Math Workshop

During Math Workshop, the children participate in a mini-lesson from our Math in Focus curriculum.  Then there are four math stations that reinforce the math concept we are working on.  The children spend time at two stations a day, visiting each of the stations over the course of two days.  The Math Workshop session ends with a Sharing time where we talk about something we have learned, and the children may be asked to solve a problem based on the new skill they have been using at the math stations.  We have been working on the numbers 0 - 10, recognizing the numbers in different forms (numerals, dot patterns, fingers, ten frame patterns), writing the numerals correctly, counting, and understanding the concept of more than and less than.  The children enjoy the hands-on learning involved with our busy Math Workshop time.  Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help us with our Math stations.

Kindergarten Reading

The children have been working hard to build up their stamina in Reading to Self.  They have also learned how to Read to Someone.  Many of the expectations are the same, including get started right away.  Stay in one place and read quietly the whole time.  Make sure the book is in the middle so you and your partner both can see.  Ask your child about "EEKK" position.  They are doing a wonderful job and will soon learn about about Listen to Reading using RAZ kids on the iPads.  More information will be sent home so that your child may listen to reading at home as well.

K-Rob BMX School Assembly Program

World Record Holder and 10 time X Games Medalist, K-Rob came to Steward School and talked to the children about setting goals, perseverance and being a positive person.  All while impressing us with his amazing bicycle stunts.

Our own classmate, James, was chosen to help K-Rob make a basket!

Everyone was surprised when K-Rob rode in to the gym!

Two points!  Teamwork!
