This Cycle

Our language arts strategy focused on sequencing as we read “The Life Cycle of a Frog”.  We talked about the stages in a frog’s life by using signal words like, first, next, and last.  In writing we have been working on pattern books. These have similar sentences on each page with a surprise ending.

In math and social studies we are practicing position words like over, under, between, below, above, in, out, etc.. In social studies we are also learning about maps and how we can be in our classroom, in our school, in our community, in our state and in our country all at the same time!! In science we are learning about how machines help us do work.

Gingerbread Houses

We will be decorating our gingerbread houses on Wednesday, December 11^th from about 9:45- 10:45 am.  We still need help gluing the houses together and decorating them. Please email me if you can help!

Ice Skating

Thanks to our PTO, our Lincoln School students will be able to ice skate for free at the Howard Ice Arena on Tuesday, December 17th.

Our students will walk with their buddies and teachers to and from the ice rink.

The ice-skating and skate rental is FREE for our students and any parents that can come and help.  The more adults we can have helping students with skates, the better! Students are encouraged to bring their own ice skates.  The number of skates per size is limited.  If your child has their own skates, label with their name and allow them to bring them that day.  Skates brought to and/or from school on the bus must be in a duffle bag or a brown paper bag.  Safety/protective helmets are also encouraged & welcomed.  This is our schedule for skating that day: 

We will leave Lincoln at 1:45 pm. We will skate from 2:00- 2:30 pm and return to Lincoln around 2:45 pm.

Christmas Trees

Please remember to turn in your decorated Christmas trees! They will look wonderful in our hallway! Stop by and see how creative all of our families are!

Holiday Party

Our party will be on Friday, December 20th  at 10:30am- 12:00pm. The parent in charge will be in contact with the volunteers soon! There is NOT going to be a gift exchange for the students.
