Couple notes to all Stevenson families....
---------------------------------------------

March 14, 2017

Dear Stevenson families,

Over the past few weeks, we have noticed a foul smell in the hallways after the students come in from recess and lunch. We are asking that all families please wash ALL outdoor clothing, including scarves, mitts and hats. Please also rinse off the bottom of boots. Students are asked to watch out for dog feces in the playground, as this is possibly where the smell may be coming from. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you so much.

Hi! Stevenson School will be having a fundraiser for people who are battling cancer. We will be selling snacks during Triad Conferences (Mar. 16) and Spirit Week (Mar. 20-24). All funds will be used to help people battling cancer. We hope you will be able to support this worthy cause.

From Students of Stevenson

The Grocery Store

Our Star of the Week did a great job sharing his poster with us today!

We opened a new dramatic play centre today.... The Grocery Store!!  We also did some activities associated with grocery shopping. We learned about sections in the grocery store, about categories (ie. apples and bananas are fruits, and potatoes and carrots are vegetables), making shopping lists, paying for groceries (will that be cash, debit, or credit?), labelling items in the store, using new vocabulary, using manners while shopping, taking turns, and so much more!!! 
   Children were invited to bring in (empty) food containers from home to add to our store. (Please ensure they are clean and dry)
            

Brush your teeth!!

We had a visit today from a dental educator from Kids Dental clinic. (click on link for more info). She had a presentation for us about taking care of our teeth, and she taught us how to correctly brush our teeth.

Making music!

Today we did a shared writing activity and wrote a chart story all about our Star of the Week. The students are doing a great job helping Mrs. Grant spell some of the common words, and they are becoming quite the detectives finding words in the story after we have finished writing it!  Our Star did a great job sharing her poster on Monday!

The class got a chance to play some instruments in music class today.

SHARING TIME

Colour experiment

We did a colour experiment today. We put some water and food colouring in each of 3 jars... 1 primary colour per jar. Then we put an empty jar in between each primary colour jar. We added a strip of paper towel that went into each connecting jar.... and we were amazed at what happened! .....some of the primary colours went into the empty jars, and the colours got mixed - to make secondary colours! It is like the coloured water just crawled up the paper towel and went in to the empty jars!

Sorting different colours of paper... different shades and tints

New sharing schedule went home today! Please keep it in a safe place for future reference.

A note from your child....
Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately to play outside at recess. Touques and mittens are still a must!  Check the weather forecast in the morning, and don't forget about the windchill!
Please be sure your child has extra socks and pants at school, too.
