Classes celebrated this important and inspirational historical figure during the month of January with educational activities that focused on his vital role in the Civil Rights Movement.
End of Semester Shenanigans
Calder students celebrated the end of the first semester and their vast achievements with a school-wide party in the gym. Students were able to watch their recent Christmas program performances on the big screen while enjoying some hot cocoa and popcorn.
Calder Team Puts our School on the Map
Idaho Spuds Recognized by the Institute of Competition Sciences
Mrs. Renee's 5th-8th grade science students were excited when their team was announced at the January 8 Symposium. Their hard work during the Plant the Moon Challenge was rewarded with a Best in Show Award for Best Evaluation of Results.
We couldn't be prouder!
Annual Greenhouse Project Set to Resume
This year marks the third year of the Calder School's greenhouse project. Each year students plant seeds donated by community members. In the past, students have learned about germination and plant growth conditions, experimented with different soil types, and monitored progress of different types of plants.
We are once again seeking seed donations. Please consider contributing to this fun project.
Please bring seed donations to the school's office.
Teachers Visit Upriver School
Teachers are taking their professional development on the road on February 2. Calder staff members will visit the Panthers in Fernwood to glean instructional ideas and form connections with other small school teachers. We look forward to learning from them and bringing new practices back to Calder to further our District goals.
