Team Projects

Students worked in groups of 4-5 to create a presentation on an assigned country.  Before handing the project over to the students, we modeled a couple of lessons on two different countries.  Next we grouped the students and assigned each team a countries to research and plan a team presentation. 

Here are the presentations and photos of the students in action!

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 12-13^th, 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 5^th.  Students may bring items at any time between now and then to help fill our basket.  Thanks for your support!
