Silver Sage Elementary School

Today we had our lockdown drill, and some members of the fire department happened to stop by as well. Of course, we had to have a police vs. fireman mustache competition! These two were good sports! Thank you to our emergency responders for always keeping us safe.

First graders collaborated to write some informational sentences about their Principal, Mrs. Spittle. They practiced some great writing tools like thinking maps, brainstormed describing words, chunked out the sentences using a tree branch, and then wrote complete sentences with their best handwriting! Their pictures also matched the description perfectly! Way to go 1st grade!

4th grade students really got a chance to build on their learning by building landforms! They had read, seen pictures, and videos about the different landforms but now they got to show what they really know by building them using sand, rocks, water, hands, and brains!

Sometimes the students just need to take the lead. Some of our older students were leading their younger peers in activities today to practice letter names, sounds, and counting. It was a ton of fun to hear them use their teacher voice and I think the students really enjoyed their substitutes for today's lesson!

Idaho Battle of the Books begins this week! 4th and 5th grade students are encouraged to start reading! Students who choose to participate need to read at least one book by Thursday, October 11th.

We had a unique and awesome recess today with the Thunderbirds practicing for their upcoming air show and flying right by the school! Students were amazed with the aerobatic maneuvers and screamed with excitement! I’m not sure if they got permission from Mrs. Spittle for the flyby, but she would have definitely said YES!!!!

Having planes fly over Silver Sage is nothing new, but having the #airforcethunderbirds flying overhead was amazing! Our location near the airport gave us an awesome viewpoint to watch as the Thunderbirds practice their aerobatic skills for their event this weekend in Boise. Students couldn’t get enough of it and we spent a few extra minutes outside for recess to see as much as we could. I’m still not sure which was louder - the jets or the kids screaming with excitement and filled with awe! #silversageelementary

On Saturday, two of our teams, The Elite Bookworms and The Doughnuts competed to answer questions about all of these books. Our teams made it to the Semi Finals!

We have the power to do great things at Silve Sage! Each month we focus on one of our Learner Powers. This month, we are focusing on the power to collaborate. To help learn this, we are working together to finish a mural on the board. When our teachers notice students doing kind things, they get a set of stickers to put on the mural. They have to match the color to a letter that shows where it goes on the mural. The whole school is working together to be kind so that we get all the stickers we need to finish! What do you think the final picture will be? Keep being kind and let's collaborate!
