Nothing like naming a fish correctly! Archerfish are amazing in their ability to shoot food. But, they don’t shoot this food underwater...no...they shoot insects and small animals off branches above the water! So just like an archer shooting a deer with a bow for their dinner, archerfish use water as their arrows to shoot their meals. There are only 7 types of archerfish, and they live in deep pools of fresh, salt or brackish waters in Australia, Polynesia, Indonesia and the Philippines. Brackish water is half salt and half fresh water, usually in a estuary where a river and the ocean meet. The unique lower jaw of an archerfish gives it its ability to fire water arrows at their prey. Their jaw is large and sticks out allowing them to shoot water very well. Their bodies are also unique. They are usually never more than 6 inches long. They are almost a straight line along the top - all the better to lurk at the water’s surface looking for food! Their coloring also helps them to blend in with their environment, so they don’t become dinner. The archerfish’s shooting skills are unmatched. An adult fish will hit their target every time! They will shoot spiders, grasshoppers and more, knocking them off of branches and into the water. They shoot by squirting water through their open mouth, and can even shoot up to 3 feet! But they don’t always shoot their food. If it is close enough they will jump and grab it! This page proudly sponsored by:

Create an Archerfish Mobile
What you will need: wire string paper crayons scissors Tie 2 foot long wires together as a T. From each end hang a 6” piece string. Color and cut out 4 archerfish and tie to the ends of the string. Color and cut out 4 bugs and glue them to the end of the wires for your archers to shoot.
Try This!
Brackish is the way to go!
If you want a different and really cool fish tank...a brackish water tank is the way to go. The water needs to be kept slightly salty, but doesn’t take much more work than a freshwater tank. Brackish water species are very unique and fun. They include archerfish, fiddler crabs, scats, pufferfish, and gobies. You can set up cool tanks with different habitats to accommodate all of their needs - and a really cool tank!

Blue Morpho Butterfly The blue morpho butterfly lives in the Costa Rican rainforests. They can also be found in Mexico, South America and other Central American countries. It is one of the world’s largest species of butterfly with a wingspan of up to 8 inches. This beautiful butterfly only lives for approximately 115 days. Adults spend most of their time on the forest floor and in the lower shrubs and trees of the understory with their wings folded. However, when looking for mates, the blue morpho will fly through all layers of the forest. Humans most commonly see morphos in clearings and along streams where their bright blue wings are most visible. They are active during the daytime. Their bright blue iridescent color is the result of the many mini scales on the wings (edged with black) that reflect natural light. The underside of the wings is brown with camouflage spots. The spots look like eyes and help to protect these butterflies from predators such as birds and insects when its wings are closed. When the blue morpho flies, the contrasting bright blue and brown colors flash, making it look like the morpho is appearing and disappearing. The males wings are broader and brighter in color. They have, like other butterflies, two clubbed antennas, two fore wings and two hind wings, six legs and three body segments - the head, thorax and abdomen.
Like all butterflies, the morpho has 4 different life cycle stages egg, pupa, caterpillar and adult. The egg is light green, the caterpillar is a reddish brown color with bright green spots. During the caterpillar stage, the morpho eats leaves, preferring those from pea plants. When it becomes a butterfly and can no longer chew, the morpho’s diet consists of liquids only. A long tube mouth part, known as the probiscus, is used like a straw to suck the juices from rotting fruit and other plants as well as the liquids that come from dead animals. Blue morphos taste fruit with sensors on their legs. These butterflies can taste and smell the air with their antennae which serve as a combined tongue and nose. The deforestation of the world’s tropical forests are a threat to the survival of blue morpho butterflies. Humans provide a direct threat to this beautiful creature because their beauty attracts artists and collectors from all over the globe who wish to capture and display them.

Costa Rica • Costa Rica, located in Central America, lies between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. It is a little bigger than Vermont and New Hampshire combined. There are 800 miles of coastline between the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Cocos Island, which is about 300 miles off the Pacific coast is under Costa Rican sovereignty. Costa Rica is the Spanish word meaning “rich coast.” • Costa Rica has coastlines on the Caribbean Sea as well as the Pacific Coast. The tropical coastal plains rise to mountains, active volcanoes and a temperate central plateau where most of the people live. San Jose, the capital is there. • Chirripo Mountain is the highest point in Costa Rica at 12,500 feet. The country's lowest point is 790 feet below sea level in the caves of Barra Honda National Park. • There are more than 121 volcanic formations in Costa Rica, and seven of them are active. Arenal Volcano is one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world. Irazu is the tallest volcano in Costa Rica at 11,259 feet. • A quarter of Costa Rican land is protected as the rain forest preserves draw more visitors. • Costa Ricans refer to themselves as Ticos (males) or Ticas (females). Many people in Costa Rica give coffee to babies (in their bottles) and young children. • The Guanacaste is Costa Rica's national tree and the clay-colored thrush is the national bird. The national flower is the guaria morada, an orchid. • The Constitution provides that Costa Rica have no military force.. • Industry: Microprocessors, food processing, textiles and clothing, construction materials • Agriculture: Coffee, pineapples, bananas, sugar; beef; timber • Exports: Coffee, bananas, sugar, pineapples, textiles • The Tempisque River Bridge (known locally as La Puente de Amistad) that connects the mainland to the Nicoya Peninsula was a gift from Taiwan.

Rabbits! The rabbit is characterized by its long ears, long legs, large hind feet and a short bushy tail. Don’t get them confused with hares! Hares have longer ears, are larger in size, run faster and their young are born with fur and open eyes. Rabbit babies are born with no fur and are blind! Their fur can range from spotted patterns, white to brown, grey and black. They are known for their fast birthing rate and do not mate for life. Wild rabbits are ground dwellers that can live in many environments all over the world. Most are found in forests and live underground in burrows or in dense cover. The rabbit tends to stay in the area of their safe hiding place. If they see a predator, they will thump their hind feet in warning to the others. A rabbit’s large eyes provide a nearly circular field of vision that allows them to detect motion and helps them avoid predators. They also have the ability to detect odors and communicate through their sense of smell. Wild rabbits are herbivores grazing on grasses, clover and dandelions, etc. There are many different breeds of rabbits. Rabbits are farmed for many different reasons. They can be raised for meat, for their fur, for sport and for pets. In Europe, South America, North America, parts of the Middle East and China, they are a meat source of high quality protein. Rabbit meat is leaner than beef, pork and

chicken and cooked most often the same way chicken is. Rabbit fur can be used for clothing and accessories. Some also spin rabbit fur and use it for knitting. In this case, the longer the fur is better! This animal fur is combed and plucked from the rabbit. Rabbits are also raised as pets. Pet rabbits are kept in hutches COLOR or in homes. Rabbits ME! can be trained to use a litter box and can learn to come when called. Their diet consists of pellets, hay and fresh vegetables. Some famous rabbits are Br’er Rabbit, Bugs Bunny and let’s not forget the Easter Bunny!

Baseball “America’s National Pastime” Baseball has been played in some form since the mid-1800s. Children have been playing this sport anywhere a group of kids can pick up a stick and ball. As the sport grew in popularity, so did the opportunity for kids to play organized ball. Today, millions of kids all over the world play the game of baseball. Baseball was first played at the school level as early as the 1850s. At first more in boarding schools and then in 1859, Worchester High School in Maine is said to be the first public school to compete against outside teams. High Schools around the nation began forming baseball teams throughout the 1870s. The American Legion Baseball (an organization that supports war veterans) branched out to sponsor a youth baseball program in 1925. It is the oldest baseball program for teens in the United States. In 1939, Little League Baseball was organized to allow boys, not yet old enough to play ball for the American Legion, a chance to learn the game. The first Little League was played on June 6, 1939. It was between Lundy Lumber and Lycoming Dairy. Lundy Lumber won that game 23-8. Little League today is played by boys and girls between 5 and 18 years old. It is the largest organized youth sports program in the world.

I Want To Play Drums! The drum is a member of the percussion group, technically classified as a membranophone. They consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck. It is struck directly with a player’s hands or with some sort of implement such as a drumstick to produce sound. Drums are the world’s oldest and most widely used musical instrument. The basic design has remained pretty much unchanged for thousands of years. Most drums are considered “untuned instruments,” however many modern musicians are beginning to tune drums to songs. A few such as the timpani, are always tuned to a certain pitch. Often, several drums are arranged together to create a drum set, which can be played by a musician. The shell almost always has a circular opening over which the drumhead is stretched, but the shape of the remainder of the shell varies widely. In the western musical tradition, the most usual shape is a cylinder. Although, the timpani, for example, use bowl shaped shells. Other shapes include R O L O C a frame deME! sign, shortened cones like bongo drums, goblet shaped, and joined cones (talking drum). Several factors determine the sound a
drum produces, including the type of shell the drum has, the type of drumheads it has, and the tension of the drumheads. Different drum sounds have different uses in music. For example, a jazz drummer may want drums that sound crisp, clean and a little on the soft side. A rock and roll drummer may prefer drums that sound loud and deep. Because these drummers want different sounds, their drums will be constructed differently. In many traditional cultures, drums have a symbolic function and are often used in religious ceremonies. In the past, drums have been used not only for their musical qualities, but also as a means of communication through signals. The talking drums of Africa can imitate the inflections and pitch variations of a spoken language and are used for communicating over great distances. Throughout Sri Lankan history, drums have been used for communication between the state and the community. Sri Lankan drums have a history stretching back over 2500 years. Japanese troops used Taiko drums to motivate troops, to help set a marching pace, and to call out orders or announcements. Fife-and-drum corps of Swiss mercenary foot soldiers also used drums. They used an early version of the snare drum, carried over the player’s right shoulder, suspended by a strap and typically played with one hand. The oldest known drums are from 6000 B.C.

The One-Line Doodle Bird
Do you love art? Do you love to draw?
Drawings are created by using line. A line is a basic element of art, or an unbroken mark made on a surface by a drawing tool. Usually an artist lifts up his/her pencil many times while drawing. Sometimes it can be fun to try drawing in different ways. Did you know that it is not easy to draw things using one continuous or nonstop line? Try this “doodle bird” to work on the skills of drawing without ever picking up your pencil. When you first begin this exercise, it may be necessary to pick up the pencil. After several attempts, the one-line doodle bird becomes easy to do! Amaze your friends with this little bird drawing!
Let’s Draw The One-Line Doodle Bird! Follow the steps below to learn to draw a bird using one non-stop line!

Kids Have Stress Too! Sometimes we all find ourselves in situations that make us stress out. There can be a whole lot of reasons for this. Maybe you’re moving to a different area or maybe your concerned about what you’re going to do this summer? Talk to your parents or a responsible adult about it instead of keeping it bottled up inside. They may have a different view that may help you figure out a different way to deal with the stress.
Here’s some ideas to help you de-stress! • Get physically active! Don’t just sit! Get up! Get out and move! Physical activity increases your body’s endorphin levels. They are the natural feel good chemicals in the body which leave you with a natural happy feeling. • Eat good food! When you wake up in the morning, your body needs you to eat breakfast and get the energy you need to start your day! Eating regular meals and healthy foods will make you feel better. Load up with fruits, vegetables, proteins like peanut butter, tuna salad and grains (wheat bread, etc). Sugary snacks only last a short time - once it wears off, you can feel tired than usual. For a snack - grab a banana, string cheese or a granola bar! • Laughter is the best medicine! We’ve all heard that before and it’s true! Head stress off by watching a cartoon, a funny movie or read a funny book. • There’s nothing like friends! Get a group together or just one and do something! A few suggestions - play a board game, hang out and talk, play jump rope, play on the playground, play hopscotch or shoot some hoops! • Take time to relax. Sit and read a good book, take a nap, listen to your favorite music. You need to find time to chill out after a hard day sometimes.

• Get some sleep! Fatigue makes stress worse. When you don’t get enough sleep, it hard to deal with problems, can’t think clearly and sometimes cranky. A problem will often seem bigger than it is and you can’t do your best. • Another great way to relax for some is to write things down in a journal. That way you get it off your chest. Sometimes when you do this, you can figure out solutions. • Organize your day! Being unprepared for school, activities, sports can make anyone’s day stressful. Make an effort to plan better and get things done! You will feel better about yourself in the long run. • Get involved! Get involved in any activity that helps others! It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping others. To help someone else is as easy as holding a door for someone, saying hello or doing a random act of kindness. Everyone feels better when they do a good deed. • Lighten up on yourself! Getting upset over every little thing will increase your stress issues. Let some things slide. Pick only a few of the really important issues to deal with and let the rest go. Plus remember, you are not alone - everyone has stress to deal with. It’s up to you on how you choose to deal with it.
