Read Across America Day

Last week we celebrated Dr. Seuss's Birthday at Steward School! First, we had a whole school assembly to kick off the our celebration of reading, which will continue all month. Then my sister-in-law, Danielle (A.K.A. Dr. Pelletier) and my adorable niece Maddison read to our class.

We loved listening to Oh, the Places You'll Go!

 Maddison enjoyed the story and checking out our library. I think she caught the reading bug today!


My sister-in-law is a veterinarian. After she read to the class, she told the children about her job and they had an opportunity to ask questions. When talking to the children, Danielle shared how she uses math, reading and writing every day at her job. We had such a great day today! Thank you to Danielle and Maddison for reading to us!

There are more fun activities planned to celebrate reading this month. Please check back soon to share these events with us!

                             

The whole school decorated doors to celebrate reading and Dr. Seuss. This is our door! I am so proud of the students in room 215. They impress me every day with their curiosity and creativity!

Hoops for Steward

The students have been learning about opinion writing over the past few months. One of their assignments was to write about a way to improve Steward School or our classroom. A few students thought a basketball court would be a wonderful addition to our playground. They decided to form a committee "Hoops for Steward" and discussed ways to make a basketball court a reality. They met regularly, collected signatures of interested students and made posters. They also spoke at a whole school assembly to share their work with the school. 

Last Thursday, the Hoops for Steward Committee presented their ideas to the Topsfield School Committee. They shared how they got the idea, what they've done so far and fundraising ideas. The children also shared reasons why we should have a basketball court and supported their thoughts with details. 

One of the committee members was sick, but he was able to Face Time with the School Committee to share his part of the presentation. Now that's dedication!


I'm so proud of all the work the children have put into this project. They've definitely shown G.R.I.T.!
