Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Today, the grade 1's in room 14 & 16 celebrated Chinese New Year!  We went on a parade dressed in red, carrying lanterns and dragons - all symbols of good luck.  We even brought a broom to sweep the bad luck out from last year!  Now, each classroom can welcome in good luck.  A few students even played musical instruments.  We had a lot of fun!  Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Dance-a-thon

 Here we are getting ready to perform our dance!

 We were treated to Zumba lessons!  It was a lot of fun!

Room 16 is taking a break after a long afternoon of dancing!

Well done Stevenson!  We raised over $9 000 for Heart and Stroke!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Today we had a group of students perform a reader's theatre play, "The Three Billy Goats Gruff."  They did a fabulous job!  All of the performers worked hard on using fluency and expression.  After the play, we were sure to shower them in compliments, as well as, give them a few "helpful hints" so that they can set goals for their next performance.  Well done!

Dance-a-thon here we come!

The kindergarten's and grade 1 students have been working hard all week on their dance for the dance-a-thon.  On Thursday and Friday this week, we met as a large group, and put the "puzzle pieces" of our dance together.  We are working hard because we want to knock your socks off!

We've got the moves!

Who's go the moves?  Room 16's got the moves!  We were tearing up the dance floor at lunch today learning a hip hop inspired dance routine.  We had a lot of fun and we are looking forward to our dance-a-thon on Jan. 29!

Mitten Math

Over the last few days, we have been using mittens to learn about symmetry, patterns, and measurement.  In the above pictures, we are using our mittens to measure the length and height of objects. We had a lot of fun working together and learning together!

Who's Ready To Dance?

Students at Stevenson were treated this week to a performance by Lincoln Middle School Dance troupe.   Stevenson School will be participating in a Dance 4 U dance-a-thin fundraiser in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  There will be fabulous dances to be learned, and fantastic prizes to be won!  Our goal is to raise a minimum of $1000!  Go Stevenson go!!

Welcome back!

Welcome back!  It was a cold start back to school today, but the classroom quickly warmed up with all of the smiling faces that entered the room this morning.  Students were very happy to see their friends, and to share the wonderful experiences they had over the winter break.

Today as a class, we discussed new expectations and how we were going to achieve them.  We are looking forward to a fun filled, action packed term of learning!
