We had our Powderpuff football game last Thursday! It was so much fun! The two teams tied in the end. In addition to our football players, we had referees, announcers, dancers, and cheerleaders. Thanks to Mr. Larson for organizing this event each year!
This is our bye week, but that isn't stopping our boys! we worked out a matchup with Declo tonight on our turf!

Mrs. Kraus' class did their "Probability with M&Ms" lesson Wednesday and Thursday. We will be using the data to make bar graphs and circle graphs. Mrs. Van Every's ELA class is collaborating on it. She is using the M&M theme this week to do their narrative stories.
6th Grade Science Lab Highlights
On Thursday, our 6th graders explored Phase Changes through a hands-on lab! Students observed how the temperature of ice changes as it is heated and investigated what happens during a phase change from solid to liquid (and eventually to gas). Key Concept: Heating a substance doesn’t always increase its temperature. During a phase change, the added energy is used to change the state of matter—like melting ice into water—instead of speeding up particle motion.
Students did a fantastic job recording observations and connecting them to the science behind energy and matter!

Day one of our Connect 4 tournament during lunch. Stay tuned to see our big winners!! 🏴☠️💜💛💜💛🏴☠️
We need four volunteers to help with parking at the cross country meet tomorrow from 4 to 5 pm. If you are willing to help, please contact Mr. Heath at 208-436-3178 or dheath@minidokaschools.org.
🏴☠️Today our 6th graders completed a lab investigating the process of diffusion. Students carefully added drops of food coloring to still water and recorded their observations over time. Through this activity, they discovered that even when water looks still, its particles are always moving, which causes the food coloring to spread out.
🏴☠️This hands-on investigation helped students visualize particle motion and connect it to our unit on Energy and Matter. They also practiced making claims, supporting them with evidence, and sketching models of what they observed.
