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!

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.
