Flag Day is a day for Americans to celebrate and show respect for our flag. Our flag is a representa-tive of our independence and our unity as a nation. It has a proud history. The flag was at the head ofevery battle fought. Many people died protecting it. It even stands proudly on the surface of the moon.As Americans, we have every right to be proud of our culture, our nation and our flag.

Did you know?• Betsy Ross was a seamstress who made clothes for George Washington. In June, 1776, Washington approached her to make thecountry's first flag and the rest is history.• Francis Scott Key, inspired by the British bombardment of Fort McHenry, wrote the lyrics to our national anthem as he witnessed theevent as British rockets whizzed in the air while our American Flag flew in the breeze?

Write about some of the places you’ve noticed the American flag being flown and you’ve sang our National Anthem.

Celebrate Flag Day June 14th!


That TastesSoooooGood!!

Everyone has their favorite food they LOVE to eat! Have youever wondered how you can taste your favorite food? Tastingyour food has everything to do with your taste buds!Taste buds are sensory organs found on your tongue. These or-

gans allow you to taste the four basic tastes which are sweet,salty, sour and bitter.If you stick out your tongue and look into the mirror, you will see

bumps on it. They are called papillae. Most of these contain tastebuds which have a very sensitive microscopic hair called microvilliin them. These tiny hairs send messages to the brain about whatyou are tasting, so you will know if it is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter.The average person has around 10,000 taste buds in their

mouth. They are replaced every two weeks or so. There are twothings that reduce the number of taste buds in your mouth. Thefirst one is smoking. Smoking can reduce the amount of tastebuds you have. The second reason is age. An older person hasreduced working taste buds. As a result, younger people have astronger sense of taste.Your nose plays an important part in this also. In the upper part

of your nose, there are Olfactory Receptors that have special cellswhich help you smell. These receptors send messages to thebrain too. While you’re chewing food, the food releases chemicalsthat travel up into your nose, triggering the receptors. Togetherwith the taste buds, they send a message to your brain. In thisway, you learn the true flavor of the food you are eating. Whenyou have a cold and your nose is stuffy, you will notice that yourfood doesn’t have much taste because your Olfactory Receptorscan’t receive the chemicals from the food!

Try This!You will need:4 small bowls1 teaspoon of salt1 teaspoon of sugar1 teaspoon of lemon juice1 teaspoon of vinegar1 glass of water to rinse out the tastes in your mouth1 spoon

In each bowl, add 1/4 cup of water. In the first bowl, mix in thesugar. In the second bowl, mix in the salt. In the third bowl, mix inthe lemon juice and in the fourth bowl, mix in the vinegar.Close your eyes and pinch your nose while having an adult put

a small amount of solution in your mouth. See if you can guesswhat it is. Then unplug your nose and guess again. Rinse out yourmouth and repeat this process with the rest of the solutions!

Hands-On Science!Kindergarten students in

Mrs. Crittenden’s classroomare having fun learning howto use a hand lens! They arediscovering how it changesthe way we see things andhow to make observations(the gathering of informationby carefully looking at some-thing). This is all part of our“Senses” science unit in

which we explore our five senses and of course thesense of sight is the focus for this particular lesson.Students observed feathers, shells, and rocks and theyenjoyed seeing how the hand lens made it easier to seethe fine details of each material. After making observations, students were then able toillustrate their observations by choosing one of the ob-jects and drawing what it looked like before they viewedit with a hand lens and then how it appeared by viewingit with a hand lens. Students were excited to show thefine details in their drawings and the feather was espe-cially a popular subject to illustrate!

Benjamin Harri-son was born onAugust 20, 1833 inNorth Bend, Ohio.He was the secondof 8 children. Hewas also thegrandson of Presi-dent William HenryHarrison and thegreat grandson ofr e v o l u t i o n a r yleader and formerVirginia governorBenjamin Harrison. His early school-

ing took place in aone room school-

house near his home. After graduating from Miami University inOxford, Ohio, he took up the study of law in the Cincinnati law of-fice of Storer and Gwynne. Before completing his law studies, hemarried Caroline Lavinia Scott, who was the daughter of a Pres-byterian minister in 1853. During their married life, they had twochildren, Russell and Mary (known as Mamie). He was admittedto the bar and began practicing law.He joined the Republican Party shortly after it’s formation in

1856. He supported Abraham Lincoln for President. In 1862, hejoined the Seventeenth Regiment of the Indiana Volunteers dur-ing the Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of Brigadier General.After the war, he ran for Governor of Indiana. He lost that race buthe became influential with the new Republican party. In 1880, hewas named to the United States Senate by the Indiana State Leg-islature. Note: Senators were not elected by popular vote until1913. During this time he championed pensions for Civil War Vet-erans, high protective tariffs, a modernized Navy and conserva-

Harrison advocated the conservation of forest re-serves and he embarked on an adventurous foreign policy thatincluded U.S. expansion in the Pacific and the building of a canalacross Central America. He also supported the landmark Sher-man Antitrust Act, the first bill ever to attempt to limit the power ofAmerica’s giant corporations. In the area of Civil Rights for AfricanAmericans, Harrison endorsed two bills designed to prevent South-ern states from denying African Americans the vote, and he ap-pointed the great and eloquent former slave Frederick Douglassas minister to Haiti.On the international front, he convened the first Pan-American

Conference in 1889. He negotiated an American protectorate overthe Samoan Islands, attempted to annex Hawaii and continued thework of modernizing and expanding the United States Navy. Mostimportantly, he saw trade as an essential part of the nation’s foreignpolicy and negotiated a number of important reciprocal tradeagreements that set the pattern for American trade policy.In 1892, he lost his bid for re-election for President and during thistime, his wife Carolinehad passed away. Hereturned home to Indi-anapolis after leavingthe White House in1893. After someyears, he marriedagain. Her name wasMary Lord. Together,they had a daughter,Elizabeth.

Now that the weather is warmer, we’re outside more! Thatmeans you can enjoy the companionship of many friends or makenew ones. Plus you can get plenty of exercise when your out run-ning around! The following are some group games you can play.

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”. Thefirst person he or she tags is also “it”. Now, the two “its” chase theothers who when tagged are “its” also and so on. This goes onuntil the last person is caught. The last person caught is “it” forthe next round of play. There is no real winners, just the pride inbeing the last one caught.

Simon SaysOne person is chosen to be “Simon” and the rest stand in a

straight line. The “Simon” begins by calling out an action for therest to follow. It can be anything like “Simon says to touch yourtoes” or “Simon says to jump 10 times on 1 foot.” Everyone mustfollow that instruction. But when “Simon” simply says the action by

itself - such as “Touch your ears”or “Clap your hands” then who-ever does that action - is out andhas to sit down. You can use dif-ferent actions according to theage group of children you areplaying with. The last personwho is standing can then be thenext “Simon”.

Red Rover, Red RoverThis game is when the kids

form two opposing lines and at-tempt to “break through” the op-posing team’s line. At first, two

Outside Games!

teams are chosen of equal size, and they form two lines, facingeach other and holding hands. One side starts by picking a per-son on the opposing team and saying “Red Rover, Red Rover,send (Tom) right over!” Tom then lets go of his teammate’s handsand begins a headlong rush for the other line. His goal is to breakthrough the line by overpowering the kid’s hold on eachother. IfTom breaks through, he chooses one person from that opposingteam to join his original team. They both then go back and join intheir line. If he fails to break through, Tom becomes part of theother team. Each team alternates calling people over until oneteam has all the people and is pronounced the winner. The bestpart is, since all the players are on the winning team at the end,there are not losers in this game.

Freeze TagThis is another version of the game 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 onlyway they can become unfrozen is if a person crawls under theirlegs. Play continues until all the players are frozen. Then the lastperson to be frozen is “it” for the next game.

Is your family moving this summer or do you know someone thatis moving? It’s normal to be scared, excited or even angry aboutmoving to a different location. Moving is also not easy for adults.Whether you, a friend, classmate or neighbor is moving, it’s im-portant to understand how that makes you feel.People move for many reasons. Some of these reasons include

buying a larger home for a growing family, job transfers, or want-ing to live in a different city. Worries such as “will I make anyfriends or find my way in a new school” are not uncommon. It’s im-portant to talk about these feelings with your parents. You will feelmuch better and they will be happy you shared your feelings withthem.Moving can also be an adventure. Maybe you will have your

own room and new places to explore. It helps if you find out aboutthe new place you’re moving to. Is it a house or an apartment?Maybe you can look at it before you move there so you can seeyour bedroom. If you see kids around where you will live, say hito them and introduce yourself. They could be future friends.Check out your new school. Mom and Dad can usually arrange

a visit to get you acquainted with it. That way, on the first day ofschool next fall, you will be able to find your way around. If youenjoy sports or band, find out what is offered at your new schooland how to join in.Packing up is a chore. A good idea would be to ask for a spe-

cial box that will be labeled with your name. You can put your fa-vorite things in it. It may be a good plan to put in your toothbrush,pajamas, sheets and pillow for your first night at the new house.You’ll find that box easily because it will have your name on it.When you are packed up, it’s time to say goodby to friends and

neighbors. If you’re moving to another city, grab an address bookor paper so you can write down names, addresses and e-mails.Then you can keep in touch after you move. If you have a cam-era, take a picture of your friends, school and neighborhood. After

“I’m Stressed OutAbout Moving!”

unpacking at yournew house, you canmake a scrapbookout of these or dec-orate a bulletinboard.When the moving

day finally arrives,it’s okay to feel a lit-tle sad, especially ifyou are moving to adifferent city. Par-ents feel sad too.Again, talk aboutyour feelings withthem. When youarrive at your newhome, remember tograb your box of fa-vorite things and start unpacking. It’s great to keep busy. Oncethat’s done and your familiar things are around the house, you willbegin to feel at home. Little by little you will start making newfriends in the neighborhood.When you first go to your new school, you may feel a little scared,

but you will meet new friends every day. Get involved with yournew schoolmates by joining clubs, sports or after school programsand activities. If you are having trouble doing this, talk to your par-ents and ask them for suggestions. It’s normal to feel a littlestressed out about moving somewhere, but give it time. Soon youwill begin to feel comfortable in your new surroundings. If you no-tice that there is a new boy or girl that has moved into your neigh-borhood or is new at school, be a good friend and make them feelwelcome.


Harriet TubmanHarriet Tubman

was born a slaveon a plantation inMaryland. Herbirth name wasAraminta Ross butshe took the nameof her mother, Har-riet when she wasthirteen.She lived in a

one room cabinwith her family.When she wasonly six, she wasloaned to anotherfamily where shehelped take care ofa baby. Later, sheworked a numberof jobs on the plan-tation such asplowing fields andloading produce.

She became strong doing manual labor. At thirteen, Harriet re-ceived a head injury. A slave owner tried to throw an iron weight atone of his slaves, but hit Harriet instead. It almost killed her and forthe rest of her life she had dizzy spells and blackouts.During this time there were states in the northern United States

where slavery was outlawed. Slaves would try to escape to thenorth using the Underground Railroad. This wasn't a real railroad.It was a number of safe homes (called stations) that hid slaves asthey traveled north. The people that helped the slaves were calledconductors. Slaves would move from station to station at night, hid-

ing in the woods or sneaking onto trains until they finally reachedthe north and freedom.In 1849, Harriet decided to escape. She used the Underground

Railroad and made it to Pennsylvania. In 1850, the Fugitive SlaveAct was passed meaning that slaves could be taken from freestates and returned to their owners. In order to be free, slaves hadto escape to Canada. Because Harriet wanted to help others andthat included her family, she joined the Underground Railroad as aconductor.She led nineteen escapes from the south and help around 300

slaves to escape. She was known as “Moses” because, like theMoses in the Bible, she led her people to freedom risking her life.She was never caught and never lost a slave.Harriet also helped during the Civil War. She nursed injured sol-diers, served as a spy for the North and helped on a military cam-paign that led to the rescue of over 750 slaves.After the Civil War, Harriet lived in New York with her family. Thereshe helped the poor and sick and spoke out on equal right forblacks and women.

Did you know?• She was very religious learning about the Bible from her mother.• She bought a house in Auburn, New York for her parents afterhelping them escape from the South.• She married John Tubman in 1844. She married again in 1869 toNelson Davis.• Harriet was so good at helping slaves to escape that at one time,slave owners offered a reward of $40,000 for her capture. Thatwas a whole lot of money back then!

I Want To PlayThe Accordion!

The accordion was invented in the early 1800’s in Europe (drawing fromthe concept of older Chinese instruments). It took its shape in its mod-ern form later in that century. At that time, it was able to make a loudsound as amplification hadn’t been around yet. So, it became quite pop-ular for dance music.It is believed that most accordions came to America with traveling Ger-

man merchants. It gained its popularity in various communities and es-pecially with folk music.There are three main types of accordion - diatonic, chromatic and key-

board. Diatonic and chromatic accordions have buttons for keys and key-board accordionshave a piano key-board for keys. In thestandard accordion,the keys are on theplayer’s right handside of the instrument.The left hand side haschord or bass notesthat are used to playrhythm. Keyboard or piano

accordions are gener-ally the most recog-nizable to the generalpublic. They havebeen very popular.Some people thathave made them pop-ular are Lawrence

Welk and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Accordions make noise when the bellows fill with air and

this air is forced out of holes which have a small reed overthem. Accordion makers tune these reeds by hand andeach note may trigger anywhere from one to four reeds.The more reeds, the more volume.

Land Birds With The Largest Wingspan!The Marabou Stork

The Marabou Stork is a large wading bird in the stork family. It lives in Africa, south of theSahara, in both wet and arid habitats, often near human habitation.A massive bird, large specimens are thought to reach a height of 60 inches or 5 feet, a weightof over 20 pounds and have a wingspan of at least 10.5 feet! It shares the distinction of hav-ing the largest wingspan of any landbird with the An-dean Condor. Unlike most storks, they fly with theneck retracted like a heron.The Marabou is unmistakable due to its size, bare

head and neck, black back, and white underparts. Ithas a huge bill, a pink gular sack at its throat, a neck

ruff and black legs and wings.In the African dry season, the female builds a tree nest in which two or three eggs are laid.The Marabou Stork is a frequent scavenger. It often feeds with the vultures. This large and

powerful bird will eat different kinds of animals, including small mammals, reptiles, termites, fish,locusts, grasshoppers, caterpillars, frogs, rodents, crocodile eggs and hatchings, doves, youngand adult flamingoes and pelican chicks.

The Andean CondorThe Andean Condor is a species of South American Bird in the New World vulture family

Cathartidae. Found in the Andes Mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of Western SouthAmerica, it is the largest flying land bird in the Western Hemisphere.The average wingspan ranges from 9 to 10 feet and males weigh up to 33 pounds! It is a

large black vulture with a ruff of white feathers surrounding the base of the neck and, espe-cially the males - large white patches on the wings. The head and neck are nearly feather-less and are a dull red color, which may flush andtherefore change color in response to the bird’s emo-tional state. In the male, there is a wattle on the neckand a large, dark red comb or caruncle on the crownof the head. Unlike most birds of prey, the male is

larger than the female.The condor is primarily a scavenger, feeding on carrion. It prefers large carcasses, such as

those of deer or cattle. Its roosts at elevations of 10,000 to 16,000 feet, generally on inacces-sible rock ledges. One or two eggs are usually laid by the female. It is one of the world’slongest living birds with a lifespan of up to 50 years.

Its closest neighbor that’s inhabited is PitcaimIsland, which is 1,289 miles to the west with fewer than one hundredinhabitants. • Easter Island is also called Rapa Nui, or it’s official Spanish name isIsla de Pascua which also means “Easter Island”. The name “EasterIsland” was given by the island’s first recorded European visitor, theDutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sun-day, April 5, 1722. • The island is approximately 15 miles long and 7.6 miles at its widestpoint. It has an area of only a little over 63 square miles.• Easter Island has three extinct volcanoes, the tallest rising to 1674feet.

Polynesia at around 400 AD. The average moai statue is 14 feet, 6inches tall and weigh 14 tons. Some are as large as 33 feet andweigh more than 80 tons.
