Fundraiser to benefit the Idaho Education Association’s Children’s Fund


Discovery Families:

Discovery Elementary is participating in a fundraiser to benefit the Idaho Education Association’s Children’s Fund.  Every year, the Children’s Fund helps students and families in need. Past needs have included shoes, eye glasses, coats, dental work, medicine, and much, much more!  Discovery families have directly benefited from this fund.

Discovery has decided to put together a basket that will be placed in a silent auction where all the proceeds go toward the Children’s Fund.  Discovery’s basket theme is “Springtime Fun!” We are asking parents who wish to participate to donate items related to our theme.  Basket ideas might include: kites, outdoor games, gardening tools, art/craft ideas, etc.  The basket will be taken to the IEA Delegate Assembly held in Boise, April 12-13th, where participants will place their bids. 

*If anyone has a cooler or picnic basket that they’d like to donate to use as our basket, please contact Amy Bickford at 855-4090, so we avoid getting duplicates.  Thanks!

**All donated items need to be brought to school by Friday, April 5th.  Students may bring items at any time between now and then to help fill our basket.  Thanks for your support!

Never Eat Soggy Waffles

On Monday, the students used iPads to learn about a compass.  The students used the iPad compasses to figure out which direction is North, South, East and West.  Using the phrase "never east soggy waffles" they learned the order of N,S,E,W.  Next the students used their knowledge to create a compass rose on the carpet.  They then figured out how to give directions from our outside door to the playground.  It was a fun lesson!
