Tipi Dan

Again, one of our favorite presentations at Steward, Tipi Dan and Cathy visited us today. They are experts on Native American culture by bringing real life experience of building a Tipi and details about the culture and history. The third graders did an amazing job! 

A Snapshot of Differentation

When walking around after lunch in grades K and 1, I was amazed at the amount of small group and partner work/play that was going on! Everyone was getting what they needed. Mrs. Casagrande had her students in suspense introducing their math centers for the day!

Dr. O Visits Mrs. Jordan's Class

GREEN and Healthy Lunch at Steward

The children at Steward are eating  lunches with a variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables. They are also recycling, composting and stacking their REUSEABLE trays. We thank our new company, Whitsons, for the healthy food options, the GREEN team for being present during the first few weeks of sorting after eating and the cafeteria staff for making the shift to REUSEABLE trays to help us GO GREEN!

Reusable Lunch Containers

I could not believe how many children were using reusable containers for their lunches on Friday! I had to make the transition myself.
