JUNE 5, 2008 - Schools THE GILFORD STEAMER A9 GES students decorate outdoor spaces with help from experts

BY DANIELLE DELISLE [email protected] Students at Gilford Ele- mentary School are getting outside to construct outdoors projects with artists from around the state to con- nect with the environment and create something for future generations to enjoy. “It’s so important for them to get the hands-on learning,” said GES Princi- pal Sandra McGonagle. “That is the biggest benefit. It really helps them to con- nect with the curriculum they are learning in the classroom.” The school calls the program “Outdoor Spaces are Magical Places,” and four artists are working with kindergarten through fourth grade students to create outdoor areas that everyone in the community can view and appreciate. Kindergarten and first- grade students are making mosaic garden stones that will be placed in a garden area in front of the school.

More than 1,000 animals live at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, Illinois. Open every day of the year, the Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the few free zoos left in the United States.

The zoo was started in 1868 with only two animals and one person. Today, there are 68 full-time, professional animal keepers who take care of about 1,250 animals.

Lincoln Park Zoo exhibits include: Lester Fisher Great Ape House—orangutans, chimpanzees and gorillas Regenstein Large Mammal Area—rhinos, giraffes, elephants and hippos McCormick Bird House—toucans, rare birds and a bird lab Regenstein Birds of Prey Exhibit—vultures, storks, eagles and owls Penguin/Seabird House—penguins, puffins and murres Farm-In-The Zoo—cows, chickens and all kinds of animals found on a Midwestern farm

One of the best parts of the zoo is the Pritzker Children’s Zoo. Here there are guinea pigs, owls, turtles, lizards and even a tarantula. Many of the animals can even be touched with a zoo worker’s supervision. There is also a glass-enclosed nursery for baby animals whose parents can’t take care of them. From birds to gorillas, these zoo babies get extra-special attention.

One star stands out from among the billions of others in the sky. The sun is actually a star, but it isn’t like any other star in the universe. Although it’s a medium-sized star and only has a medium brightness, the sun gives light, heats entire planets and is very important to life here on earth.

Here are some important facts about the sun.

• The sun’s diameter is about 109 times wider than the earth’s. • About one million of the earth could fit inside the sun. • Dark spots on the sun are called sunspots, which are cooler areas of the sun. • The temperature at the middle of the sun is about 29,000,000˚F. The sun’s surface is about 10,000˚F. • The sun has weather, which causes storms and an occurrence called solar flares. Temperatures in solar flares can be 18,000,000˚. • It takes almost 30 days for the sun to spin around once. • Helium is what makes up the center of the sun.

From helping make plants grow to helping people tell time to improving health to keeping the earth warm, the sun is a very important part of your life.
