Farwell Elementary S.P.A.R.K.S. program started June15 with 57 students enrolled. The FES S.P.A.R.K.S. pro-gram serves 1st – 4th grade students. Our focus this sum-mer is telling time and counting money. The students aremaking great gains our first two weeks. Every week the program has either a special event or a field trip. Thursday June 18th ,

S.P.A.R.K.S. had a “Family and Friends Carnival and Picnic”. We had over 150 students, fam-ily and friends in attendance. The weather was great and everyone had a great time. MakaylaWiseman said, “The bounce house was amazing and I enjoyed snow cones!” Thursday June25th S.P.A.R.K.S. went on a field trip to the Pleasant Meadows Family Recreation Center inLake. We had 40 students attend this trip. Some had never played mini gulf before. SarahWiseman said, “I loved the waterfall. It was beautiful. I loved gulfing and got a hole in two.”

The program focus is academics in the morning andenrichment in the afternoon. There are more eventsand trips planned for the rest of the program. Return-ing favorites from last summer are the “Family UpCycle Craft Afternoon” and “Water Day,.” DiscoveryMuseum, Saginaw Zoo, Herrick Park and a trip toMackinaw Island are the trips we will be taking over thenext few weeks. We will also have a “Family Film Fes-tival” the last week of the program. Students will havethe opportunity to have their films viewed by students,friends and family. This summer the students are mak-ing “stillmation films”.

One warm summer day when I was five years old, I climbed under-neath a bush to play. To my surprise, I saw hundreds of ladybugscrawling over the moist ground under the bush. I had discovered “aladybug garden party”. I watched these wonderful insects for a longtime. What an exciting discovery I had made in my Gram’s gardenthat day!As you enjoy your summer vacation, take time to slow down and dis-

cover the world of insects. Being an insect detective and searching foramazing insects can be really fun. Sit beneath a tree, beside a pond,or by a flower garden. You may find a ladybug, grasshopper, ant, oreven a stick bug. Whatever you find, look at its shape, color, legs, andeyes. Sometimes we only find insects we have seen before, but othertimes we can discover new ones. My favorite insects are ladybugsand grasshoppers. Do you have a favorite insect?

It is wonderful to watch insects living, working, eating and playingall around us. There is always a new discovery waiting in the summeroutdoors when you take the time to look.

Have fun in the beautiful outdoors!

The Importance ofRivers

What is a river? A river is freshwater flowing across the surface of theland, usually to the sea. Rivers flow in channels. The bottom of the chan-nel is called the bed and the sides of the channel are called banks. Rivers begin at their source in higher ground such as mountains or hills.

Rain water or melting snow collects and forms tiny streams. When onestream meets another and they merge together, the smaller stream is knownas a tributary. It takes many tributary streams to form a river. As the riverflows downstream, it gains more water from other streams, rivers, springs,added rainfall and other water sources. The majority of rivers eventuallyflow into a larger body of water such as an ocean, sea or large lake. Theend of a river is called the mouth.There are some rivers that begin where a natural spring releases water

from underground. Another source of some rivers is a lake. For example,the source of the River Nile is Lake Victoria in Burundi. Another example isif rain water can’t sink into the ground because the ground is too wet al-ready, the water then forms a bog. The water flows out of the bog to formlakes and streams.

Here Are Some Reasons That Rivers Are Very Important To Us• Water - Rivers carry water and nutrients to areas all around the earth. Theyplay an important part in the water cycle and act as drainage channels forsurface water. Rivers drain nearly 75% of the earth’s land surface.• Habitat - Rivers provide excellent habitat and food for many of the earth’sorganisms. Ducks, voles, otters and beavers make their homes on the riverbanks. Many rare plants and trees grow by the rivers such as reeds and bul-rushes. Birds like kingfishers as well as bears eat small fish from the river.In Africa, animals like antelopes, lions and elephants go to the rivers forwater to drink. The river deltas have many different species of insects, mam-mals and birds that make it their home.• Transportation - Rivers provide travel routes for exploration, commerceand recreation.• Farming - River valleys and plains provide fertile soils. Farmers in dry re-gions irrigate their cropland using water carried by irrigation ditches fromnearby rivers.• Energy - Rivers are an energy source. During the early industrial era, mills,shops and factories were built near fast flowing rivers where water could beused to power machines. Today steep rivers are used to power hydroelec-tric plants and their water turbines.

Quick River Facts• The term upriver (or upstream) refers to the direction of the river’s water

source. Downriver (or downstream) refers to the direction in which thewater flows, towards the end of the river.• The Ganges (Northern India), Yangtze (China) and Indus (Pakistan)rivers are three of the most polluted on earth.• The Colorado River travels through the south western United Statesand north western Mexico. It is home to the famous Hoover Dam.• The longest river in the United States is the Missouri River thatstretches to around 2,340 miles in length which is slightly longer thanthe Mississippi River. These two combine to form the longest riversystem in North America reaching 3,902 miles. It is also the fourthlongest in the world!• The longest river in the world is the Nile River. The Nile Riverreaches around 4,132 miles in length. Located in Africa, the Nile Riverlies in the following countries: Kenya, Eritrea, Congo, Burundi,Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. It has a hugesignificance in regards to Ancient Egypt.Most of Ancient Egypt’s historical sites are located along the banks

of the Nile River including cities such as Luxor and Cairo. The NileDelta in Northern Egypt is where the Nile River drains to the Mediter-ranean Sea. It is around 100 miles in length and spreads out over 149miles of coastline. It is rich in agriculture and has been farmed forthousands of years. Around 40 million people, which is approximatelyhalf of Egypt’s population, live in the Nile Delta region. The Aswan High Dam was built in 1970 to help regulate the flooding

of the Nile River. Before the dam was built, years that had high levelsof water would flood out crops while years of low level water wouldproduce famine and drought. The dam helps control these levels.

BetsyRoss

Betsy Ross was born in 1752 as ElizabethPheobe Griscom. She was born as the eighthchild out of seventeen, but only eight of her sib-lings lived to be adults. Betsy grew up in Philadel-phia and attended a Quaker-run school. Her greataunt taught her how to sew, and after her schoolshe took up an apprenticeship with a carpender.There she met a young man named John Ross,and the young couple married in 1773 when Betsywas only 21 years old. The legend says that Betsy Ross created the

first American flag in 1776, and she presented it toGeorge Washington himself. This information wasgiven by her grandson, and no record was kept,but the legend lived and Betsy Ross was viewed as an Americanrole-model for many young girls in the years to come. She wascredited for replacing the original six -pointed stars with easier five-pointed stars. This new design made her legend famous. Leg-end has it that George Ross - a respected Philadelphian, RobertMorris - was prehaps the wealthiest citizen in the Colonies andGeneral George Washington asked her to sew the first flag. BetsyRoss was acquainted with General Washington as they both wor-shiped at Christ Church and her pew was next to George andMartha Washington. Her daughter recalled, “That she was previ-ously well acquainted with Washington, and that he had often beenin her house in friendly visits, as well as on business. That shehad embroidered ruffles for his shirt bosoms and cuffs, and that itwas partly owing to his friendship for her that she was chosen tomake the flag.”On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress, seeking to pro-

mote national pride and unity, adopted the national flag. "Resolved:

that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate redand white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, rep-resenting a new constellation." John Ross died in the Revolutionary war, and Betsy Ross re-

married twice after his death. Her second husband was JosephAshburn, a mariner who was later captured and died in an Englishprison. Betsy married agan in 1783 to John Claypoole and they hadfive daughters together. The family remained in Philadelphia, andkept her upholstery business running herself until the eldest daugh-ter Clarissa took over the business. In 1836, Betsy Ross died at theage of 84. Her house today is open for visits, and is a very popularsight to see.

Above is: Betsy Ross presenting the first American flag toGeneral George Washington, by Edward Percy Moran.

People farm with bees for many reasons. Bees are beneficial in-sects because they produce honey, beeswax, and pollinate crops.Anyone can keep bees but there are also problems that go with it.They have the ability to sting!The farmer needs a suitable location, proper equipment and to find

out where to get their bees from a supplier. They also need to learnas much as possible about bees from expert beekeepers and booksbefore they get started.

Let’s talk about bees. They are four-winged, flower feeding in-sects. They have body hairs and enlarged hind feet. Most beeshave a stinger! Honeybees and bumble bees are the most common.Bumblebees are larger and stronger than honeybees. Honeybeesare very popular and have been adopted by at least sixteen states astheir state insect. There are actually 10,000 to 20,000 species ofbees!Honeybees are social bees and live in colonies. They are small in-

sects. A small colony or hive contains about 20,000 bees. They hiveis made up of one queen, hundreds of drones and thousands ofworker bees. The queen bee creates all the babies for the hive. The

drones are male beeswithout stingers andthe worker bees areall females that can’thave babies. The hive ismade up

of cells made of wax.This is where thequeen bee lays hereggs. She can lay1500 eggs in a singleday. When theyhatch, they are fed bythe worker bees. Theworker bees alsoclean the hive andthey build comb cells.It is in the comb cells

they store the honey. The workers collect pollen and nectar from flowers. They use

a form of dancing to communicate information to each other re-garding where the food they find is at. The pollen is used asthe protein source and the nector as the energy source. Whenthe pollen lands on the pistils of the flower, it results in cross-pol-lination. This is important for the farmer’s crops and flowers.Watermelon, cantaloupe and cucumbers are just a few of thecrops that require honeybees to pollinate. Bees then turn thenectar into honey.It takes over four thousand flowers to make just a tablespoon

of honey!

It’s Fun To PlayThe Trumpet!

The trumpet is a musical instrument in the brass family. Of all brass in-struments, the trumpet is highest in register, above the French horn, trom-bone, baritone, euphonium, and tuba. A musician who plays the trumpet iscalled a trumpet player or trumpeter. As with all brass instruments, thesound is produced by buzzing the lips into a mouthpiece.

The oldest trumpets date back to 1500 B.C.E.and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets fromTutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs fromScandinavia, and metal trumpets from Chinadate back to this period. The earliest trumpetswere signaling instruments used for military orreligious purposes, rather than music in themodern sense.

Trumpet Facts:

• Taking care of a trumpet is easy! It is stored in just two pieces in the carrying case. The only regular main-tenance is to oil the valves and grease the slides as it’s needed.• The trumpet is played with the right hand on the top of the instrument with the first three fingers resting onthe valves. The left hand holds the trumpet with the fingers wrapped around the middle of the valves.• The trumpet is a very versatile and widely used instrument. Trumpets are always needed in bands, sym-phony orchestras, jazz groups and small instrumental groups. It is very common for the trumpet to performa large number of solos and melodic lines in all of these groups. The trumpet also works well as a solo in-strument. • There are many different kinds of trumpets. The most common type is the B-flat trumpet, but C, D, E-flat,E, F, G and A trumpets are also available.• The trumpet is used in nearly all forms of music, including classical, jazz, rock, blues, pop, ska, polka andfunk.
