Mrs. Koenig's Summer

Here are a few photos of what I've been doing the last few months. I had more time to relax, play, and work on projects than I ever had before, because this was the first summer that I've had off from work ever sense I was 15 years old! Ouch!

This summer, I hung out with friends and family, read, spent time outdoors, and went on a mini trip to Idaho to visit a dear friend. I also got to see my little baby nephew grow and change (which was my favorite part!). Enjoy the photos below:

Spending time with family...

Trip to Idaho....

At the airport, I saw Terry Porter (if your parents liked to watch the Blazers during the late 80's/early 90's, then they will enjoy this photo)!


Hiked up some foothills




Went to a free MC Hammer concert. Your parents may find this entertaining :)


This fall I plan to read as much as possible, jog in a few events, and watch football (well, I will most likely just hear it in the background). GO DUCKS!


I'm looking forward to reading/hearing about your summer!

SNACKS & WATER BOTTLES

Each day I will allow some time for a healthy snack. Some examples of what students can bring are crackers, fruit, vegetables, cheese, etc. Students CANNOT bring candy, cake, cookies, etc. for a snack.

One more thing to add to your school list....a water bottle! Please bring a water bottle every day to school. I strongly encourage students to drink water throughout the day. I don't allow students to get up during class to use the fountain, so please be prepared to come each day with a water bottle in hand! Why should you bring a water bottle? Check out the link that's titled "Drinking Water and Children."
