Book Talk Recognition
Look at the 3 students who've completed their 5th book talk! Congratulations ladies!
Monday, January 25, 2010
It’s Time for C-Pod
Science Projects!
Each C-Pod Forest Ridge student will be responsible for a scientific experiment or demonstration. These projects will help in learning the process of Scientific Method: Hypothesis (or question), Materials and Procedure, Results, and Conclusion. These steps and how they apply to the projects will be taught at school. The projects will be scored for a speaking grade, as well as the science worksample.
To find an experiment suitable for the Science Fair, your student and your family can look through books or on the internet. The library has many student-friendly science books, and there are lots of websites you’ll find if you search “science projects” or “science fair.” Most of the science project work will need to be done at home, but we may be able to provide some supplies from the classroom, if needed.
Experiments are due in class ON, BUT NOT BEFORE, the morning of Thursday, February 18th. Each child will present to the class sometime during the day. We’ll show our displays to other classes on Friday, February 19th.
The attached sheet gives guidelines and expectations for this project.
Please call, email, or send a note if you have questions.
Have fun!
Mr. Jorgensen
Mrs. Kerr
Mrs. Koenig
Mrs. Randall
Mrs. Brown
Science Fair Project Guidelines
Your project for the science fair will have two parts:
1. A display of your actual experiment to be shown on top of your desk
2. A large poster-size page (see below, paper provided by the school) to hang from the front of your desk showing (WITH LABELS) the following:
a. Title of your science project + Your Name + Your Room
b. Scientific Inquiry Question or Hypothesis
c. Materials and Procedure
d. Results
e. Conclusion
Please be sure your poster is oriented VERTICALLY to be able to fit and hang across the front of your desk! A visual of a poster sample was sent home and emailed to families.
Be sure to give yourself enough time to thoughtfully and carefully complete your project. You will need time to practice your presentation for the class, as well. Read and use the Speech Practice Form to help you do your best. Turn it in to get full effort credit. If you have questions or problems as you work, PLEASE LET YOUR TEACHER KNOW. I can help you! Like any big project, this will be easier and more fun if you work on it a little at a time, rather than wait until the last minute. Here is a suggested timeline to help you stay on track:
Thurs. Jan. 21: *Take home Science Project information.
Mon. Jan. 25: *RETURN signed assignment notice (see below).
Fri. Jan. 29: *Have your project IDEA CHOSEN.
Sat. Jan. 30 - Fri. Feb. 5:
*GATHER materials, CONDUCT your experiment.
Sat. Feb. 6 – Wed. Feb. 10:
*COMPLETE your poster.
Thurs. Feb. 11 to Wed. Feb. 17:
*DEVELOP and PRACTICE your speech. Be ready to TEACH your classmates what you’ve learned.
*Fill out the Speech Practice Form.
Thurs. Feb. 18: *BRING your project, display, and Speech Practice Form to school this morning, ready to PRESENT. SMILE and be PROUD as everyone sees your great work!
Fri. Feb. 19: *Projects will go home today after we “show and tell” our work to the other classes.
We have read the science project guidelines. _______________
will be bringing his/her science project to school on Thursday morning, February 18th. By using the suggested timeline, we know that we can plan carefully and use the FULL FOUR WEEKS allotted to be well-prepared!

GREEN LUNCH TIME - Sustainable Practices
Forest Ridge Elementary
GREEN LUNCH TIME
Sustainable Practices
Reach ZERO WASTE!!
Win a Reusable SLURPEE!
Win a pass to the KROC Center!
What is ZERO WASTE?
Zero Waste means nothing is added to the waste stream (garbage).
A way to achieve this for “HOT LUNCH” students is to:
“Take what you want;
Eat what you take.”
Do not take more than you can eat from the self-serve bar. Eat all food, drink all beverage, and throw nothing into the waste stream and you can earn tickets to win a Slurpee or KROC Center pass!
LUNCHES FROM HOME
Please pack as close AS POSSIBLE to 100% Reusable Container Lunches instead of individually wrapped throw away items.
PACKAGING of items is a major use of natural resources such as petroleum products (plastic) that will deplete our fossil fuel reserves and mineral extraction to make aluminum and other packaging materials.
Buy food in bulk and use REFILLABLE/REUSABLE containers instead of disposables, like Capri Sun and other individually wrapped - made for lunch throw away items - that are not recyclable and have to be thrown away into the waste stream.
Thank you for helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and conserve our natural resources for future generations!

Book Exchange
~Winter Party~
On Friday, December 18th, (our last day of school before vacation), we will be having a little party at school!
The day will consist of wrapping gifts, the all school "Sing-a-Long," a book exchange and a movie (with treats).
I am asking your child to buy a book for the book exchange, keeping the expenses at no more that $5-$10 total. I want to emphasize the joy of giving to others, not expense. Please do not spend over $10. I would like each book to be "student" wrapped. :0) Please do no send the gifts (books) before Thursday, Dec. 17th.
I love teaching your children and look forward to having a wonderful time celebrating with each other!
Happy Holidays from Mrs. Koenig

Vivid Vocabulary Requirements - Sent home today
Vivid Vocabulary Requirements
• Your first vivid vocabulary word is _________________________________________________.
• You are to do the following by Friday, November 20th:
o Write the word large at the top of the paper (at least 2 inches). Use a dictionary first to write the definition under the word (if you can’t find the word in the dictionary, you can use the internet).
o Color the word so it stands out (block letters work well).
o Draw a picture showing a scene of what the word means (3-D pictures will get you more points-use scrap booking supplies, cotton balls, popsicle sticks, construction paper, Cheerios, etc to make it stand out)
o Write a sentence using your vocabulary word.( On the bottom)
o Practice saying your word, definition and sentence because you will need to make an oral presentation to the class after Thanksgiving Break.
o Bring your word in on Friday morning the teacher assistant will put it up on the “Vivid Vocabulary” board.
**It is important to be neat, careful and try to be creative as you work on this project. It is always a good idea to discuss this with your family and you can get some help from them on this one. I encourage family participation for this project. The main idea is to build your vocabulary so you will learn new and interesting words.
*Turn this paper into the homework basket on Friday with a parent signature.

Island Project 2009
Name________________ Partner’s Name_______________
Date____________ Due Date: October 12th
Imaginative Island Criteria Sheet
You and your partner will need to design an imaginative island map. Here is your chance for teamwork and imagination! This map is to be created using an interesting theme, and it must contain a variety of geographic features and locations which relate to a person, place or thing. A good reference to use would be our school atlases, your notes, or the internet. The final copy will be colored neatly and contain the required elements. Make sure spelling is correct. You and your partner will be graded on each of the required elements as well as overall visual appeal. This project is due Tuesday, October 12th. You will only have four class times to work on the project, so each time will need to be used wisely. If possible, it would be a great idea to meet with your partner sometime after school. You and your partner will share this project on Tuesday, October 12th or Wednesday, October 13th. Half of the class will present each day.
Required Elements
• Title (This should reflect your map theme).
• Latitude and longitude lines with clear labels (grid).
• Five labeled cities. One labeled capital city.
• Ocean is named.
• A scale that is clearly labeled.
• Compass Rose
• A legend, which include 6 or more symbols for the following features:* indicates a required feature:
bay cave *mountain *lake
*river stream railroad dam
inlet volcano airport
*peninsula bridge road
• Two or more regions from the following choices (The geographic features and regions should be named):
Swamp Mountains
Desert Plateau
Plains Grassland
Forest
Make a SMART choice when picking your partner. It would be great to work with a friend, but both of you will need to work together, and both of you will be presenting this project. The 4 class times that you will have to work on these are 9/28, 10/2, 10/5, & 10/9. It would be a good idea to exchange phone numbers with your partner. :0)

Planner's
Starting this Friday (9/25) I will be checking student planners. Parents need to sign planners on Thurdays (the same day that the R.A.H. homework is sent home).
R.A.H (Read At Home) & Reading Worksheet
R.A.H. Forest Ridge is starting a school wide at home reading program, R.A.H. Each Thursday, students will bring home a bookmark/reading log to track their reading at home. This will help encourage kids to become better readers and promote reading outside of school.
Today they took home their reading log and it's due on Tuesday. We didn't send them home on Thursday because we wanted them to all hear about it at the assembly. After today, students will always receive their reading log on Thursday and it will be due on Tuesday (so they won't HAVE to read on Wednesday's, but I do encourage it).
Students need to read for at least 20 minutes. They can read to themselves, to a parent and/or sibling, or a parent can read to them!
Reading Worksheet
We will be practicing/working together on the reading worksheets in class for a few weeks before I send home the reading worksheet. I will be sending home the first reading worksheet on Thursday, October 1st, along with the R.A.H. homework. I encourage students to work on these with parents. They will also be due the following Tuesday.

Homework: Assigned 9/11/09 - Due 9/14/09
Students will be decorating their writing journal on Monday. They will need to bring supplies from home to decorate their journal. I would like the supplies to come in a zip lock bag or in a baggie of some sort. Ideas of what they can bring are listed below:
magazine clippings (students can bring magazines to share)
stickers (students can bring stickers to share)
photos
drawings
etc.

Headphones
It would be nice if each student had their own set of earbud headphones to use while on the computer. Last year we had so much trouble with the ones here at school breaking. If you are able to provide headphones, please label them and place them in a zip lock bag, which should also be labeled. Thanks for your help!

SNACKS
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.

Water Bottles!
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."

Student Planner's
We will be working with student planners this school year. It will be a wonderful resource to use! However, with classroom budget restrictions we are asking that each child bring $5.00 to pay for their planner. The planners will arrive in soon!

Beach & BBQ
Last week I went to the beach with my friend that lives in Montana, her husband, and two other good friends. :0)
A few nights ago we had my mom, her husband, my brother, and his wife over for dinner.

More summer pics!
After summer school I went to a conference in Seattle with some teachers. We had a lot of fun!
When I got back from Seattle, I took a friend up to North Fork :0)
In-between these activities, I've been hanging out with my husband (he's building a shed), taking more classes (the photo below is of a class that I took at Mission Park, we road the Wheatland Ferry), and I've actually been texting Tom! Yes, you read that right...Tom knows how to TEXT! Here is a wonderful photo of him and his new granddaughter.
What a cutie pie!
I also went to visit a friend of mine and his wife. They had a beautiful baby boy about three weeks ago.

Mrs. Koenig's Summer so Far....
My summer started off with an overnight trip to the beach with some girlfriends. We shopped till we dropped and ate until we burst! :0)
The last week of June I attended a class with many "teacher" friends. It was nice to learn and spend time with each other.
The afternoon our week long class ended, my family (on my mom's side) went camping in Washington and had a great time together!
The day after we got back from camping, I started teaching summer school. Yipee!
The weekend of the 4th of July, I went to the Civil War Reenactment (same park where we went to "Down By the Riverside") and I spent 4th of July with my husband's family.
