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 floodingof 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.

Montessori Radmoor SchoolEmbraces Global ConnectionsThrough International Night

By Michelle R. Munson

From the lobby - decorated with snowflakes - to the inter-national food court filled with culinary delights from recipesaround the globe, Montessori Radmoor School in Okemosreveled in celebration of its global community.The annual International Night event in May welcomes fam-ilies of current students and alumni to see the decorations andlearn about cultures the children study in class.Jackie Alson, instructional assistant with the Lower Elementary class, raved about the projects the ele-

mentary children presented. She says, “Our students not only choose the countries they will research, butwrite their own stories and do their own projects with their own creative ideas.”The Lower Elementary students represented South America this year. She adds, “They have conceived

these amazing projects that we wouldn’t necessarily choose, and then they build them, in their own way.They are responsible for gathering the information and the projects represent their ability to take the infor-mation and create something.”Classrooms like Primary 3 featured student-created paintings of animals on the African savannah, and

Michigan State University Assistant Professor Terri McElhinny spoke to students and their families aboutskulls and casts of animals. She created a guessing game that matched the skulls of animals to theirnames. She and student Severen Anderson remarked that some of the skulls had similar shapes to eachother, and that “these skulls have holes for the nose, just like humans do.”Student Evan Zader-Baumann enjoyed sitting in the homemade jeep, painted in zebra print, to watch

slides from Africa. “There was a camera there by the screen, and I liked looking at the pictures. And, I re-ally liked seeing all the people dressed up.”Primary 2 - Asia for the night - sported paintings of the Taj Majal and a presentation of pandas. Student

Elspeth Genshaw had painted the bamboo forest for the panda exhibit. “I liked the panda forest the best.That was my favorite part. We had mountains over in that corner,” gesturing far away from the forest, “andthey were so big and green and pretty.”Because Montessori education is popular throughout the world, it’s only natural for students at Montes-

sori Radmoor to embrace the cultures of their international community. Montessori Radmoor School is lo-cated at 2745 E. Mt. Hope, Okemos. The area’s oldest Montessori school, Montessori Radmoor educatesmore than 125 students from 18 months through sixth grade. Many teachers are AMI certified at gradelevel. For more information about the school, or to schedule a tour, please call 517-351-3655.

You may have a rash! A rash can also be called dermatitis(pronounced dur-muh-tahy-tis), which is a swelling or irritationof the skin. It can look red, dry, scaly, include lumps, bumps,blisters and pimples plus it’s itchy. Some rashes, combined witha fever can be signs of serious illnesses.

A type of rash called Hives can be serious because they canbe a sign of an allergic reaction and you would need immediatemedical attention. Hives are reddish or pale swellings that ap-pear on your body when a chemical called histamine (pro-nounced his-tuh-meen) is released in response to an allergen.The trigger can be a certain food, medicine or bug bite. A viruscan also cause hives.

Here are some other common types of rashes:

•Eczema is a common rash for kids. Eczema can cause dry,chapped, bumpy areas around the elbows and knees or moreserious cases of red, scaly, and swollen skin all over the body.•Irritant contact dermatitis is caused by contact with somethingirritating, such as a chemical, soap, or detergent. It can be red,swollen, and itchy. Even sunburn can be a kind of irritant der-matitis because it's red and might itch while it's healing.•Allergic contact dermatitis is a rash caused by contact with anallergen. An allergen is something you are allergic to, such asrubber, hair dye, or nickel (a metal found in some jewelry).Urushiol (pronounced yoo-roo-shee-ol), is an oil or resin con-tained in poison ivy, oak, and sumac, can cause this kind ofrash.

Some rashes form right away and others can take severaldays to occur. When a rash appears, you usually know it be-cause it will start to bother you. If you develop a rash, tell a par-ent or another adult as soon as you can. Try not to scratch it.If you do, the rash may take longer to heal and you'll be more

likely to develop an infection or scar.A visit to the doctor is a good idea. Although all rashes may

look alike to you, a skin doctor called a dermatologist knows thedifference. Knowing which kind of rash you have can help thedermatologist choose the best treatment to heal.

Here are some ideas to help you prevent rashes:

• If a poison plant is the problem, learn what the plant looks likeand avoid it. It also may help to wear long sleeves and pantswhen you're camping or hiking in the woods.• If bugs are biting you, have a parent help you apply some in-sect repellent when you'll be going outside.• For allergic dermatitis or irritant contact dermatitis, try to avoidthat substance. If you are allergic to nickel, wear only nickel-freejewelry. If you discover that bubble bath bothers your skin, don'tuse it. • With eczema, stay away from harsh soaps that might dry outyour skin. Make an effort to moisturize your skin with creams orlotions. Short, cool showers are a good idea, too, because hotshowers and baths can further dry out your skin.• When it comes to the sun, you should always wear sunscreento avoid a red and itchy sunburn.

“I Can’t StopItching!”


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!

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.
