Dramatic Discus Discus are 3 species in the larger group called Cichlids (pronounced sick-lid). Discus are from the Amazon River in South America.
Discus Disco Discus make great fish for your aquarium. They like to be in groups and with many colors and styles out there to choose from you can find just the right discus for you!
They get their name from their shape - very thin and round. Most discus are covered in stripes of blue, They also get along with some other green or red in order to blend in with the grasses on community fish. Since they like special the river bed and to communicate with other discus. water, these cool critters will dance their way all around your tank.
Discus are unique because of they way they take care of their babies. Like a lot of cichlids, the discus carefully take care of their eggs and larvae. The small fry (the name for baby fish) hang out with mom or dad when they are tiny. And the parents actually have a special slime that the fry will eat for the first week. Create a discus disk! What you will need: paper plates staples Try This! stuffing markers scissors 1. Staple your paper plates together (insides touching) about 3/4 of the way around. 2. Fill with stuffing or crumpled plastic bags 3. Staple remainder shut. 4. Color a discus on both sides of your plates 5. You now have a discus disk!
Discus like to live in lakes, rivers, streams and shallow puddles. During the day they will hang out in the shadows enhancing their camouflage. Discus like to live in small groups, they are happier and feel safer this way. They are at their happiest when they get to hang out with their friends...just like you! A full grown discuss can get up to 10 inches across, and will eat small shrimp, fish and worms. Sometimes the food they eat will actually make them more colorful! Their stripes and spots are not just for decoration. They actually use them to communicate with each other. How cool is a fish that can talk with its stripes?!

The Robin: Michigan’s State Bird The American Robin lives in North America. Robins breed from Alaska east to Newfoundland, Canada and south to California and east to Florida. They can be found in farmlands, suburbs and urban areas. The robin was designated the official state bird of Michigan in 1931 after an election held by the Michigan Audubon Society. The legislation noted that "the robin redbreast is the best known and best loved of all the birds in the state of Michigan." The robin is also the state bird of Connecticut and Wisconsin. The American Robin eats earthworms, insects and berries. About ten inches long, American Robins are gray-brown birds with warm orange underparts and dark heads. In flight, a white patch on the lower belly and under the tail can be seen. Compared with males, females have paler heads that contrast less with the gray back. Robins are commonly heard singing in forests and suburbs. Their calls include a loud song that sounds like cheer-up cheerily, cheer-up cheerily or a rapid tut tut tut. It is among the first birds to sing at dawn. The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Robins pair bond during the breeding season. Both parents build the nest that is made of twigs, mud and lined
with dry grass. Sometimes it will have string or ribbon intertwined in them when they find some. The nests are cup shaped and are built in a bush, tree or under the eaves of buildings. The female lays two to four light blue eggs. After around two weeks, the eggs hatch and both parents care for the young. The chicks fledge when they are about 14 to 16 days old. Fledge means to acquire the feathers necessary for flight. Did you know that the chicks are born with their eyes shut and first open them around five days after hatching?

Most recently HGB added a surgical robotic system to complement its surgical services in its recently renovated surgery suite. The da Vinci system was designed with the goal to further advance the technology used in minimally invasive surgery. During a robot-assisted procedure the surgeon is 100% in control, which translates into smaller, more precise movements of the tiny instruments. This means virtually scarless results, fewer complications, less pain, shorter hospital stays and recover times.

What Is Whooping Cough? Kids of today get a series of shots to protect them from getting whooping cough, but some kids will still get it. Babies who have not had all their series of shots are at risk for whooping cough. This is a very serious illness for a baby, and also affects adults ages 60 and older. Whooping cough, which is also called pertussis (pur-tus-is) is a bacterial infection of the respiratory system. This includes your lungs and breathing tubes. Whooping cough got its name from kids coughing a lot and in between coughs, they make a “whoop” sound when they try to take a breath. In 1906, two French scientists discovered the pertussis bacteria and this became the first step to creating a vaccine to prevent this disease. Thousands of children used to get it because it spreads very quickly. Pertussis bacteria can live in the saliva in mouths and in the mucus in noses. It is spread by people coughing or sneezing and releasing tiny droplets in the air that other people breathe in. Colds are caught this way also. The symptoms of whooping cough are similar to a cold but, unlike the cold, whooping cough sticks around and the cough gets stronger and more severe. If the doctor thinks that a child might have whooping cough, they may take a sample of the mucus in the back of their nose. This can be tested in a lab to see if there’s any bacteria in it. They may also order a chest Xray and blood tests. A child who has whooping cough will need to rest, drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy food. Also, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics to help fight the infection from the bacteria. This will guard from spreading the illness to others. Regular check-ups with the doctor will make sure that the breathing and coughing are improving. Whooping cough can be avoided by getting the pertussis vaccine called the DTaP. The shot prevents two other illnesses — diphtheria and tetanus in addition to pertussis. Today, kids are usually given five doses of it. The first three shots are given while a child is a baby. Another is given when a child is
a toddler and the fifth one is given between ages 4 to 6. And now, doctors want to give another shot when children are around 11 or 12 to make sure he or she is still protected. Washing your hands often and staying away from people who have a bad cough may help you avoid getting the disease.
Pencils? Check. Backpack? Check. Vaccines? Uh...
Is your child up to date on vaccines for the new school year? If not or if you’re unsure, we can help. Call us at (517) 887-4316.

The Amazon Rainforest!
The Amazon is a rainforest in South America. It encompasses 1.2 billion acres, with parts located within nine nations: Brazil (with 60% of the rainforest), Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. This forest represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests. The forest lies in a basin drained largely by the Amazon River, with 1100 tributaries. This basin was formed between 500 and 200 million years ago! The region is home to 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2000 birds and mammals. This is the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the rainforests of the Amazon.
The Toucan! The toucan lives in the Amazon Rainforest. There are more than 40 types of toucans. Their diet is made up of insects, fruit and small lizards. It eats by tossing its food into the air and flying to catch it. Toucans love to fly! They can be up to 26 inches tall including their bill. Toucans mostly live in dead trees. The males look for food while the females protect the tree with their nest. The toucans babies are born featherless!
The Red-Eyed Tree Frog Being green helps the red-eyed tree frog blend in with tree leaves. This keeps it hidden from both the insects it eats and the predators that want to eat them. Red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal, or active at night. During the day they rest. When one of these tree frogs sits still on a green leaf, legs tucked in and eyes shut, it is practically invisible. So why do the frogs have brightly colored bodies and huge red eyes? The bright colors are a defense mechanism. If the green camouflage fails and a predator spots a sleeping frog, it swoops in for what it thinks will be a tasty meal. But the awakened frog’s eyes pop open, revealing their startling bright red color! Also, when the frog rushes to get away, it untucks its brightly colored legs The predator is often so surprised by these sudden flashes of color that it is momentarily confused and hesitates. And while it does, the frog has a split second to make its escape!
What’s A Caiman? All caimans live in South and Central America. Caimans like wetlands such as rainforests or the Amazon river basin. Caimans also live in flooded savannahs. Caimans belong to the same group as alligators because of a bony ridge that is above their eyes. They lay between 14 and 60 eggs. They are nocturnal which means they are awake during the night. They hunt fish, birds, turtles, reptiles, and mammals. They have about 75 long and sharp teeth. They don’t tear their prey up, they swallow it whole.

Hopscotch is a simple game that children from all over the world play. It is a great low-impact exercise. Hopscotch is a way to work on balance because you jump on one foot and then two so it also strengthens your leg muscles. Plus - you bend down on one leg to pick up your markers! Another plus is that you develop skills such as concentration, focus and hand-eye coordination. Hopscotch can be played with sevHUDO SOD\HUV RU DORQH 7KH ¿UVW HOHPHQW you need is a course. Traditionally you draw the course in the dirt with a stick, or you can draw it on pavement with chalk. Designs vary, but it’s usually composed of a series of single squares and double squares. There is a home base at the end of the course in which a player will hop and turn around in before completing the reverse trip. Sometimes this home base is a semi-circle but it can also be a square. The squares are numbered in the sequence they need to be hopped. Every player then receives a marker such as a stone, beanbag, shell or something else

that’s small that can be used to mark an area. Stand at the beginning and toss your PDUNHU LQ WKH ¿UVW VTXDUH +RS RYHU square 1 (you always skip any square that has a marker in it) to square 2. You hop through the course with one foot unless there are two squares that are side by side. Then you jump landing with one foot in each square at the same time. Hop to the end (home base), jump and turn around without leaving your square, then hop back to the beginning square. Stop in square 2 to pick up the marker while you are balancing on one foot, then jump out! The next person tosses the marker in square 2 with the same rules, then square 3 and so on. Your turn ends if you do any of the following things: If your marker fails to land in the right square, you hop on a space that has a marker in it, you step on a line, you lose your balance, you hop outside the grid or on a single space with both feet. If your turn ends, you then begin your next turn where you left off. The ¿UVW RQH WR FRPSOHWH RQH FRXUVH IRU HYHU\ numbered square on the course, wins the game.
