Dansville 5th graders traveled to Mystic Lake Camp for a week long, outdoor education adventure in mid-Octo-

school counselors, teachers, and over twenty parent chaperones. Throughout the week, students attended 17 different classes ranging from team building activities, survival skills, ecology studies, nature photography, to a Native American studies class. Each class delivered the material in a hands-on manner, and connects to educa-tional standards particularly in the areas of Science and Social Studies. Students also participated in P.E. activities including frisbee golf, a giant swing, and a forty-foot climb-ing wall! Campers had the opportunity to show off various skills during evening activities like a talent show and skit night. This experience is fun, educational, and a growing opportunity that creates life-long memories for campers, teachers, and parent chaperones alike!

Why Are YouRight-Handed orLeft-Handed?

Do you know that more than 90% of the world is right-handed?But, there are more left-handed peoples than ever before. One ofthe main reasons for this is that years ago, teachers forced left-handed kids to write with their right hand! They were told that wasthe correct way. Actually, being left-handed is perfectly alright andtotally natural.

What makes a person left or right handed? Scientists are notsure and not all agree on the answer. They have noted however,that being left-handed runs in families. So the hypothesis or guessis that your genes or DNA influences whether or not you turn out tobe left-handed or right-handed. Many scientists also believe thatmost people’s brains develop more on one side than on the other.And since the left side of your brain controls the muscles on theright side of your body, and the right side of your brain controls theleft side of your body, this could influence the muscles in your handsas well. If the left side of your brain is more developed, than you areright-handed. If the right side of your brain is more developed, thenyou are left-handed. If your brain is equally developed on bothsides, you are ambidextrous which means you can use one handas well as the other.

Sometimes getting hurt can also make a person left-handed orright-handed. If you injure your hand and can’t use it anymore, youbecome the opposite of the injured hand.

The rumor is not true that left handed people are always artsy.Two famous artists, Rembrandt and Van Gogh are two good ex-amples of that as they were right handed. Here's how that theorybegan. For both righties and lefties, the brain is divided right downthe middle into two sides called hemispheres. One hemisphere ison the right side of your head, and the other is on the left. Buthere's the strange part: For complicated reasons, the right hemi-sphere controls movements on the left half of the body, which in-cludes the left hand. The left hemisphere controls movements on

the right side.Creative thought (writing a song, drawing a picture) happens

mostly on the right side of the brain. So if you're left-handed, thetheory goes that you're more likely to have a lot of creative thoughtgoing on. But thought processes in your brain are way too com-plex to be limited to just one hemisphere. The two sides of yourbrain work together when you think. So, just because you likeusing your left hand doesn't mean you only think with only oneside of your brain.

In the past, most products on the market such as scissors, sportsequipment and musical instruments were made for only right-handed people. Now most items are made both ways to accom-modate everyone.

Left-handed people have the upper hand in sports? While lefthanded people have to face some obstacles, there is great ad-vantage also on the playing field. In baseball or softball, a left-handed hitter starts out a few steps closer to first base than onewho is right handed. The hitter has a better chance at making itto first base before getting tagged out. Batting left-handed alsoforces the pitcher to throw the ball differently than usual since mosthitters are right-handed. Did you know that Babe Ruth, a famousbaseball player was left-handed?

Pea puffers are the tiny little fish...with the long list of names! They are sometimes called pea,dwarf, bumblebee, blue-eyed, pygmy or malabar puffers. They are from inland watersof India to China. You might find a small school of themin a river, lake, floodplain and even sometimesin a brackish water estuary.

Pea puffers are intelligent little fish and very inquisitive. In the wild they will live in areas with lots of plants and many hiding places. They will set up their own territory and defend it very well. They each will swim in their own unique pattern and are quite fun to watch.

Pea puffers are carnivores, and growvery strong and sharp teeth. To keeptheir teeth ground down, they will munch on snails. Eating snails makesthem a molluscivore. They will also eatbrine shrimp, bloodworms and othersmall animals and insects. The maincriteria of a pea puffers diet is size, since they are so small!

Pea puffers are unique for puffers,because when they are adults you cantell males from females. Males have a dark line down their bellies, and willalso have little lines around their eyes.Both males and females will have the“blue eyes” of their other name.

In December of1891, basketball wasinvented by a Cana-dian who was a cler-gyman, educator, andphysician. His namewas James Naismith.He introduced thisgame when he was inSpringfield, Massa-chusetts at the YoungMen’s Christian Asso-ciation TrainingSchool (now Spring-field College). His su-perior asked him toorganized a vigorousrecreation that wassuitable for winter in-door play. At thattime, the teams had 9players. The firstballed used were soc-cer balls and thegoals were woodenpeach baskets thatwere attached to thewalls.

In 1897-1898, teams of five became the standard. The game also spreadnationwide, to Canada and other parts of the world. It was played by bothmen and women. U.S. servicemen in World War II, made the sport popularin many other countries as they played it for recreation.

In 1934, the first college games were played in New York City’s MadisonSquare Gardens. By the 1950’s, basketball had become a major collegesport. One of the first and greatest pro teams was the Original Celtics, or-ganized about 1915 in New York City. They played as many as 150 games aseason and dominated basketball until 1936. The Harlem Globetrotters,founded in 1927, was and still is a notable exhibition team who specializes inamusing court antics and expert ball handling.

In 1949 two professional leagues, the National Basketball League and theBasketball Association of America merged to create the National BasketballAssociation (NBA). By the 1960s, pro teams from coast to coast played be-

fore crowds of many millions annually. The women’sbasketball league (WNBA) was established in 1997. Youcan visit the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mas-sachusetts.

By Michelle R. MunsonOn a sun-drenched September day, 100 run-

ners celebrated Montessori education - and

andering through the parking lot - and a one-mile run, in addition to a 5K, with proceeds to support

Montessori education to area families.Race Director Tammy Deppong said, “It is such

an awesome family event! Our Primary 1 lead teacher, Archana Sardar led a super fun warm-up routine and then we had whole families and even grandparents out running and walking! This year was extra special as we donated a portion of the proceeds to former student Will Goodale, who

is currently undergoing treat-ment for a rare brain tumor.”

Finishing a goal, like run--

dence.

Kindergartener Thor Jorgensen said, “It was really really fun, and everyone got medals. I ran as fast as I could for a long time.”

Kendalyn Revis, a preschooler, enjoyed the -

self. My mom and I were running together, but

Alumni students from the area returned to wan-der the grounds and rekindle those memories of younger days. But, the biggest enjoyment of all was spending time with family and friends.

Second grader Ava Gibson said, “It was really -

ly it was awesome because I got to run with my dad.”

We hear that sentence quite often during the colder months.Everyone seems to get a cold at some point or another during theschool year inspite of all the precautions. Did you know that the coldis the number one reason kids stay home from school?

What exactly is a cold? A cold is an infection of the upper respi-ratory system caused by a virus. It affects the throat, ears and nose.The most common cold virus is called the rhinovirus (pronouncedrahy-noh-vahy-ruhs) but there are more than two hundred otherviruses that can cause a cold. There is not even a vaccination toprevent the common cold yet. But luckily for us, our immune systemdefends our bodies against illnesses. White blood cells are thebody’s fighters that work to help you feel better.

Catching a cold is easy but not fun. Mucus is the slimy stuff that’sinside the nose. When a person sneezes or coughs, mucus dropsfloat in the air. Breathing in these drops can spread a cold from oneperson to another. You can also catch a cold by touching somethingwith the cold virus on it like a door handle, desks, phones, videogames and then touch your eyes, mouth or nose. That’s why it’s soimportant to wash your hands often.

Some symptoms of a cold virusare a low-grade fever, body chills,itchy or sore throat, sneezing,runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes,coughing, tiredness, body achesand congestion. If you feel any ofthese things, its best to tell yourparents or a responsible adult.Sometimes children can developcomplications from their cold,such as an ear infection, sinusitisor can trigger asthma so your par-ents need to know how you arefeeling.

How can you prevent getting thecommon cold? Here’s someideas:

• Try to steer clear of anyone who has a cold. Virus particles cantravel up to twelve feet through the air when someone with a coldcoughs or sneezes.• Wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially when youblow 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 hasa cold.• Do not drink from the same glass or bottle as anyone else. Younever know who’s getting sick.• Do not pick up tissues from other people. Make sure they arealways thrown away be the person using them.• Don't be around smoke. Cigarette smoke can irritate the air-ways and increase susceptibility to colds and other infections.• Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Get a good amount of sleep, eatwell balanced meals and get plenty of physical exercise.

The bassoon is the low-est sounding and thelargest of the woodwindinstruments. They aremade of maple woodand also of ebonite. Stu-dent sized bassoons aremade of plastic resin tomake the instrumentmore affordable. Mostbassoon players needto have big hands somany students learnanother instrumentfirst. It has a doublereed that is attachedto the bocal which is acurved tube.

Early bassoonswere called Dulcians or Curtals.The main difference from thoseto modern day bassoons, is thatthe old instruments were carvedfrom a single piece of wood anddidn’t have any keys! In Franceduring the 17th century, instru-ment builders made the firstbassoon with separate jointsand by the mid 19th century, the17 key bassoon was developed.

The bassoon is held diagonally in front of the player andcannot be supported by the player’s hands alone. Additionalsupport is required as it is heavy. The extra support is ei-ther a neck strap or a seat strap which is attached to thebassoon and laid across the chair seat before sitting down tohold it in place. To make a sound, the bassoonist blows airthrough a double reed causing it to vibrate. To play notesand vary the sound, the bassoonist must cover differentcombinations of tone holes with fingers or keys.

A HungryDinosaur

The dinosaur known as the Brontosaurus is now calledthe Apatosaurus. It was one of the largest land animalsthat has ever existed. This dinosaur lived in what isknown as the Jurassic Period, 150 million years ago.

The Apatosaurus, hatched from enormous foot longeggs and may have lived long enough to celebrate100birthdays! This huge dinosaur was an herbivore whichmeans it ate only plants. The hungry Apatosaurus musthave spent his entire day munching and crunching onplants to maintain his massive body.

This gigantic plant-eater measured about 80 feet longor close to the length of two school buses. It stood about30 feet tall or the height of a 4 story building. It weighedroughly 30 tons; the weight of 10 cars! Apatosaurus hada very tiny brain in a small head which was less than 2feet long. The Apatosaurus had a long neck and a longtail. It had four massive column-like legs with the backlegs being longer than the front legs. We know all thisbecause people have found fossilized remains of theApatosaurus in the Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, andWyoming and Canada.

If you would like to look for dinosaurs bones when yougrow up, you can become a scientist called a “Paleon-tologist”. In the meantime, one way to enjoy and learnabout dinosaurs is to create them. Use the followingsample to create your own Apatosaurus!

Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863. He grew up on a farm inwhat is today Dearborn, Michigan. He was the oldest of six chil-dren. He went to a one room school house and did farm chores.At an early age he became interested in mechanical things andfound out that he didn’t like to do farm work.

At the age of sixteen in 1879, he left home and went to Detroitto work as an apprentice machinist. He was an apprentice forthree years before returning to Dearborn. Once back in Dearborn,he operated and repaired steam engines, overhauled his father’sfarm implements and occasionally worked in a Detroit factory. In1888, he married Clara and made his living running a sawmill.

In 1891, Ford became an engineer with the Edison IlluminatingCompany in Detroit. He was promoted to Chief Engineer in 1893which gave him enough money and time to devote his attention topersonal experiments on internal combustion engines.These experiments came to a head in 1896 when he completed

his self-propelled vehicle calledthe Quadricycle commonlycalled the “gasoline buggy”. Ithad four wire wheels, wassteered with a tiller and had onlytwo forward speeds. Ford wasnot the first to built a self-pro-pelled vehicle with a gas enginebut one of several pioneers. Hedrove it around for two years andit drew a crowd everywhere he

went.The Ford Motor Company was incorporated in 1903 with Ford

as vice-president and chief engineer. They produced only a fewcars a day at the factory on Mack Avenue in Detroit. Two or threemen worked on each car with components made to order by othercompanies.

Ford’s dream of producing an automobile that was reasonablypriced, reliable and efficient came true with the introduction of theModel T in 1908. Some called it the “Tin Lizzie” and the “Flivver”.

The original costwas $950. It be-came a huge suc-cess because itwas easy to oper-ate, maintain andhandle. The FordCompany openeda large factory atHighland Park,Michigan in 1910and in 1913 had acontinuous movingassembly line. Workers remained in place, adding one compo-nent to each automobile as it moved past them on the line. Deliv-

ery of parts by a conveyor belt tothe workers made it smooth and ef-ficient. This moving assembly linerevolutionized automobile manu-facturing which lowered costs.Ford’s production of the Model Tmade them the largest automobilemanufacturer in the world. In thelate 1910’s, the company built theRiver Rouge Plant in Dearborn.This plant included making all the

elements needed for production of the automobile. In 1918, halfof the cars in America were Model T’s.

Sales lagged in the 1920's as other car makers offered more op-tions and financing. Ford and his son Edsel designed a new car,the Model A. This gave them the boost they needed.

In his lifetime, Ford also made airplanes including a twelve pas-senger plane called the “Tin Goose” and tractors. In 1932, the firstV8 Ford car was built.

This pioneer died at the age of 83. He worked hard throughouthis life and helped make MIchigan great!

PlatypusThe platypus is an unlikely animal in nature. The animal is often

described as a mix of a beaver (tail), duck (bill and webbed feet),and an otter (body and fur). Males are also venomous. They havesharp stingers on the heels of their rear feet and can use them todeliver a strong toxic blow.

The platypus is a mammal. They hunt underwater. They havewebbed front feet and steer with their back feet and beaver like tailthat helps them move in the water. Folds of their skin cover theireyes and ears to prevent the water from entering. Their nostrilsclose with a watertight seal also. They scoop up insects, worms,shellfish, and larvae with their bill. They also pick up some graveland mud from the bottom of the water. They do not have teeth, sothe bits of gravel help them to chew their meal.

However, they can’t move quite as well on land. The webbing attheir front feet retracts to reveal individual nails that helps them torun. They can use these nails to dig and construct burrows at wateredges.

Females will use these burrows to lay their eggs. A mother usu-ally will have 1-2 eggs. To keep them warm she will put the eggs be-tween her body and tail. After about 10 days a platypus infant is

born. At first the infants are the size of only a jelly bean and com-pletely helpless. The mother will only nurse the infant for about 3-4 months until the platypus is capable of swimming on its own.

Did You Know?• The platypus can use their cheeks to hold things like food.• The platypus can sleep up to 14 hours in a day!• In the 1900s the platypus was hunted by many for their fur.• When a platypus swims, their eyes, ears, and mouth shut• Platypus is one of only two mammals (the echidna is the other)that lays eggs.
