Learn Sudoku!

To promote problem solving and critical thinking skills, children at Steward often engage in practicing Sudoku!  Ben had a simple way to teach those who are new to these fun and addictive puzzles and we had to capture it on film.  Try one and use Ben's strategies to help you!   Sodoku by Ben from Michelle Costa on Vimeo.

Trash Free Tuesday

Our students did a great job preventing waste from filling our trash cans on Trash Free Tuesday! 

Preparing for Trash Free Tuesday

Students from student council played the role of the Super RS (reduce, reuse, recycle, rot and rethink). They were at each lunch this week teaching the children about things they could bring the next day to prevent waste.

Innovation Incubator

Dear Family, We have started an “Innovation Incubator” that will help us grow and cultivate our creative ideas into more creative ideas! If your child has had an innovative idea at home or has a business (yes, we have several developing), a creation, invention, game or other product that demonstrates true innovation, please send it in for a short time to help others become inspired! When your child sends it in, please have him/her write a short description of how the idea was generated, what they have created and how it could potentially help others. We love innovation here at Steward School. It is an important component of G.R.I.T! Sincerely, Mrs. Costa

Valerie Tutson

The children were mesmerized yesterday as they listened to Valerie Tutson share stories from South Africa. They learned so much about captive and expressive storytelling! The children were active participants throughout the show and we are hoping they come home and share stories in a similar way after her incredible modeling. Thank you, TESPTO!
