Extracurriculars

4th and 5th grade students will work together to improve our campus garden and install native plants and pollinator plants. We will also keep our recycling program going and beautify the campus.

Open to 4th and 5th grade students, this club meets once a week in the Spring to prepare for a end of year showcase.

Boldt ES's Military Kids Club is designed to ensure inclusive, quality educational opportunities for all military-connected children affected by mobility, transition, deployments and family separation. As a campus-based military liaison, Mrs. Anderson is responsible for serving as the point of contact and working collaboratively between military-connected students and their families and the campus.  Both counselors assist with campus-based supports such as small group counseling. The counselors provide services  to military-connected students based on their unique needs, including their high mobility and deployment rate. 

This group is open to THIRD GRADE, FOURTH GRADE AND FIFTH GRADE students who are Military Connected at Boldt Elementary.  The Military Kids Club will occur after school on Thursdays in the library once per month for 6 months.  Parents will be responsible for all transportation.  The club dates and times are as follows:

• Thursday, November 18th 3:15-4:15pm
• Thursday, December 9th, 3:15-4:15pm
• Thursday, January 20th, 3:15-4:15pm

Flight Club is a tuition-based after-school program for Kindergarten and First Grade students in Northside Independent School District. It is an engineering program where students work in teams or individually to design, test, and modify 4 tools that interact with air - kites, parachutes, paper airplanes, and simple rockets. Students learn about the basic principles of flight and design when creating each of these tools. It's a great opportunity for students to challenge their thinking and gives them hands-on ways to see how these tools are built and how they work!

Tomorrow’s innovators practice imaginative thinking and teamwork. Guided by adult Coaches, FIRST LEGO League teams research a real-world problem such as food safety, recycling, energy, etc., and are challenged to develop a solution. They also must design, build, program a robot using LEGO MINDSTORMS® technology, then compete on a table-top playing field.

It all adds up to tons of fun while they learn to apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts (STEM), plus a big dose of imagination, to solve a problem. Along their discovery journey, they develop critical thinking and team-building skills, basic STEM applications, and even presentation skills, as they must present their solutions with a dash of creativity to judges. They also practice the Program’s signature Core Values.
