The Chemical Called Caffeine Caffeine (pronounced kaf-een) is a common, natural chemical that’s found in tea leaves, coffee beans, cacao (used to make chocolate) and cola nuts (used to make cola drinks). It can be found in drinks and food we eat such as coffee, teas, hot cocoa, sodas, chocolate, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and even medicines.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system which makes a person feel more awake and alert. People who drink caffeine every day may start to depend on it. Unfortunately, many kids drink more soda - in fact twice as much - than they did 20 years ago. In some households, soda is chosen over milk, so kids are not getting the proper amount of calcium they need. Caffeine can cause a reaction in your body, like making your heart to pump faster, your breathing to quicken, increase blood pressure and make you feel hyper. Too much caffeine can make a person feel nervous, shakey and have trouble falling asleep. It also can cause difficulty concentrating, especiailly in young children. Caffeine moves through the body within a few hours and is passed through the urine. It is not stored in the body, but kids may feel its effects for up to six hours if they are sensitive to it. Caffeine is not a requirement for your body like other nutrients. No one needs it, especially kids. Limiting the amount of caffeine you eat and drink is best for your body. Most soft drinks are also offered in a decaffeinated version. That means there is no caffeine in them. You can look for that on the label the next time you choose a soft drink.

Dr. St. Jacques is now taking new patients and accepting most insurances.

Second grade teachers, Mrs. Slocum and Mrs. Reser, wrote and received a grant for three, 3D printers. As part of the grant, the teachers had to propose an educational program to be used with the new technology. Mrs. Slocum and Mrs. Reser designed a program with a foundation based on Michigan Social Studies Standards for second grade, with cross-curricular ties to math, science, and Language Arts. The program is structured in tiered phases that include hands-on design, design software, printing, and a culminating end-of-the-year project in which students will identify a problem within the community and design a solution to the problem and either directly or indirectly impact the problem. Since the grant was only just awarded, current 2nd grade students are learning as much as they can about design and printing throughout the remainder of the year. Full implementation of the program will begin with the 2016-2017 school year.

Second graders at Delton Kellogg Elementary School were visited by Brenda Aukerman from Graphic Packaging to learn about their TICCIT program (tree into container, container into tree). The students learned about the importance of recycling and how they can make a difference. Each child took home their own tree to plant in a recycled and biodegradable box.

Southeastern 5th Graders attend the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra Youth Concert at Chenery Auditorium in March, 2016. The Southeastern 5th grade music students from Ms. Macklin’s and Mr. Vincent’s classes took part in a city-wide annual trip to see the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra as part of the youth concert series at Chenery Auditorium. They learned about instruments of the symphony, biographical and historical backgrounds of many composers as well as in-depth examination of the elements of music. This year’s youth performance entitled, Keep On Moving, introduced themes in music and ideas expressed by composers through their music. Students also learned about how many composers experienced and overcame obstacles to continue and “keep on moving forward.” Southeastern music teacher, Ms. Schoen, EHJDQ SUHSDUDWLRQ ZLWK WKH VWXGHQWV VHYHUDO PRQWKV SULRU WR WKH 0DUFK ¿HOG WULS 7KH .62 \RXWK FRQFHUW program is an integral part of Hastings Area Schools 5th grade music curriculum.

Lyndon B. Johnson 36th President, 1963-1969 Lyndon Baines Johnson (also remembered as LBJ) was born in a small farmhouse on the Pedernales River, Stonewall, Texas, on August 27, 1908. He was the first of five children. Growing up meagerly, he worked his way through Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now known as Texas State University - San Marcos). He had to drop out of college for one year to serve as principal and teach at Welhausen School (a Mexican-American school in the south). He learned compassion for the poor while working at that school. On November 17, 1934, he married Claudia “Lady Bird� Taylor. They eventually had two daughters, Lynda and Luci. Johnson, a Democrat, served as a United States Representative from Texas, from 1937–1949 and as United States Senator from 1949–1961. After campaigning unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in 1960, Johnson was asked by John F. Kennedy to be his running mate for the 1960 presidential election. They won the election and Johnson became the Vice President. On November 22, 1963, when Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson was sworn in as President. In 1964, he was elected President in is own right. He was one of the four people at that time who served in all four elected federal offices. LBJ was responsible for designing the “Great Society� legislation that included laws that upheld civil rights, as well as Public Broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, aid to education and his “War on Poverty.� During this time the United States also made achievements in explorations of space. Three astronauts successfully orbited the moon in December 1968. The American involvement in the Vietnam War escalated in this time period and Johnson’s popularity started declining because of the opposition to the war. There was also unrest and rioting in ghettos despite the beginning of the anti-poverty and anti-discrimination programs. He was remembered favorably by historians because of his domestic policies. When President Johnson left office, peace talks were under way but he didn’t live to see them through. He died suddenly of a heart attack at his Texas “LBJ Ranch� on January 22, 1973.

Dramatic Discus

Discus are 3 species in the larger group called Cichlids (pronounced sick-lid). Discus are from the Amazon River in South America.

Discus Disco

Discus make great fish for your aquarium. They like to be in groups and with many colors and styles out there to choose from you can find just the right discus for you!

They get their name from their shape - very thin and round. Most discus are covered in stripes of blue, They also get along with some other green or red in order to blend in with the grasses on community fish. Since they like special the river bed and to communicate with other discus. water, these cool critters will dance their way all around your tank.

Discus are unique because of they way they take care of their babies. Like a lot of cichlids, the discus carefully take care of their eggs and larvae. The small fry (the name for baby fish) hang out with mom or dad when they are tiny. And the parents actually have a special slime that the fry will eat for the first week. Create a discus disk! What you will need: paper plates staples Try This! stuffing markers scissors 1. Staple your paper plates together (insides touching) about 3/4 of the way around. 2. Fill with stuffing or crumpled plastic bags 3. Staple remainder shut. 4. Color a discus on both sides of your plates 5. You now have a discus disk!

Discus like to live in lakes, rivers, streams and shallow puddles. During the day they will hang out in the shadows enhancing their camouflage. Discus like to live in small groups, they are happier and feel safer this way. They are at their happiest when they get to hang out with their friends...just like you! A full grown discuss can get up to 10 inches across, and will eat small shrimp, fish and worms. Sometimes the food they eat will actually make them more colorful! Their stripes and spots are not just for decoration. They actually use them to communicate with each other. How cool is a fish that can talk with its stripes?!

Let’s Learn About Paleontology Paleontology (pronounced pay-lee-uhn- tol -uh-jee) is the scientific study of life in the geologic path, escpecially through the exploration and study of animal and plant fossils. Fossils are the remains, or impression of ancient animals and plants. They can be mineralized bones, teeth, shells, wood or actual unaltered material from an organism. Eggs, nests, footprints, skeletons, leaf impressions are all examples of trace fossils. Fossils are all old. The oldest known fossils are 3.5 billion years old! They have also been found on every continent on Earth. The word fossil comes from the Latin word fossilis, which means “dug up�. This shows the fossilized remains of Most fossils are found in Uintacrinus socialis crinoids. These sedimentary rock layers that creatures lived in the Cretaceous Period are formed from elements which was 144 to 65 million years ago. such as sand, mud and small pieces of rock. These small pieces are compressed or squeezed together and are buried under more and more layers of sediment as time goes on. Layers buried further down on Earth are older then the layers on the surface. A fossil of a bone doesn’t have any bone in it! It has the same shape as the original, but is chemically more like a rock. For example: An animal is quickly buried after its death. Over time, more and more sediment covers its remains. The parts of the animal that didn’t rot, like the bones and teeth are covered completely by newly formed sediment. After a long while, the chemicals in the

buried animal’s body go through a series of changes. As the bone slowly decays, water combined with minerals seep into the bone and will replace the chemicals in the bone with rock-like minerals. This is called permineralization - which is the filling up of spaces in fossils with minerals, and for recrystallization in which a mineral changes its form. At the end, it becomes a heavy, rock-like copy of the original object called a fossil. There is another way a fossil can form. It’s called petrification. To petrify, is to preserve hard and soft parts and slowly replace organic material with silica, calcite or pyrite, forming a rock-like fossil. Wood is often petrified. Some tree saps can preserve insects or pieces of plants.

You Can Make Your Own Fossil Supplies Needed: Modeling Clay Optional materials: shells, leaves, twigs and sticks, bones, plastic dinosaurs, plastic insects, etc. Use your hands and flatten the modeling clay into the size you want. Press the various objects firmly into the modeling clay. Wait a few minutes and gently remove the objects from the clay. Once you see the impression of each object, then you’ve just created a fossil!

Armed Forces Day is a day to honor all the men and women in all branches of the service who protect our country and us. They are called upon at a moment’s notice to perform risky and perilous missions for freedom and our country. This came about when Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson, in 1949, announced the creation of Armed Forces Day so all military branches could celebrate on the same day.
