)DPRXV $PHULFDQ :RPHQ Annie Oakley Annie Oakley was born August 13, 1860 in Darke County, Ohio. Her parents were Susan Wise and Jacob Mosey, two Quakers of English descent. Annie was the sixth of the nine children, seven of which survived.

Annie did not attend school as a child because of her fathers death in 1866. She was sent to the county poor farm, but at age 10 she got sent to work for a family who wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very kind to her. Annie ran away from that family and was reunited with her mother.

Annie decided to help her poor family. She decided to support them by shooting game in the nearby woods.

Luckily her marksmanship paid the mortgage on her moms house. Because of her skill she was able to enter a shooting match on Thanksgiving day. At 15 she beat the touring champion Frank Bulter. Within the next year, she fell in love with him and they were soon married.

Soon after, Annie and Frank became shooting partners.

Annie was good at what she did and she knew how to please a crowd. Her career took off when she performed with Buffalo Bill Codyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show at the American Exposition in London, 1887. Queen Victoria called Oakley â&#x20AC;&#x153;a clever little girlâ&#x20AC;?.

Minerals In My Body?

When you hear about minerals, you typically think of something found in the earth. But, did you know small amounts of minerals are in the foods we eat? Minerals help your body develop, stay healthy and grow. They have many functions within our body such as building strong bones, transmitting nerve impulses, making hormones and maintaining a normal heartbeat.

There are two kinds of minerals. They are Macrominerals or “Macro” and Trace minerals. In the Greek language, macro means large. It makes sense then, that our body needs large amounts of macrominerals. Trace means a very, very small amount of something. Your body needs trace minerals too, but only a little bit of each one. The macromineral family is made up of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sulfur. The trace mineral family includes manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride and selenium.

Here are some minerals you get from foods: Calcium - (kal-see-uhm) is the top macromineral when it comes to your bones. Calcium helps build strong bones and healthy teeth. It is important to get enough calcium during your childhood to fight against bone loss later in life. Foods with calcium are dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt. Calcium can also be found in broccoli and dark green, leafy vegetables.

Plus, don’t forget calcium-fortified foods like orange juice and some cereals.

Iron - Your body needs iron to transport oxygen as part of the red blood cells, from the lungs to the rest of your body. Your entire body needs oxygen to stay healthy and alive. Iron is important in the making of hemoglobin (hee-muh-glo-bun), which is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Foods that are rich in iron are red meat, pork, fish, shellfish, poultry, lentils, beans, soy foods, green leafy vegetables and raisins.

Potassium - (puh-tah-see-um) keeps your muscles and nervous system working properly. Potassium helps to make sure the amount

of water in your blood and body tissues (like muscles) is balanced.

Potassium rich foods are bananas, broccoli, potatoes with skins, leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits like oranges, peas, and lima beans.

Zinc - (zink) helps your body’s immune system.

What is the immune system?

It is your body’s system for fighting off illnesses and infections.

Zinc also helps with cell growth and helps heal wounds.

Foods that have zinc in them are red meat, poultry, seafoods, nuts, dried beans, soy foods, milk and other dairy products, whole grains, and fortified breakfast cereals.

Magnesium - (mag-nee-zee-uhm) helps your muscles and nerves function properly. It keeps your heartbeat steady and bones strong.

It also helps the body create energy and make proteins. You can get magnesium from whole grains, whole grain breads, nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, potatoes, beans, avocados, bananas, milk and CHOCOLATE!!

Phosphorus - (fos-fer-uhs) helps in the formation of healthy bones and teeth. It helps the body make energy and is a part of every cell in the body. The body needs phosphorus to work normally. This mineral is found in most foods, but the best source are dairy foods, meat and fish.

Minerals are a very important part of your daily life. Eating a variety of nutritional foods can help you get the proper amount of minerals you need to stay healthy.

Franklin D. Roosevelt 32nd President, 1933-1945

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York on January 30, 1882. First educated by private tutors, then attending Groton (a prep school), he entered Harvard where he received his BA degree in history in only three years. He then studied law at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Columbia University and passed the bar in 1907. He entered politics in 1910 and was elected to the New York State Senate as a Democrat.

During this time, he married Anna Eleanor Roosevelt (a distant cousin and niece of President Theodore Roosevelt. They had six children.

In 1913, after being re-elected to the State Senate, President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He held that position until 1920. His popularity and success in naval affairs resulted in being nominated as vice-president, which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. After returning to private life, he contracted polio where he never regained the use of his legs. He established a foundation in Warm Springs, Georgia to help other polio victims and inspired and directed the March of Dimes program. This program eventually funded an effective vaccine against this disease.

With the encouragement of his wife, he became governor of New York and eventually won the nomination of the Democratic Party to run for president in 1932. He energetically called for government intervention in the economy to provide relief, recovery and reform. He won the election by seven million votes. At his Inaugural Address, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.â&#x20AC;? He went on to be the only president that was elected to four terms.

The Great Depression worsened in the months preceding Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inauguration. He worked with a special session of Congress during the first 100 days (the New Deal), to pass recovery legislation which set up agencies like the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Administration) to support farm prices and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) to employ young men. Other agencies assisted business and labor, insured bank deposits, regulated the stock market, subsidized home and farm mortgage payments and aided the unemployed.

These things revived the confidence in the economy. Banks reopened and direct relief saved millions from starvation. Most of the nation supported Rooseveltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs. In 1935, the WPA (Works Progress Administration) began which supported jobs for laborers, artists, writers, musicians and authors. The Social Security Act began which provided unemployment compensation and a program of old

age and survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefits.

By 1939, Roosevelt was concentrating on foreign affairs with the outbreak of the war in Europe. With the fall of France in 1940, Congress enacted a draft for military service and Roosevelt signed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;lend-leaseâ&#x20AC;? bill to enable the country to furnish aid to nations at war with Germany and Italy.

The surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941 and Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s declarations of war against the United States, brought our nation into the war. Roosevelt exercised his power as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He created a â&#x20AC;&#x153;grand allianceâ&#x20AC;? through â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Declaration of the United Nationsâ&#x20AC;?, in which all nations fighting agreed not to make a separate peace, and pledge themselves to a peacekeeping organization (now the United Nations) upon victory.

He had General George Marshall, Chief of Staff, plan a holding operation in the Pacific and organize a force for the invasion of Europe.

By April 1945, victory in Europe was certain.

The stress and strain of the war took a toll on Roosevelt. During a vacation at Warm Springs, Georgia, he died. He was 63 years old.

His death came on the eve of complete military victory in Europe and within months of victory over Japan in the Pacific. President Roosevelt was buried in the Rose Garden of his estate at Hyde Park, New York.

â&#x20AC;˘ President Roosevelt was the first president to speak on television. â&#x20AC;˘ He was the first president to have a presidential aircraft and the first president to fly in one! â&#x20AC;˘ He was in office longer than any other president. â&#x20AC;˘ He was the first president whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was allowed to vote for him.

Students in both schools, Central and Southeastern, have decorated brown paper bags from Family Fare. Students were inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech, to make the world a better place. Bags were distributed by Family Fare on MLK Day, Monday, Jan. 18.

Students in both schools, Central in Southeastern, are working on a piece inspired by a symphony piece. All 5th graders in Hastings will be attending the Kalamazoo Symphony in March. At the symphony this year, students will hear great pieces of music. One song is by the composer Shostakovitch, which the students have learned about in music. They are then listening to this piece in art and creating their own abstract line drawings. Some selections will be on display at the symphony as well. They are supper excited about this opportunity and project. Students are in in the beginning stages in their work.

Having Fun With Science Experiments!

As with all science experiments, it is important to have responsible adult supervision.

Mixing Oil and Water Blowing Up Balloons With CO2 Chemical reactions make for some great experiments. Make use of the carbon dioxide given off by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction, by funnelling the gas through a soft drink bottle. Blowing up balloons was never so easy!

What you'll need: Balloon About 1/4 cup of water Soft drink bottle Drinking straw Juice from a lemon 1 teaspoon of baking soda Instructions: Before you begin, make sure that you stretch out the balloon to make it as easy to inflate. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the soft drink bottle.

Add teaspoon of baking soda and stir it around with the straw until it has dissolved. Pour the lemon juice in and quickly put the stretched balloon over the mouth of the bottle.

What's happening?

If all goes right, your balloon should inflate! Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base, while the lemon juice is an acid, and when the two are combined they create carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, the gas canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t escape the balloon, so it pushes it outward, blowing it up.

Some things just don't get along when they are combined. For example, take oil and water. You can mix them together and shake as hard as you like but they'll never become mixed together.....or will they?

What you'll need: 16 ounce clear plastic soft drink bottle About 1/4 cup of water Food coloring 2 tablespoons of cooking oil Dish washing liquid Instructions: Add a few drops of food coloring to the water in a small glass. Add 2 tablespoons of the colored water and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the clear soft drink bottle. Screw on the lid tightly and shake the bottle as hard as you can. Put the bottle down and take a close look. It may have seemed the liquids were mixing together, but the oil will float back to the top.

What's happening?

While water often mixes with other liquids to form solutions, oil and water does not. Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other and this is the same for oil. Because they are more attracted to their own molecules, they just don't mix together. They separate. The oil floats above the water because it has a lower density.

If you really think oil and water belong together then try adding a tablespoon of dish washing liquid. Dish washing liquid is attracted to both water and oil helping them all join together and form something called an emulsion. This is extra handy when washing greasy dishes!
