WHY GRADES ARE IMPORTANT(Find out why grades are an indicator of your child’s future)

Ohana Karate - “Where success is an attitude and a habit!”1070 W. Highland Road, (M-59 across from Howell High School) • (517) 586-1001 • www.ohanakarate.com

As parents we all want our kids to get good grades in school, right? But why?I am Sam Larioza, a father of two awesome kids and owner of Ohana Karate. Over the last 12 years we have helped hundreds of parents in our community raise their children. Many have underestimated the importance of their kid’s grades in school.Here is the secret: How a child performs in school sets in place the habits, attitudes and character traits they will carry into young adulthood and have for the rest of their lives!Parents find this story helpful in understanding this concept: “There are 3 types of people in this world”Type 1: “Always does a little bit more than anyone expects!” You can easily tell if a child is in this group. They consistently get all A’s and B’s in school. They are the ones on the team that always hustle. They are the ones that read one extra chapter or practice the piano 5 extra minutes! Type 2: “Always does just enough to get by!” The indicators for this group are students that get A’s and B’s in some classes (the ones they like) and D’s and F’s in others. They are the kids on the sports field that always do just enough and not any more. They are the kids that will see how poorly or slowly they can do a chore at home and get away with it.Type 3: “Are always trying to do less than they have to!” They typically do this by taking shortcuts or even cheating. They struggle in almost every aspect of school. On the sports field they stop or quit when they think no one is looking. They blame everybody and everything for why they can’t do something.So, which group is your child in? ...You are probably thinking “This is all fine and good but what can you do?”

Yours for Rock Solid Kids.

Sam LariozaOhana Karate - “Where Success is anAttitude and a Habit”

Here is the key: We are all products of our life experiences! And right now your child’s biggest life experience is coming from school! They spend 7 hours a day, 5 days a week there! Every single decision and act they do at school develops their attitudes and most of all their HABITS!I am running out of space, but here are 3 tips our parents use:1. “Open the envelope” - You need to open the letter containing

their report card and know their grade in every single class. Better yet, go online and know their grades all the time and let them know that you do!

2. “Never, ever miss a parent-teacher conference” - Parents will skip the conference because they know their kids are doing “okay” or they have more important things to do. Never, ever miss one. Ever!

3. “Make grades important to you” - Grades must be important to you. Both #1 and #2 do this but you need to take one step further. Don’t nag your child but talk about school and grades all the time.

Grades are important to us! We talk about school and grades all the time. We require every student to turn their report cards in to us.If you need any more tips or help with your child’s performance in school give me a call or email. You do not need to be a student at our karate school. We just want to help every child in our community. It makes all of us better!

It’s that time of the year again to go in search of the Great Pump-kin. But have you ever wondered how did your pumpkin grow?Gather up the family and let’s head to your favorite pumpkin patchand find out.

Your pumpkin’s life started a few months ago. The farmer had tocarefully chose the spot for planting the patch, a large area with a lotof sunshine. Sometime after the earth had warmed from the winterand the mornings were no longer frosty in late May and early June,the pumpkin seeds were planted into the dark rich soil. The sun con-tinued to warm the earth and rain fell on the land. Deep in the soil,the pumpkin seed grew roots and leaves began to appear out of thedirt. The leaves grew large and after five weeks, the first flowers ap-peared. It contained two kinds of flowers - a male and a female

flower. The male flow-ers had a stamen inthe center that con-tained the pollen. Thefemale flower had ababy pumpkin at itsbase. The pumpkinvine’s big bright flow-ers attracted many in-sects. They wouldcome often to visit theflowers and as theywalked from the maleflower to the femaleflower, pollination oc-curred.

The flowers then fellfrom the plant and thepumpkin began togrow. It seemed togrow slowly at first andlooked just like a smallgreen ball. Within afew weeks, it grew tothe size of a basket-ball. Pumpkin plantsare very thirsty so the

The Perfect Pumpkinfarmer had to make sure that your pumpkin had plenty of water. Thepumpkin plant grew and stretched into long vines that covered theground. In August and into September, the pumpkin started to changeit’s color from green into orange. Now it’s October and the patchboasts of big, beautiful, orange pumpkins. So, let the search beginfor your perfect pumpkin!

Once you get your pumpkin home, the best way to keep your pump-kin fresh is to protect it from cold weather and bacteria that can makeit sick and rot too soon. On nights when the weatherman says it willfreeze, put your pumpkin in the garage or basement.

Next comes the fun part! Deciding what to do with your pumpkin!You could use it as a decoration for your Thanksgiving table, paint itwith a smile like your own, or carve it to make a jack-o-lantern. Letyour creative juices flow. You can use yarn for hair, vegetables for fa-cial features, even add earrings and dress them up with clothes!

After Halloween, do not throw away your pumpkin! If you have a fewseeds left inside the shell, you can recycle your pumpkin by putting itin your garden over the winter. After the snow falls and spring beginsto warm the earth, Mother Nature may leave you a surprise! A newpumpkin plant of your own!

Pumpkin Seed RecipeIngredients:Seeds from 1 pumpkin4 Tablespoons butter1/2 teaspoon garlic salt2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

1. When carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the strings,place in a bowl of water and wash them between your fingers. Thenplace them in a strainer to dry for about 30 minutes. Make sure theyare all dry before cooking. Preheat the over to 275 degrees. Placeseeds on a cookie sheet. Spread out evenly. Melt the butter and driz-zle over seeds and sprinkle them with garlic sault and WorcestershireSauce. Cook for 10 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Turn every 5minutes until finished. Sprinkle with salt. Serve hot or cold.

Minions Invade St. Mary Kindergarten The St. Mary Catholic School kindergarten class is off to a great start. They have been learning new procedures with their new friends. One of the first projects they worked on was making a minion of themselves. “They were very excited to work on this first project,” said teacher Ms. Giordano. “It was something fun for them to do so they were not so nervous the first few days of school.” One student stated that he gave his minion a big smile because he was happy to be in school.

St. Mary’s Unique Preschoolers Mrs. Smyczynski’s preschool class at St. Mary Catholic School is learning how each of them is special or unique in their own way but when they work together they make a great team. For some of our four year olds who were returning from last year, they knew the procedures and what Mrs. S. was like. “For our three year olds, they were excited but a bit nervous to see all of the new faces and if mom was really going to come back to pick them up,” said teacher Mrs. Smyczynski. However, once the class started they were like old pros and fit right in. The children have been practicing safety drills, having snack, and learning all of the names of their new friends. There are many happy faces learning together in the preschool and are excited to see what the school year will bring.

St. Mary Catholic School Students Enjoys New Technology Students at St. Mary Catholic School are enjoying the results from a new make-over in the technology lab this summer. “The old room had a lay out that had wires hanging from under desks and the kids had to be careful moving between the rows,” said computer teacher Mr. Scott Hayes. “The new wireless lab and lay out is so much better because there is more room for everyone to move around the room.” The room was totally gutted over the summer with the floor cut open to run wires under-ground. New carpet, fresh paint on the walls, a ceiling projector and a huge screen were just a part of the up-grades this summer. Students also are enjoying the addition of new Google Chrome books that can be used in the computer lab or in the classrooms. “I was very excited to see the look on the students’ faces when they saw the new room. It is just so much nicer with the new up-grades,” said Principal Mrs. Veronica Kinsey.

Crab Eating MacaqueIs Native To Singapore!

The Crab Eating Macaque is also commonly called the Long-tailed Macaque. Their scientific name is Macaca Fascicularis. Itis often referred to as the long-tailed macaque because its tail isusually about the same length as its body which distinguishes itfrom most other macaques. They are called crab-eatingmacaques because they are often seen foraging beaches forcrabs.

These monkeys are native to Singapore and are their most com-mon primate. They also are widespread throughout the islands ofsoutheast Asia and mainland Asia. Macaques are primarily abo-real which means they live in and move about in trees. They arefound today in primary and secondary forest areas, mangroves,swamps, plantations, and in the outskirts of towns and villages.

They prefer forested areasnear water and are foundin higher numbers nearriverbanks, lakeshores, oralong the seacoast.Macaques can leap dis-tances between trees toover 16 feet! They usetheir long tails for balance.

Macaques are social an-imals just like we are. Inthe wild, they live ingroups of 15 to 30 mon-keys. Each group, calleda “troop” is made up of adominant male known asthe alpha male and hisharem of female monkeys.The troop may include afew other male monkeysas well. Macaques spenda lot of time grooming

each other. Tothem, this is asocial activityfor developingfriendships.

These mon-key’s coats varyfrom light grey-brown to brownfur. They havea noisy, aggres-sive temper-ment. Thebody length ofthe adult mon-key is 15 to 22

inches with short arms and legs.The tail is usually longer than thebody at about 16 to 26 inches.Males are larger then females.Both males and females havewhite coloration on the eyelidsnear the nose. Macaques alsohave cheek pouches in whichthey can store food as they for-age, and transport it away fromthe foraging site to eat.

The macaque are frugivorous(froo-jiv-er-uhs) or fruit eating.During times of year when fruit isunavailable, they focus on in-sects, leaves, flowers, smallmammals and birds, shellfish andcrabs, as well as human left-overs.

that is a top requirement that you must LOVE to do!

The chef is responsible for designing menus, de-veloping original recipes, keeping their kitchen stocked

with ingre-dients andable to ac-count forwhat itcosts tom a n a g etheir oper-ation. A chef alsomust show leader-ship ability andmanage a fullkitchen staff andmotivate them towork efficiently.

The position ofchef in mostrestaurants re-quires a completedfour-year univer-sity degree in the

culinary arts, training that’s completed at a technical school,culinary arts schools or community college. While in school,prospective chefs take courses in nutrition, food storage, portioncontrol, inventory and purchasing. A chef must also learn tohandle and maintain kitchen equipment, proper knife techniqueand banquet service. Even though formal programs are the firstsource of training, much of a chef’s education comes from on-the-job training and apprenticeships.

Chefs who have vast professional experience and formaltraining are eligible for certification by the American CulinaryFederation. It’s not mandatory that a chef becomes certifiedhowever, it could lead to a higher salary and more opportunity.

GrandmaMoses

Anna Mary Robertson, known as “Grandma Moses” was born inGreenwich, New York on September 7, 1860. She was the thirdof ten children born to Russel King Robertson and Margaret Shan-nahan. She had a happy childhood and worked hard on the fam-ily farm. Her father would buy large sheets of blank newspaperand the children would draw. Anna would draw happy, colorfulscenes. Her education was limited as she could only attendschool in the summer due to the cold climate and her lack of warmclothing. At the age of twelve, Anna began earning her living as ahired girl at homes near their farm.

In 1887, Anna married a farm worker named Thomas S. Moses.They settled on a farm in Virginia. Having five children that sur-vived, they moved to Eagle Bridge, New York where she spent therest of her life.

It was here where she painted her first painting. The story goesthat she was wallpapering and ran out of paper, so she put upwhite paper and painted a scene later known as the Fireboard.Her earliest work used embroidery. She embroidered pictureswhat were greatly admired. At the age of seventy-six, because ofarthritis, she began to paint in earnest. Her early work was mostlybased on scenes she found in illustrated books.

In 1938, Anna’s paintings were discovered by an art collector,Louis Caldor. In October 1939, three of these paintings were ex-hibited at the “Contemporary Unknown Painters” show at NewYork’s Museum of Modern Art. Her first individual showing washeld in New York City in 1940 and she immediately became fa-mous. By 1943 there was an overwhelming demand for her Amer-ican Primitive pictures, partially because her homespun, countryscenes brought about wonderful feelings and memories for manypeople.

She quickly became known as “Grandma Moses” by the pressand the name stuck. On September 19, 1960 LIFE magazine cel-ebrated her 100th birthday featuring her on it’s cover. New YorkGovernor Nelson Rockefeller also proclaimed her 100th birthday

as “GrandmaMoses Day” inher honor.

Her paintingswere used topublicize manyAmerican holi-days includingThanksgiving,Christmas andMother’s Day.They werealso repro-duced onChristmas dards, tiles and fabrics in America. At the age of 100,she illustrated “Twas the Night before Christmas” by ClementMoore.

Your Muscular System

Kids’ World News www.kidsworldnews.net October 2015, Page

The muscular system ismade up of tissues that workwith the skeletal system tocontrol movement of thebody. Without muscles, youcouldn’t open your mouth,breathe, shake hands, walk,talk or move your foodthrough your digestive sys-tem. Without muscles, youwould not be able to do any-thing!

Everyone’s body weight isabout 40% muscle. Thereare over 630 muscles that

help you move. Muscles can’t push - they pull. Muscles often workin pairs so that they can pull in different or opposite directions.

The cells that make up your muscles contract and then relax. Mi-croscopic fibers in these cells compress by sliding in past each otherlike a sliding door when you open and shut it. The cells are fed bychemical energy from the food you eat.

There are three different types of muscles. The first is the Cardiacmuscles that are found only in your heart. They power the action thatpumps blood throughout your body. The second type are smoothmuscles and like the cardiac muscles - they are involuntary. Thatmeans that you don’t know when they are doing their job! Some ex-amples are - when you breath (movement of your diaphragm) or whenyour eyes blink! Or when you digest the food you eat! They are au-tomatic movements that are controlled by the nervous system andhormones. The third type are muscles known as voluntary or skele-tal muscles. They only work when you tell them to. Like the musclesin your arms and legs that help you walk or pick things up.

You can also hurt your muscles - like pulling or tearing them. But,they can most often heal themselves because they are living bodyparts!

Interesting Facts:• You have over 30 facial muscles which create looks like surprise,happiness, sadness and frowning.• Eye muscles are the busiest muscles in the body. Scientists esti-

mate they may move more than 100,000 times per day!• The largest muscles in the body is the gluteus maximus muscles inthe buttocks.

Hawkins Elementary School, in Brighton, Michigan, is beginning to create a strong foundation as it becomes a Seven Habits of Highly Happy Children School. Every classroom and every hallway rings with the sounds of Happy Children learning, thinking, and becoming Leaders. Third graders of Hawkins Elementary School, build a trust circle as one of the exercises as the students study the Habit: Synergize. This activity, by Ashley Waterson of Tocca Massage in Brighton, is just one way students are being connected with the community to bring to life the 7 Habits of Highly Happy Kids. Ashley volunteered her time and her expertise to come into the classroom to help build trust amongst the kids and to share her Yoga training to teach one way to “Sharpen the Saw.” The 7th habit is to “Sharpen the Saw”, which means to find ways to relax, enjoy time with oneself, family, and to find peace. Ashley showed the students Yoga poses that they could do, even in the classroom, to help settle themselves and rejuvenate their minds and bodies throughout the day. The strong poses, I breakable trust circle, and giggles of the children certainly proved that these kids are happy and they are growing strong roots that will carry them throughout this entire year at Hawkins Elementary School.

Thank a Police Officer at H.T. SmithEight First Grades along with two Kindergarten classes from H.T. Smith participated in National Thank A Police Officer Day. Members of the Fowlerville Police Depart-ment, as well as officers that were related to students were invited to be at the event. The students were able to see Niko Jeff Soli’s K9 partner, Deputy Burke from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Departments, as well as an Officer from Ann Arbor. The Officers shared some of their duties and the shifts that they work. Many of the students were surprised to hear that so many of the officers work while they sleep. Students presented the officers with books, cards, and snacks as a Thank You for everything they do to keep our community safe.

Bowling is one of the most popular sports around the world.There are many reasons for its popularity: • Children and adults of nearly every ability level and age can par-ticipate.• It can be enjoyed as a relaxing, fun exercise for many years.• Bowling can contribute to toning muscles, balance, coordinationand motor skills.• Bowling is considered a social activity.

• Bowling is ac o m p e t i t i v esport.

The rules ofbowling are nothard to follow.The equipmentyou need is rightat the bowlingalley which in-cludes a bowlingball and bowlingshoes. Manybowling alleyswill offer instruc-tion for the be-ginner. Themodern daygame of bowlingis played on anindoor woodenor urethanelane. Ten pinsare arranged ina triangular for-mation 30 cen-timeters apart.

Bowling Is A FunWay To Exercise!

The game is played by rolling a ball down the lane in an ef-fort to knock down all the pins stationed at the other end ofthe lane. Each person is allowed two attempts per frameto knock down the pins. One game consists of 10 frames.The person with the highest score knocking down the pins,is the winner.

Most bowling alleys offer rails or bumpers up on the sidesof some of their alleys for children. The children too youngto execute a full approach can stand near the foul line andusing two hands, shove the ball down the lane. This helpskids have the chance to knock down the pins! The bowl-ing alleys also have special shoes to fit children and bowl-ing balls that are not too heavy!
