Halloween Party

We will have our Halloween Party on Friday, October 30th from 11:00-11:45. The class has been working hard and is looking forward to the party!  If you would like to send in something for the Halloween Party, please see the notice that was sent home on Friday and contact Mrs. Fullerton. 
There will be time prior to the party for the children to change into their costumes. The school discourages violent costumes, props and make up. Please feel free to drop by and join us for our celebration.

Amazing Hero Art

On Thursday Rob Surette brought his Amazing Hero Art to Steward School. We were in awe of his speed and artistic talent! Rob shared a very important message too. He told the children that with practice anything is possible and he inspired everyone to make a difference in the world!

Rob painted this incredible portrait of Abraham Lincoln in three minutes!

Thank you to TESPTO for generously funding this Cultural Enrichment Program!

Curriculum Update

Here's an update of some of the learning that has been happening in Room 215. Math-  During the past few weeks, the students have learned to add two 4-digit numbers to 10,000 with and without regrouping. They've  also practiced solving addition word problems. Writing- The students are composing a personal narrative. We started by discussing seed ideas. A seed idea focuses on a small moment of time. The class also completed a graphic organizer and mapped out their thoughts on sticky notes to help them plan their writing. The children are currently revising their original writing by including more details and their thoughts and feelings to help the reader feel as if they are right there. 

The students used sticky notes to help plan their narrative.

Reading-The class has been discussing character traits and how some characters change over time. Good readers think about the characters in a story to help them understand what they are reading. Science- We continue to observe our plants and learn  about each  part of the plant. The class recently discussed photosynthesis and this week we are going to learn about seed dispersal.

Last week our plants went through a big growth spurt!
