The school was dressed in red, white and blue today while we observed Veterans Day at Silver Sage. Our 3rd Grade students gave the years first music performance today to celebrate Veterans. Patriotic songs were sang, flags were waved, poems read, and a slideshow with pictures to honor family members of our Silver Sage community. We loved sharing this time with our 3rd grade families in attendance and being together to share the special day. Thank You Veterans for your service, and Thank You Miss Dorofeyev along with 3rd grade students for your hard work and performance today.
Today we celebrated Halloween and the Harvest season! The halls and playground looked much different with all of the costumes. Classes celebrated with festivities in their classrooms. Have fun tonight Stallions and see you all tomorrow!
1st Grade got to hear important safety messages from firefighters last week. Boise Fire Fighters came to SSE to share safety tips, show some of their equipment and more. Student's loved seeing some of their community heroes up close and personal!
Students in PE have been working on their frisbee skills. 3-5 grades got to test their abilities with a disc golf course. They navigated the course all over the playground, trying to make their way to the target in the least amount of throws. Students had to learn the etiquette when playing. Luckily we didn't have to yell "Fore" too much. They also learned that a lifetime sport like disc golf can be a creative and enjoyable way to get some fresh air and exercise in local parks.
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!
What an experience for our 1st graders! Today they got to visit the Ag Expo to learn about agriculture and animals. Such a fun learning experience!
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.

IBOB stands for Idaho Battle of the Books. We had some 4th & 5th grade students working hard in teams to read 16 books, learning about the settings, characters, and as many details as possible. 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! They represented Silver Sage and we are so proud of them! Thanks to their coaches Mrs. Jimenez and Mrs. Dover and for their dedication and helping the teams with their success!
Rady. Set. Scratch!!! Scratch for Schools with the Idaho Lottery is always a ton of fun, but then to add some $$$ for Silver Sage on top of it is so great! Thanks to Mrs. Stanfill, Mrs. Smock, and PTO's Constance for their enthusiasm, smiles, and bringing home some money for Silver Sage!
On Thursday we invited our first grade families to their students music performance. Students were so excited to sing for their families! It was a great time to get together as a community to celebrate these kiddos and their hard work. 1st grade - way to go!
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!
On Thursday during lunch, Silver Sage had some guests from J.R. Simplot Company visit students to celebrate "Digging into school breakfast" this week. After students had their delicious meals, they got a chance to pick out some sweet swag. Students loved having visitors, and of course they loved their lunches too!
