One of the many amazing posters created each year to celebrate the Appaloosa and are on display at the
Appaloosa Horse Museum |
 |
| Thousands of years ago horses are drawn on cave walls---could these be leopard appaloosa? |
 |
| The Nez Perce were breeders and creatorts of beautiful beaded ornamentation for themselves and their horses. |
 |
| The museum is full of facts that the kids collected on their note catchers. |
 |
| Using the Moscow Pullman Daily News for a Science Article study. The kids learn to look for text to self, other texts, and world connections to engage with the writing. We discuss the facts, learn to cite the location of the information and make deeper meaning about the material from a STEAM perspective. |
 |
| Speaking of STEAM, 2 members of the Latah Miniature Railway Group came to educate the kids about the STEAM connections in the railroad industry. These two men, Mr. Joe Overstreet and Mr. Jerry Swatman have either worked or been involved in some way with trains their whole lives. Each presented in depth knowledge about all aspects of how trains were the premiere transportation model. It was super interesting and the kids will be able to visit the trains at the Latah Fairgrounds soon. The explained steam to diesel, grades, and memories of work. |
 |
| While the men were talking--someone thought about the Boxcar Kid Series and I pulled up a picture. Then Mr. Jerry gave lots of mathematical facts about boxcars from weight empty to how many are on a train to where the cargo is carried. |
 |
| About to enter the Good Samaritan Village for our first tour by Jesse Watson. The kids were able to see 16 different areas and learn about the what, who, and why behind the whole organization. We also had an activity with some of the residents and planned our next visit. We will help do some service by raking leaves. That will be fun! |
 |
| In the cafeteria and getting the information about how many meals are made, who eats there and how they organize the room. |
 |
| A library with no check out---honor system. That was a new idea for the kids. |
 |
| Happy together |
 |
| A pumpkin pair |
 |
| Pumpkins that hangout together. |
 |
| Great personalities hang out together. |
 |
| Just general good feelings were shared. |
 |
| They were a true reflection of their creators. :) |
 |
| Art comes to life. |
 |
| Stickers and zombies did influence one tables creations. |
 |
| The kids had the option to paint on the pumpkins too. |
 |
| It was a very fun activity planned by Good Samaritan and the kids loved it. The staff was terrific to work with and our next step is matching up Pen Pals. The kids get so much out of writing letters in cursive and receiving letters in cursive. The excitement of making a new friend and help the kids learn about the past and people's lives is invaluable. |

These drawings on the whiteboard were done during Chinese as Teacher Fu has been teaching body parts. The class was broken into teams and each got a chance to add one part. And of course say the parts. We know a song now that helps to remember the language.
