Plato Testing

Next week, students in grades 3-5 will begin Plato testing.  This test will show us the amount of growth students in grades 3-5 have made in reading and math.  We will use the data from this testing to help us plan lessons for the students so they can be successful during spring ISAT testing in April and May.  Students who show 10% growth from their fall Plato testing will be part of a Plato Pizza Party in December.  The exact date is still to be determined.  Please encourage your children to do their best on the test, and show us what they know!

Lost and Found

Our lost and found is running over with coats, hats and gloves.  Many of these items look almost brand new.  Any items left in the lost and found at Christmas vacation will be donated to the Idaho Youth Ranch.  Please stop by and claim what belongs at your house! :)

Thanksgiving Dinner

Thank you to all our hard working cafeteria ladies for the wonderful Thanksgiving Feast we enjoyed last Thursday.  The food was outstanding, students were so polite and well mannered, and everyone was stuffed beyond compare.  We enjoyed having all the parents and community members who were able to attend.  It was a dinner to remember.

Dragon Fruit!!

Students at our school experienced a fun, new snack this past week.  Dragon Fruit, native to Viet Nam, was a huge hit and we can't wait to have it again!!

Miss Wendy takes a break

Miss Wendy took a little break, and when she came back she found this good looking boy in her spot!  Thanks Ashton, for holding down the fort!  :)

Veteran's Day Assembly, Nov 10th

Shoshone students were a wonderful audience today during our Veteran's Day Assembly.  We are so proud of the outstanding citizenship they showed to our veterans and represenatives from the armed forces.  Our students were able to participate in the assembly by singing "Thank a Vet", and helping the guest speaker with their special word "Sacrifice".  It was a wonderful assembly for everyone involved.

Awards Assembly on Monday November 7th

Students and teachers celebrated learning successes on Monday, Nov 7th.  Students were recognized for having perfect attendance, being Shining Stars, having high achievement, and being good citizens in their classrooms and on the playground.  Certificates were given, and prizes were drawn.  Additionally students participated in games if they had perfect attendance, and 100% of their homework turned in on time. Mr. Thueson gave us information on the history of our United States flag and how to take good care of it, and Miss Wendy told us about a new contest to collect Box Tops for Education.  It was a great assembly and we are proud of our students here at Shoshone Elementary!  Let's keep up the good work!
