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.

Free Choice Oral Book Report
Below is a format of what I will be looking for when students give their presentations on June 9th & June 10th. I have been over this with the class 3-4 times now and they were assigned this report about 3 weeks ago. This is a project that needs to be done at home.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Free Choice Book Report
There are no kids on the planet who are better presenters than C-1’s fifth graders. . . That means YOU! You’ve been doing fabulous reports and presentations for YEARS now. As a special reward for your wonderfulness, your final book report/project for this year can be on any book you choose, 100 pages or more! Here’s your chance to choose a genre’ you really love! Historical Fiction? Science Fiction? Non-Fiction? Realistic Fiction? Humor? Mystery? Biography? Fantasy? Poetry? Mythology? Anything!
You already know what needs to be included in a book report presentation. Here are the only guidelines you’ll need:
FIND A BOOK AND START READING.
Make your presentation at least 2 - 3 minutes long.
Have it MEMORIZED. (Brief note cards are OK, but don’t just “read.”)
Practice, practice, practice until it feels comfortable and smooth.
Include “Something Special” in your report. (See below.)
Something Special
Anything you come up with would be fine, but here are some suggestions:
Make a mobile with events, characters, and settings from your book.
Create a poster that makes others want to read your book.
Design a diorama.
Come in costume as a character from your book.
Make a puppet.
Create a collage of images that represent your book.
Paint a scene or setting.
Build a model scene or setting.
Create a sculpture.
Try paper mache’.
Make a pop up book.
Design an alternate book cover.
Make your presentation in PowerPoint form.
Use Publisher or Word to create fliers or handouts about your book.
Film your presentation in video format. Introduce it to us, and show it!
Bring artifacts or objects important in your book.
Create a timeline of events.
Name: ___________________________ will be ready to present on

Wow! That’s a WHOLE MONTH to prepare! I KNOW I’ll be ready!

Our class theme is "MYSTERY." This was a great idea that the class came up with because ANYTHING can go in the basket, but it needs to be wrapped. The class will be coming up with a list of ideas to go home on Monday.
