Book Talks

The "Book Talks" in Mrs. Burke's class were astonishing!  Each child had a job:

Question creator 

Main idea detective

Connector

Word Wizard 

Children facilitated these conversations themselves and Mrs. Sewall and Mrs. Burke were mainly observers. 

Third Grade DASH

The third graders have been learning about deafness and have participated in activities that help them to better understand this disability.  Thank you to all the parent volunteers that make this program possible!! 

Independent Projects in Mrs. Jordan's Class

The children in Mrs. Jordan's class were given the ability to pick a topic of their own interest and write a research report and present their findings. There was a process in which their topic had to the approved and the children presented with great confidence! 

Congratulations Third Grade

Thank you to those who donated!! Our third graders generated $400 at the recent art auction to raise money for "Partners for a Greater Voice."  This is an organization that we have connected with through our Student Council and the local Early Act rotary program. This organization helps hearing impaired children in the Dominican Republic gain access to hearing aids and necessary therapies. The children do all of the work, from creating the art to running the cash register.  This was our international project and next we will work locally to help The Community Giving Tree get school supplies for children in the Tri-Town who are in need. Look for more information soon!

Famous People Who Have Made A Difference

Today our second graders did a phenomenal job at their performance, "Famous People Who Have Made A Difference."  Each child was dressed as their famous person and then read a speech they had written about the person's life that they had researched themselves. Some day second graders at 
Steward School will be researching and dressing up like these talented second graders!

DASH in second grade

Second graders have been learning about blindness in the DASH program (Disability Awareness Starts Here). They were great supporters for one another as they acted as one another's guides.
