DominicanRepublic
• The Dominican Re-public in the West In-dies occupies the
eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, which it shares withHaiti. Its area equals that of Vermont and New Hampshire combined.• There are many small offshore islands and cays that are part of theDominican territory. A cay is a low elevation sandy island that isformed on the surface of coral reefs. The two largest islands areSaona and Beata. • The Domican Republic contains the highest mountain range in theWest Indies called the Cordillera Central. Duarte Peak, at 10,417 feet,is the highest point in the West Indies. • The Dominican Republic was explored and claimed by CristopherColumbus on his first voyage in 1492. He named it La Española, andhis son, Diego, was its first viceroy (a royal official that runs the coun-try).• The capital and largest city is Santo Domingo. It was founded in1496 and is the oldest European settlement in the Western Hemi-sphere. Santo Domingo claims the oldest university in the New Worldas well as the oldest house, hospital, street and cathedral. The cathe-dral’s first stone was laid in 1514 by Diego Columbus, ChristopherColumbus’ son. • The government is currently a representative democracy.• The Llano Costero del Caribe is the largest of the plains in theDominican Republic. Stretching north and east of Santo Domingo,it contains many sugar plantations in the savannahs that are com-mon there.• Between the Central and Northern mountain ranges lies the richand fertile Cibao valley. This major valley is home to the city of San-tiago and most of the farming areas in the nation. • The Yaque del Norte is the longest and most important Dominicanriver. It carries excess water down from the Cibao Valley and emp-ties into Monte Cristi Bay.• The country experiences a tropical climate with seasonal changesin temperature. Rainfall varies according to seasons. The Domini-
can Republic lies at theheart of a hurricane beltand this makes it ex-tremely susceptible tostorms from June to Oc-tober.• Spanish is the official language.• Independance Day is the National Holiday. It takes place on Feb-ruary 27. In 1844, the country received its independance from Haiti.• Agriculture: sugarcane, coffee, cotton, cocoa, tobacco, rice, beans,potatoes, corn, bananas, cattle, pigs, dairy products, beef and eggs.• Industries: tourism, sugar processing, ferronickel and gold mining,textiles, cement and tobacco.• Natural resources: nickel, bauxite, gold, silver. • The largest lake is Enriquillo, a salt lake at 131 feet below sealevel, the lowest point in the Caribbean. • Dominican folk music features instruments such as the maracas,tambora (small drum), accordion and the guirra (a percussion instru-ment scraped with a metal rod). The national dance is the méringue. • Dominicans love baseball. Many professional players in the UnitedStates come from the Dominican Republic like Albert Pujols, DavidOrtiz and Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Cathedralof Santa María laMenor in SantoDomingo is theoldest cathedralin the Americas,begun in 1514and completed in1540

It’s Fun To PlayThe Recorder!
Recorders of the past were mainly constructed from wood orivory, but today many are made of plastic. In fact, manufacturersproduce approximately 3.5 million recorders per year!
Recorders are members of the woodwind family. Like the flute,recorders don't have a reed. The recorder has seven finger-holesin front, a thumb-hole behind, and a beak-shaped mouthpiece.There are six members in the recorder family starting from thehighest in pitch (smallest in size) to the lowest (largest in size).They are the Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass and Contra-bass.
The player holds the recorder in front of him or her vertically,blows into the mouthpiece and opens/closes the fingerholes toproduce the notes.
The recorder emerged during the 14th century. Instructionalbooks on the recorder were also published during the 15th century
written by Sebast-ian Virdung (1511)and SilvestroGanassi (1535).People of all socialclasses, common-folk and royaltyalike, played therecorder.
This instrumentwas used duringthe late Renais-sance to theBaroque era. It wasincluded in orches-tras and ensembles. Famous composers such as Antonio Vivaldi,George Frideric Handel and Johann Sebastian Bach featured therecorder in their music. It is written that the earliest documentedpresence of the recorder in North America was in 1633. Today, therecorder still maintains an enormous following.
They are very popular in school music today. There are quite afew reasons. It’s easy to learn. It’s quite inexpensive. It’s closelyspaced finger holes are within the reach of young children. It’s suit-able for solo music and ensemble music. Plus it’s portable!Did You Know?• The English King Henry VIII (1491-1547) played the recorder. Healso collected recorders. He had 76 recorders in his collectionwhen he died.• Playwright William Shakespeare used recorders to play inciden-tal music in ‘Hamlet’ and possibly in ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.• Some pop groups, such as the Beatles and Jethro Tull, have usedthe recorder in their music.

He served in many roles including Governor of NewYork, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier. Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: hisenergy, his vast range of interests and achievements.As Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy, he prepared for and advocated war with Spain in 1898. He or-
ganized and helped command the 1st U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, the Rough Riders, during theSpanish-American War. Returning to New York as a war hero, he was elected Republican governor in1899. He was a professional historian, a lawyer, a naturalist and explorer of the Amazon Basin and his 35books include works on outdoor life, natural history, the American frontier, political history, naval history, andhis autobiography.Roosevelt understood the strategic significance of the Panama Canal, and negotiated for the U.S. to
take control of its construction in 1904; he felt that the Canal's completion was his most important and his-torically significant international achievement. He was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize, win-ning its Peace Prize in 1906, for negotiating the peace in the Russo-Japanese War.As President, Roosevelt held the ideal that the Government should be the great arbiter of the conflict-
ing economic forces in the Nation, especially between capital and labor, guaranteeing justice to each anddispensing favors to none. Roosevelt emerged as a "trust buster" by forcing the dissolution of a great rail-road combination in the Northwest. Roosevelt steered the United States more actively into world politics.He liked to quote a favorite proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick. . . . " Some of Theodore Roo-sevelt's most effective achievements were in conservation. He added enormously to the national forestsin the West, reserved lands for public use, and fostered great irrigation projects. He crusaded endlesslyon matters big and small, exciting audiences with his high-pitched voice, jutting jaw, and pounding fist. "The life of strenuous endeavor" was a must for thosearound him, as he romped with his five younger children and led ambassadors on hikes through Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.Theodore Roosevelt was born in a four-story brownstone at 28 East 20th Street in New York City on October 27, 1858. Unlike many of the earlier "log
cabin Presidents," Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family. As a youngster, Roosevelt was sickly. To combat his poor physical condition, his father com-pelled the young Roosevelt to take up exercise. Roosevelt started boxing lessons. He was mostly home schooled by tutors and his parents. Then grad-uated from Harvard in 1876. He had a photographic memory and developed a life-long habit of devouring books, memorizing every detail. He wasrunner-up in the Harvard boxing championship, losing to C.S. Hanks. The sportsmanship Roosevelt showed in that fight was long remembered.
In 1884 his first wife, Alice Lee Roosevelt, and his mother died on the same day. He married his second wife, Edith Carowin December 1886.

sih-kulz) and these three tiny bones (the Hammer, Anvil & Stirrup)help sound move along on its journey into the inner ear.
The Inner Ear:Sound comes into the inner ear as vibrations and enters the cochlea
(ko-klee-uh), a small, curled tube in the inner ear. The cochlea is filledwith liquid, which is set into motion, when the ossicles vibrate.
The cochlea is also lined with tiny cells covered in tiny hairs that areso small, but they're awfully important. When sound reaches thecochlea, the sound causes the hairs on the cells to move, creatingsignals that the brain understands as sound. The brain puts it to-gether and you hear your favorite song or someone speaking to you.
Ears Keep You Balanced!In the inner ear, there are three small loops above the cochlea
called semicircular canals. Like the cochlea, they are also filled withliquid and have thousands of tiny hairs. When you move your head,the liquid in the semicircular canals moves, too. The liquid moves thetiny hairs, which send a message to your brain about the position ofyour head. In less than a second, your brain sends messages to theright muscles so that you keep your balance.
Ever get dizzy? Try filling a cup halfway with water. Now move thecup around in a circle in front of you, and then stop. Notice how thewater keeps swishing around, even after you’ve stop moving it?That's what happens in your semicircular canals when you spin in cir-cles and get dizzy. When the fluid stops moving - you get your bal-ance back!
Learning About Ears!Ears come in all shapes and sizes! People have them and so do
many animals! Did you hear something? Maybe the sound youheard was as quiet as your dog breathing or maybe it was loudlike a siren. Ears are in charge of collecting sounds, processing them, and
sending sound signals to your brain. And that's not all - your earsalso help you keep your balance. The ear is made up of three different sections - The Outer Ear - The
Middle Ear - The Inner Ear - and they all work together so you canhear!
The Outer Ear:The outer ear is called the auricle (or-ih-kul). This is the part of the
ear that people can see. The main job of the outer ear is to collectsounds.
The outer ear also includes the ear canal, where wax is produced.Earwax is that gross stuff that protects the canal. Earwax containschemicals that fight off infections that could hurt the skin inside theear canal. It also collects dirt to help keep the ear canal clean. Sothat gross stuff is really useful!
The Middle Ear:When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear
canal to the middle ear. The middle ear's main job is to take thosesound waves and turn them into vibrations that are delivered to theinner ear. To do this, it needs the eardrum which is a thin piece ofskin stretched tight like a drum.
When sound waves reach the eardrum, they cause the eardrum tovibrate. When the eardrum vibrates, it moves the tiny ossicles (ah-
