Spring Fever is a feeling of restlessness and excitement felt during the season of spring, especially in the month of May. It’s that urge to want to get outside and do something fun. You can just feel summer coming and you know the school year is winding down soon. For some, it’s hard to concentrate when sunny days are so inviting and warm breezes blow through the classroom windows. It takes extra effort to stay focused.

Bengal Tiger The Bengal Tiger resides in several countries; India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. The population is quite small, estimated at 1,706–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 163–253 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan. Tigers like forest habitats and many of them live in national parks. Tigers are also really special, because they are the national animal of both India and Bangladesh, as well as the mascot for many sports teams and companies. Tigers are really big! Males are on average 110 to 120 inches long and about 35 to 43 inches tall. Females are 94 to 104 inches long. Females weigh about 220 to 350 pounds and males weigh about 400 to 570 pounds! Bengal Tigers usually live in moist and dry forests and grasslands. Many of the reserves meant just for them are located in these areas. Tigers are carnivores, which means they eat meat! They prey on ungulates, hog deer, sometimes even porcupines,
and much more. They rarely hunt humans, and only attack when provoked. Most tiger young are born in December and April. When they are 2 or 3 years old, they start to branch off from the family group to find an area to claim as their own territory. Poaching is a very big problem for tigers. They are often used as hunting prizes, and their fur is valuable. Many reserves lost large populations of their tigers due to humans hunting them. The total population of Bengal tigers in the world has shrunken significantly over the years. This means that they are an endangered species and efforts are taken to protect them.
Did You Know? -A tiger’s roar can be heard up to two miles away! -No two tigers have the same stripes! Every tiger is different. -A Bengal tiger can eat up to 21 kg in one night! That’s almost 50 pounds!

Strawberry Farming There are many benefits from planting strawberries. First, strawberries are a perennial. That means the strawberry plant grows every year without having to be replanted. They do however, need to be replaced about every six to eight years with new plants. Strawberries are also easy to grow and are in high demand by the public. Strawberries are very yummy! Strawberries are a farmer-friendly plant. There is less physical work involved with them because of a short growing season. The worst drawback is that they are susceptible to many pests and diseases. It’s important that farmers buy certified disease free plants. They also need to develop an integrated pest management system for high yields. Strawberries are tolerant of a wide variety of soils and weather conditions. They do best though in fertile, well drained soil where winters don’t get too cold or the summer too hot. Growing enough strawberries to earn a profit involves having enough land, renting or owning machinery and hiring workers. Experienced farmers will be more successful at strawberry faming than hobby gardeners. Start off planting the strawberries in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Work the soil when it is dry - not wet. Plant the new strawberries in the late afternoon or on a cloudy day, covering the top of the roots with soil. After about 4 weeks, the plants will produce runners and new plants.
There are three popular systems for planting strawberries. The first one is called a space row system. This system limits the number of daughter plants that grow from the mother plant. The mother plant is planted 18 to 30 inches apart. The daughter plants are placed to root no closer than 4 inches apart. All the other runners are pulled out or cut from the mother plants. Advantages include larger berries, fewer disease problems and high yields. The matted row system is best for June bearing plants. The strawberries are planted 18 to 30 inches apart in rows 3 to 4 feet apart. Daughter plants are allowed to root freely. They become a matted row no wider than two feet. The hill system is best for growing everbearing strawberries. All the runners are removed so only the original mother plant remains. Multiple rows are planted in groups of 2, 3, or 4 plants about one foot apart and at about two feet between each grouping. Strawberries need about one inch COLOR of water per week during the growME! ing season. Do not plant strawberries where peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes have been grown. These plants could harbor verticillium wilt, a dangerous strawberry disease. For everbearing strawberries, remove their flowers until the end of June. After that, allow the flowers to remain to have fruit for summer harvest. For Sale

Are You Hungry Again? Eating is something we all do! Most children eat three meals a day and most kids snack. Why do kids snack? Because kids need to refuel their body, especially when they are active - like playing games, running, walking, jumping, swinging, etc. Everything you do takes energy and eating correctly helps you make energy. Without energy - your body and your brain get tired. A good rule of thumb with snacks though, is if you aren’t hungry, don’t eat and don’t snack too close to mealtimes. It’s very important to eat your well balanced meal. It’s also never good to eat food because you are bored or just watching television. Over-doing on snacks is never a good idea. What is a healthy snack? Junk food is not healthy. Try to avoid food with high sugar or high fats in them. They will not keep you satisfied for very long. Potato

chips have lots of calories and fat and so do candy bars. Soda pops contain high levels of sugar. Healthy snacks will give you more energy and nutrients. Let’s look at some great choices. Take oranges for instance. They will give you quick energy as you eat it and vitamin C for later. Whole grains such as breads and muffins will make you feel full longer.
Here’s some healthy snack choices: • Fresh fruit such as apples, bananas, grapes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, melons, etc. • Dried fruits, including raisins and prunes. • Fruit cups or canned fruit in water, 100% fruit juice • Raw vegetables - including carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower that can be served with a low-fat dip or dressing. • Dairy products such as low-fat cheese, yogurt, pudding or a homemade fruit smoothie. • Whole grain snacks. These can include some breakfast cereals, crackers, cereal bars, baked chips, popcorn (without added butter) or pretzels. • Popsicles made with 100% fruit juice.

Fun Games To Play Outside! Spring means we’re all outside more! Yeah! That is a fun place to play games and enjoy the companionship of many friends and make new ones! The following are games you can play with more than one person.
Catch One, Catch All! Catch One, Catch All is usually played in a large field or yard with at least 10 participants. One person in the group is “it.” The first person she or he tags is also “it.” Now, the two “its” chase the others who when tagged are “its” also, and so on, until the last person is caught. The last person caught is “it” for the next round of play. There is no real winner, just pride in being the last one caught.
Simon Says One person is chosen to be “Simon” and the rest stand in a straight line. The Simon begins by calling out an action for the rest to follow. It can be anything like, “Simon says to touch your toes” or “Simon says to jump 10 times on 1 foot.” Everyone must follow that instruction. But when the Simon simply says the action by itself...”touch your ears” or “clap your hands” - then whoever does that action is out and has to sit down. You can use different actions according to the age group of children you are playing with. The last person who is standing becomes the next “Simon.”
Red Rover, Red Rover This game is when the kids form two opposing lines and attempt to”break through” the opposing team’s line. At first two teams are chosen of equal size, and they form two lines, facing each other

and holding hands. One side starts by picking a person on the opposing team and saying “Red Rover, Red Rover, send (Molly) right over.” Molly then lets go of her teammates hands and begins a headlong rush for the other line. Her goal is to break through the line by overpowering the kid’s hand hold on each other. If Molly breaks through, she chooses one person from the opposing team to join her team and they both go back and join in their line. If she fails to break through, Molly becomes part of the other team. Each team alternates calling people over until one team has all the people and is pronounced the winner. The best part is that, since all the players are on the winning team at the end, there really are no losers in the game. Just remember that the goal is not to hurt each other, it’s to play.
Freeze Tag This is another version of the game of Tag. One person is still “it”, but when they touch someone, that person is “frozen” in place. They cannot move and must stand with their feet apart. The only way they can become unfrozen is if a person crawls under their legs! Play continues until all the players are frozen. Then the last person to be frozen is “it” for the next game.
