Tiny Tetras

Too Many Tetras!? Tetras make a fabulous addition to any community tank! There are so many types to choose from that the combinations are endless.

Tetras are cool little fish that come from South America. They live in rivers and lakes usually in large schools. “Tetra” is a name that loosely refers to over 150 types of fish, most from South America, but some Wether you choose good from Africa. Imagine having 150 cousins! While they may be cousins, they can be quite ol’ neon tetras, bleeding heart tetras, or the large different.

and super cool congo tetras, you have a group of colorful little fish that put on quite a show.

Tetras in the wild are actually dinner for angel fish! These tiny fish eat insects and insect larvae. And in turn are eaten by the larger angel fish.

Try This!

These cute little schooling fish are the perfect choice.

With over 150 types of tetras, they have some really crazy names...penguin tetras, red-nose tetras, black phantom tetras, bucktooth tetra, coffee-bean tetra, firehead tetra, jellybean tetra, and x-ray tetras...just to name a few! The most commonly known are neon tetras. Explorers in the early 1900s would find these cool little fish and try to bring them back to the United States. Many are now raised by breeders so they do not need to be taken out of the wild for aquariums. Make a tetra mobile: What you will need: Shishkabob sticks string fish cut outs crayons scissors

1. Color and cut out 6 different types of tetras. 2. Tie them with string to the ends of the sticks 3. Tie the three sticks together so they hang below each other. 4. Adjust fish strings so each stick is level.

Tetras in the wild are rare and unique to see in the rivers of South America. But with the help of a home aquarium, you can see these cool fish put on a show any time!

A Hungry Dinosaur

Let’s Make And Decorate A Dinosaur!

The dinosaur known as the Brontosaurus is now called the Apatosaurus. It was one of the largest land animals that has ever existed. This dinosaur lived in what is known as the Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago. The Apatosaurus, hatched from enormous foot long eggs and may have lived long enough to celebrate100 birthdays! This huge dinosaur was an herbivore which means it ate only plants. The hungry Apatosaurus must have spent his entire day munching and crunching on plants to maintain his massive body. This gigantic plant-eater measured about 80 feet long or close to the length of two school buses. It stood about 30 feet tall or the height of a 4 story building. It weighed roughly 30 tons; the weight of 10 cars! Apatosaurus had a very tiny brain in a small head which was less than 2 feet long. The Apatosaurus had a long neck and a long tail. It had four massive column-like legs with the back legs being longer than the front legs. We know all this because people have found fossilized remains of the Apatosaurus in the Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming and Canada. If you would like to look for dinosaurs bones when you grow up, you can become a scientist called a “Paleontologist”. In the meantime, one way to enjoy and learn about dinosaurs is to create them. Use the following sample to create your own Apatosaurus!

Celebrate all things “saurus”!

YMCA BEFORE & AFTER CARE PROGRAM

Procedure: Draw a line to divide a paper plate in half. On half of the circle, draw a tail, front leg, back leg, and the neck and head as shown. Using scissors, cut out the dinosaur pieces.

Color the dinosaur using crayon, paint or markers. Decorate with shapes, patterns and bright colors. Attach the pieces with tape or glue. To create a moving dinosaur, attach with paper fasteners!

“Bundle Up So You Don’t Catch Cold!” We hear that sentence quite often during the colder months. Everyone seems to get a cold at some point or another during the school year in spite of all the precautions. Did you know that the cold is the number one reason kids stay home from school? What exactly is a cold? A cold is an infection of the upper respiratory system caused by a virus. It affects the throat, ears and nose. The most common cold virus is called the rhinovirus (pronounced rahy-noh-vahy-ruhs) but there are more than two hundred other viruses that can cause a cold. There is not even a vaccination to prevent the common cold yet. But luckily for us, our immune system defends our bodies against illnesses. White blood cells are the body’s fighters that work to help you feel better. Catching a cold is easy but not fun. Mucus is the slimy stuff that’s 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 by touching something with the cold virus on it like a door handle, desks, phones, video games and then touch your eyes, mouth or nose. That’s why it’s so important to wash your hands often. Some symptoms of a cold virus are a low-grade fever, body chills, itchy or sore throat, sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, coughing, tiredness, body aches and congestion. If you feel any of these things, its best to tell your parents or a responsible adult. Sometimes children can develop complications from their cold, such as an ear infection, sinusitis or can trigger asthma so your parents need to know how you are feeling. How can you prevent getting the common cold? Here’s some ideas:

Help Fight The War On Germs! • Try to steer clear of anyone who has a cold. Virus particles can travel up to twelve feet through the air when someone with a cold coughs or sneezes. • Wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially when you blow your nose. • Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. Sneeze or cough into a shirtsleeve and not your hands. • Do not use the same towels or silverware as someone who has a cold. • Do not drink from the same glass or bottle as anyone else. You never know who’s getting sick. • Do not pick up tissues from other people. Make sure they are always thrown away be the person using them. • Don't be around smoke.
