Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's the 100th Day!




The children had a fun-filled, fantastic day on the 100th Day of First Grade!
 It's amazing to see all they have learned and the wonderful friendships
 that have blossomed in 100 Days of First Grade!
In the afternoon we had our 100th Day Parade, sharing our 100th Day vests
with the other first grade and Kindergarten classes. We visited the office and Mrs. Willa's office too! Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.  
The children were so creative!








We even took turns writing words until we had 100 Words!

Valentine's Day Celebration

Dear Families,

On Thursday, February 14th, the children will be having a small Valentine's Day Friendship celebration in our classroom.  
Sharing one another's Valentine's Day cards is so special and fun in first grade! We are looking forward to creating our own mailboxes and awaiting some Valentines from all of our first grade friends in our classroom! To take part in this exciting event, we ask that all students send a Valentine to one another. Throughout the day the children will take turns delivering their Valentines to all of their classmates.  
After lunch, all of the children will be opening their Valentine cards while enjoying a small treat.  We ask that your child make a Valentine for every member of our class.  Here is a copy of our class list to help your child make his/her cards!

Global School Play Day!

On Wednesday, February 6th Steward School
  is celebrating Global School Play Day 2019!
This means no screens, no structure, just play!  



Calling All Toys!
The children can bring anything they wish to play with to school
on Wednesday, February 6, 2019.
The only restrictions: they must bring toys and these toys
may NOT require batteries or electricity. No devices.
Here are some ideas: board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, race tracks,
playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, craft materials, jigsaw puzzles,
blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.)
The only exception on the electronics rule would be a board game
that has an electronic timer, an electronics play kit, or similar.

 Items can be brought to school on Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday so we will be all ready for our day
of unstructured play!
