We have some exciting new things headed to Silver Sage thanks to some of our teachers who were awarded grants from the West Ada Foundation! In total, these 3 teachers are bringing in over $8,000 worth of new materials to enrich the learning of our Silver Sage learners!
Mrs. Ellington's class is getting "Hand's On" with their learning! The purpose is to increase tactile learning in both kindergarten classrooms. The grant money will be used to create sensory bins for number and letter recognition, fine motor skills practice (like buttoning things and shoe tying practice), and sandpaper letters and numbers to help with identification. Both kindergarten teachers are so excited to share this tools with their classes!
Ms. Gorman's grant will fund additional STEM bin activities in our 4th grade classrooms. Items such as Picaso Tiles, Legos, Kinetic Sand and more will enrich the bins that get used weekly. Additionally, student's are getting a Lego Technic Set to illustrate the Planet Earth and Moon in orbit that will be used to the STAR lab on our school wide STEM day!
Mrs. Boyd knows that to learn music, you need to be able to play the instruments. Students have been limited by the number of instruments we have and needed to share and wait. Not anymore! Grant money will be used to purchase more instruments including 12 new barred instruments! With these new instruments, students will be able to play and create much more intricate music, from the steady bass beat to the high melodies.
What fun we had during our Trunk or Treat event on Friday! Our cars had amazing themes, and our community came out dressed and ready for fun! Thanks to everyone who attended to help make it one of the best attended and festive Trunk or Treat we've had! We love bringing everyone together to celebrate and have fun.
The weather is getting cooler and it's time to start planning for the Holidays! Silver Sage is happy to host our annual Holiday Bazaar on Saturday November 8th from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM.

The Night at the Farmstead is always a great event every fall! Such an awesome event to have our community come out to enjoy a staple of Idaho - corn mazes and fall fun! And of course, Kiss the Pig! Thanks to our 4th grade team who "won" the piggy bank contest and the opportunity to Kiss the Pig while the students cheered them on!
Did someone say "Tennis"? Students had the opportunity to learn the sport of Tennis this week after school. The Tennis is Elementary program opened students eyes to the awesome sport. There were tons of smiles while they were striking and volleying over the net and the coaches brought all the knowledge and enthusiasm! Look out for some of these kiddos on a court near you!

Our students are taking steps to move mountains with their learning! Each month, we focus on a new strategy that we call a Learner Power. We discuss what it means, how we can use it, and practice it! In September, our Learner Power is Adapt. We made a connection to chameleons who change their colors and discuss all the ways that we adapt to our new grade, classroom, routines, and also how we adapt to learn better.
Please join us on Thursday, August 28 at 6:00 PM for Back to School Night. This event is for our families to learn about the Silver Sage, the curriculum, events, PTO, and hear from the staff. The night will begin in the gymnasium for staff introductions and to hear from our Principal Mrs. Spittle about school wide topics. After that you are invited to your students classrooms to hear from their teachers about more details that are specific to their grade and classroom. This is a great way to get the year started and we can’t wait to see you there!
