Yesterday, three Spalding STEM staff got to attend Idaho Lottery Jim Bruce Scratch for Schools hosted by the Idaho Lottery! Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Amy, and Ms. Jamie put their all into the event and earned us a whopping $300. This money will enrich Spalding and we are so thankful. #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

First graders worked hard to create leprechaun traps...but alas they couldn't outsmart the leprechauns. Just before St. Patricks day the students engineered traps using a variety of materials. Our students are pretty smart and creative, we aren't sure why they weren't able to catch a leprechaun! #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids
Right before Spring Break, the 5th grade All-Stars played basketball against the Pirates (AKA Staff). It was a fast, fun, high scoring, and competitive game. The 4th and 5th graders who watched seemed to have as much fun as everyone on the court! 🏀 #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

Today was the 4th Grade Music program. The program theme was Idaho History. The 4th graders did a great job singing and playing their recorders. A big thanks to Ms. Floyd for all of her hard work organizing the program and helping the kids to be prepared. #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

When students complete their i-Ready minutes there is a significant positive impact on their educational growth. Working on these minutes at home allows students to extend their learning opportunities. #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

Spalding STEM'S Third grade was happy to host KTVB's meteorologist, Rachel Garceau for a weather presentation this morning! She helped kick off our PBL unit on weather and got students excited about meteorology. Each third-grade class will be showcased tomorrow (Tuesday) morning on "Wake Up Idaho" if you'd like to tune in to KTVB, at 6:50 a.m. (approx.). #SpaldingSTEM #ForOurKids

It is READ Week at Spalding STEM. There is a dress-up theme for each day. And don't forget that Wednesday is a Professional Development Day so there is no school. Our PTO is also holding it's annual Dime Drive this week. It's going to be a great week of learning!
