can cause a sore throat and headache and make it hard to breathe through the nose. Runny noses and sneezing actually help to prevent viruses from invading other parts of your body. You sneeze because your nerves detect the irritation in your nose and get the lungs to push a blast of air out through your nose and mouth. Did you know that a sneeze can travel at more than 100 miles per hour and up to 12 feet through the air! Colds are also most contagious during the first 2 to 4 days after symptoms appear. Cold symptoms are signs or clues that tell us when we’re sick. They usually take 2 to 3 days to begin after you’ve been in contact with a cold virus. If you have some of the symptoms listed - you probably have a cold. Mom or Dad need to be the first to know and you may need to go see your family doctor. Some symptoms are: • Low fever • Body chills or muscle aches • Itchy or sore throat • Sneezing, running nose, and watery eyes. • Coughing • Feeling tired and not hungry. • Congestion - when your nose is stuffy and it’s hard to breathe. If You Have Caught A Cold - Here’s Some “Feel Better” Tips: • Hot drinks soothe coughs and sore throats while also clearing mucus. So eat (or drink) your chicken soup!
.LGVҋ :RUOG 1HZV
• A steamy shower helps stuffy or irritated noses. Or run a humidifier (a small, quiet machine that sprays fine cool mist in the air) to relieve your scratchy throat, stuffy nose, and itchy eyes. Humidifiers make room air moist, which loosens mucus. • Practice healthy habits. Your immune system will be ready to fight colds if you eat a balanced diet, get plenty of sleep, and keep your body fit through regular exercise. • Blowing your nose is the best way to get rid of mucus. • Rest. Take a nap or go to bed a little earlier for a few nights. • Kids who are stressed out feel worse when they have colds. Relax and use the time to read, listen to music, or watch a movie. To Help Prevent A Cold From Spreading: • Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently, especially after blowing your nose. • Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Sneeze or cough into a shirtsleeve - not your hands. This helps prevent the spread of germs. • Do not use the same towels or eating utensils as someone else. Do not drink from the same glass, can or bottle. • Do not pick up other people’s used tissues.

The United States grew 743.8 million pounds of squash for fresh market and processing in 2011. In 2010, Michigan farms produced 132 million pounds of squash, according to the Michigan Vegetable Council. Some common examples of winter squash are butternut, buttercup, turban, delicata, hubbard, acorn and spaghetti. In the northern states, winter squash farmers frequently sell directly to retail customers as it is more of a fall holiday crop. Winter Squash is a good source of Vitamin A, fiber, low in calories, fat and sodium. One small serving can provide a third of the daily requirement for vitamin C. Winter squash can be a key ingredient in vegetable dishes, salads, soups, main dishes, breads and desserts. It’s high betacarotene content causes the golden-orange color of the squash’s flesh. Winter squash goes well with seasonings we associate with fall such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves and allspice. Many people like to sweeten acorn squash with brown sugar, maple syrup and/or honey. They also can be added to soups, stews, curries or used in making pies, cakes or other desserts. Most winter squashes are vine type plants whose fruits are harvested when fully mature. They take longer than summer squash - 3 months or more - and are best harvested once the fall cool weather sets in. They can be stored for months in a cool basement. Other differences include the skin on the winter squash is not edible and it must be cooked before it’s eaten.
Acorn Squash As you might expect, the shape of this popular winter squash resembles an enormous acorn. It has orange flesh and a ribbed skin that’s green fading to orange. It is often prepared simply: sliced in half, baked with a little butter or olive oil, and eaten straight from its bowl-like shell. You can also roast, braise, and steam acorn squash.
.LGVҋ :RUOG 1HZV
Winter Squash Hubbard Squash A popular squash for boiling and mashing or pureeing, hubbard squash are very big with a thick shell that’s bumpy and ranges in color from bright orange to deep green. The yelloworange flesh, meanwhile, can be a bit grainy. Hubbard squash are rich in vitamin A and also have solid amounts of iron and riboflavin.
Butternut Squash Pale yellow (almost cream colored) on the outside with somewhat sweet, orange flesh, butternut are a large winter squash with smooth but thick skin. Popular ways to prepare butternut squash include baking, simmering, braising, and steaming.
Spaghetti Squash It’s called “spaghetti squash” because, when cooked, the golden flesh separates out like strings of spaghetti. These pale yellow squash have a hard, smooth shell and are at their peak in early fall through the winter, though you can find them year-round. Spaghetti squash are commonly prepared in casseroles or baked whole (like a potato) and then the flesh separated into spaghetti-like strands and served with sauces.
Turban Squash
Delicata Squash Thin and pale yellow with telltale green striping, delicata squash have a tasty yellow flesh that is typically prepared by baking, frying, braising, or steaming. Also called “sweet potato squash,” they are rich in potassium, iron, and vitamins A and C. Look for them from late summer through the fall.

Often quite colorful, turban squash are also short a n d squat with a distinctive turbanlike protuberance at the top. Because of their unusual look, they are popular as decorative squash. But you can also bake, steam, or simmer turban squash.

Bizarre Black Ghost Knife Fish
Although they make look fake, the black ghost knife fish are cool fish that come from the Amazon in South America. They like the warm waters of fast moving streams with sandy bottoms. South American natives named the unique fish. “Knife” is the easy part to see... from the side they look just like a machete. But where does the “ghost” come from? The native peoples think that the ghosts of our departed loved ones take up residence in the fish, hence the name.
The Black Ghost Knife Fish is all black with two white bands around its tail. They also have a white stripe down their nose, and it will sometimes extend all the way to its tail. Do they look kind of slimy? That is because they don’t have scales! They move by wiggling their whole body and their bottom fin. Another cool thing about Black Ghost Knife Fish - they are slightly electric! They send out and receive little electrical impulses to find insect larvae and then the chomp on it for dinner.
Try This!
Design your own crazy fish! What you will need: construction paper poster board glue scissors markers friends, classmates, or siblings
1. Each person starts with a different color of construction paper. 2. On your paper, draw and cut out all the parts of a fish - fins, body, lips, eyes, and tail. 3. Mix everyone’s body parts up, then pick out a full set. Be sure to get a bunch of colors. 4. On your poster board, glue your body parts together to create your crazy fish!
.LGVҋ :RUOG 1HZV
Black Ghost Knife Fish are in captivity as pets and for research. Because of their electrical charge, they are a widely studied fish. But, they are also very popular as pets. They need big tanks just to stay happy because they can get to be 2ft long! They are mostly active at night, and during the day they like to hide in caves or tunnels. They don’t even care if the tunnel is clear, as long as they can hide in it. One of their favorite sports - air bubble dancing! If you have an air stone blowing bubbles in your tank, the knife fish will swim forward and backwards A fish can do somersaults? through the bubbles all day. Black ghost knife fish are pretty awesome pets! They like to play and show off. Their favorite toy - a piece of pipe! They will swim in and out and peek at you. Black ghost knife fish can even be trained! One man trained his fish to do somersaults. Now that is one super cool fish!

Be a Leaf Peeper! Are you a “leaf peeper”? A leaf peeper is someone who loves to see the beautiful fall leaf colors. As the summer ends and fall begins, the days shorten and the temperatures cool. This change causes the green leaves of many plants and trees to turn yellow, red, or orange. When the trees become colorful, it is time to start searching for the prettiest trees. It is time to be a “leaf peeper”. You will discover that most people are leaf peepers, and you probably are too! Drawing and coloring fall leaves can be really fun. Follow the steps to draw your own leaves. After you have drawn and colored your leaves, cut them out and hang them or just create a picture by drawing several leaves on a piece of paper. Have fun leaf peeping and enjoying the fall activities! Contributed by Rebecca Nechuta

Your Muscular System The muscular system is made up of tissues that work with the skeletal system to control movement of the body. Without muscles, you couldn’t open your mouth, breathe, shake hands, walk, talk or move your food through your digestive system. Without muscles, you would not be able to do anything! Everyone’s body weight is about 40% muscle. There are over 630 muscles that help you move. Muscles can’t push - they pull. Muscles often work in pairs so that they can pull in different or opposite directions. The cells that make up your muscles contract and then relax. Microscopic fibers in these cells compress by sliding in past each other like a sliding door when you open and shut it. The cells are fed by chemical energy from the food you eat. There are three different types of muscles. The first is the Cardiac muscles that are found only in your heart. They power the action that pumps blood throughout your body. The second type are smooth muscles and like the cardiac muscles - they are involuntary. That means that you don’t know when they are doing their job! Some examples are - when you breath (movement of your diaphragm) or when your eyes blink! Or when you digest the food you eat! They are automatic movements that are controlled by the nervous system and hormones. The third type are muscles known as voluntary or skeletal muscles. They only work when you tell them to. Like the muscles in your arms and legs that help you walk or pick things up. You can also hurt your muscles - like pulling or tearing them. But, they can most often heal themselves because they are living body parts! Interesting Facts: • You have over 30 facial muscles which create looks like surprise, happiness, sadness and frowning.
• Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in the body. Scientists estimate they may move more than 100,000 times per day! • The largest muscles in the body is the gluteus maximus muscles in the buttocks.
