First week of April 💐

     March has come to and end and April is already bringing on the showers! Congratulations to Elli from our classroom, Ella from Mr. Ritter's classroom and Julian from Mr. Criswell's classroom for guessing the most correct outcomes in our March Madness Bracket! Each of these students will get to choose a book of their choice to keep as their own. It was fun to discuss the books with everyone and see the younger grades' interest in the event. I encourage you all to read any of the books that you have not yet had the chance to read! 🏀📚

                         

                           

     I have posted the FINAL spelling and vocabulary lists online! This is our very last week of Journey's textbook so study hard and finish strong! A spelling list is also coming home with each student along with weekly math and a new Scholastic book order. Don't forget to order any school spirit wear you might be wanting by Wednesday, April 4th (ending at midnight). All of the proceeds will go to our all school project Hearts for Haiti recycling center! 💗🌎 Here is the link: https://lincolnelementary2018.itemorder.com/sale

     April is sure to fly by, as we have several things to look forward to! During this first week, we start the week off with a performance by Opera of Iowa during an all school assembly. Monday evening at 6:50 pm I invite you all to join in congratulating our classmate Elli in receiving the Iowa City Community Leadership Award! The ceremony will be held at the beginning of the Iowa City City Council meeting, which begins at 7 pm. The meeting is also broadcast on your local TV station if you would like to watch but cannot make it out.

      As we work through the week, we will be finishing up our study of finding areas of various shapes, investigating living and nonliving items under the microscope lens, complete our novel study, and begin a new writing and social studies project.

     Lastly, Friday the 6th also provides a great chance to get out of the house and have some fun. Fifth grade will be hosting Taco Night in the gym from 5-7 pm. 🌮 There will be walking tacos with all the fixings for $5 each or $7 for two! The money raised from Taco Night will go towards funding School of the Wild field trips. Thanks 5th grade! Once you've grabbed your taco you can join Lego and Movie night from 6-7:45 pm. Its sure to be a fun night had by all!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 🦁
