Sacajawea’s STEM and Fitness Night was a Blast!

Recently, Sacajawea held a STEM and Fitness Night.  Families could do STEM activities and get a taco salad dinner.  If they did fitness activities they got a smoothie.  There were also science displays showing parents what their children were learning in class.  The night was enjoyed by all and it was enhanced by having community partners come in to do STEM activities with the families.  Thank you to Book It Forward for handing out free books, Micron for setting up lots of STEM activities, Caldwell Fire and Rescue, the Caldwell Police Department, the City of Caldwell Wastewater Technology, the 4H, the Deer Flat youth for making smoothies, and the Syringa Middle School AP Science students for helping with this great night!  Thanks also to our staff for helping set up this evening and our families for attending.

 

Enjoying Sunshine and a Book With 3rd Grade

Sacajawea's 3rd grade team decided it was too beautiful of a day to be stuck inside doing our AR reading time. So we took the students outside to soak up some vitamin D and foster the love of reading.

CPR is Coming Soon!

21st Century and St. Luke's Children's Hospital are bringing a CPR for friends and family class.  It is Monday, April 22nd from 6-8pm at Sacajawea's 21st Century Classroom #6.  This class is intended for anyone who wants to learn how to perform CPR on adults and children, how to use an AED and how to help a person who is choking.  This is a non-certifying class.  Class size is limited.  Please contact Katie Bishop at 217-412-8575 or 208-455-3333 to reserve your spot.

Second Grade Students Study Balance and Motion!

Recently, Sacajawea’s second grade students rotated classes each Wednesday to learn about balance and motion.  They made marshmallow shooters, mobiles, structures, and objects that rolled down ramps.  This was a great learning experience for all of our second grade students.  If you would like to design rolling objects, please come to Sacajawea’s Family STEM and Fitness Night (April 11th 6:00-7:45) as this is one of the many activities.  

Sacajawea's Family STEM & Fitness Night is Thursday, April 11th!

Let's get ready to have some fun! The STEM activities will be from 6:00-7:30 and Fitness activities will go from 6:30-7:30. The fitness activities that families can participate in are tetherball, basketball, pickleball, football toss, kickball, and a crossfit course.  

Some of the STEM activities are building animal houses, making kazoos, building tall towers and weight bearing structures, designing and testing rolling objects, and making constellations. There will also be STEM activities brought in by our community partners and a chance to view the science experiments your child did in class.

Your family will be able to enjoy a taco salad dinner after doing a STEM activity and get a smoothie after a fitness activity.   If they do both a STEM activity and a fitness activity, they will get both a taco salad dinner and a smoothie! We look forward to seeing you at this great event!
