Principal's Corner
Welcome Back!!
We are off to a very busy start here at Steeby. NWEA winter testing has begun. This week your child took the NWEA Reading assessment and next week they will take the NWEA Math assessment. The results of those tests are used to determine what your child needs to be successful in reading and math.
Winter is here and we need to make sure our students are bundled up for their 30 minute recess each day. We are still noticing many students not coming to school with coats, hats, gloves, boots, and/or snow pants. Please remind your child the importance of wearing these items outside during recess. If you’re unable to provide your child with these items, please contact the office and we can try to help you get what you need for your child.
Your partner in education,
Ms. Christina Johnson

A Note From Music Class
Happy New Year from the Music Room-
In December, both second and third grades sang songs for Hannukah and Christmas. Third graders also started learning songs for their music program coming up on Thursday, March 26. Please put the date on your calendar.

Physical Education Fun
Coming back from break we are getting right into it with a floor hockey unit. We will start with skill building. Working on dribbling, passing, shooting, goalkeeping with drills and lead up games. We play a lot of lead up games to help use the skills in a game like setting before playing an actual floor hockey game. Floor hockey is one of my favorite sports to teach so I always enjoy this unit!
Please remember to bring gym shoes on gym days. Winter can be a tough time when we have 3-5 students changing shoes before class even begins.
Our students of the month for December were:
2nd grade-Aspyn Mulder and Brayden Miner
3rd grade-Izzy Luke and Tyler Lester.
