It might be summer break, but many Spalding STEM teachers are spending time as students. One training that has been super engaging and beneficial this week is Thinking Maps! Teachers are excited to learn about thinking maps because we see how this training can accentuate our classroom instruction. (Not all teachers who attended are pictured 😊) #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

Janet Rosen Last Friday, Spalding STEM 4th graders had a Rendezvous. Our afternoon was filled with learning activities inspired by Idaho History. Students panned for gold, made butter, learned about quilting, learned about native plants, and more. It was a fantastic day and was only possible because of the many volunteers we had! Thank you to our parents and community for helping our 4th grades learn about and celebrate Idaho's past. #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

They spent time calculating area and perimeter, doing multi-step word problems, and reviewing fractions, multiplication/division and measurements. They also worked on glow editing, reading comprehension and had some great tic tac toe battles! They loved “glowing” what they know! #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids
