🌎 International Night was a huge success! Thank you to all who participated, whether it be sharing about a place with your student or learning about them. It is wonderful to see all families getting together to share, learn, and spread joy and pride among our school community!
🦁 A note has come home about Lincoln apparel on a blue paper. If you would like to order Lincoln clothing, please visit the online store at https://stores.teamelitesports.com/lincoln_elementary/shop/home
The time for ordering items will end on March 25th and items will arrive to students on April 10th.
😴 You will see your child's rest blanket/towel coming home with them. Please wash and return your child's blanket after spring break. Thank you!
😷 Please remember, if your child is not feeling well, keep them home until they are 100%. This helps ensure your child is ready to come back and will not get sick quickly after their return and it will not spread to other students. Please also remind your child to cover their cough and sneeze, and to wash hands after said actions as well as before eating and after playing outside or going to the bathroom. Thank you for helping to remind and encourage healthy habits!
🦁 We have also reached our next whole school paw ticket goal and will be celebrating the Friday after spring break: Friday, March 27th with a whole school assembly and karaoke celebration. Go Lions!
🍎 Upon arrival from break, we would love a few more snack options. We currently have skinny pop (popcorn) and veggie straws. All district approved healthy snack choices are welcome! Some options include, but are not limited to: graham crackers, pretzels, goldfish, and granola. Thank you for helping us have healthy and tasty snacks!
📚 We have worked on cause and effect this week in reading. What a great time of year to discuss cause and effect! We were able to look outside and use the natural elements and events to help us understand the concept and begin to create or explain our own cause and effect. Over spring break, you can continue this discussion by helping your student identify various cause and effect matters occurring around them.
🔢 Our math study of place value is coming to an end, however, it is a topic we will continue to look at throughout this year and the years to come! We are becoming more confident in our identification of numbers when they are written, spoken, and expanded out! Your child can continue this work at home by reading and putting together numbers, writing numbers and equations to make new numbers, and identifying the different values within a number (27 is two groups of ten and seven ones).
🖊 We have been working on and off with our How To writing unit as we spent some time on social studies. Many of us are nearing the end of a solid How To story! Over break, ask your child about their story and prompt them to walk you through their list of things you need and each step. We have been acting out these stories to help us get a better understanding of what we are informing our reader to do and what we might be missing. This is a fun and rather hilarious method of checking our writing!
😊 I hope you all enjoy spring break! The weather should be nice for outside play and exploration, and much more time to spend with family and friends. If you are traveling, I wish you a safe and fun journey! For all, I wish a healthy and happy return to school on Monday, March 23rd!
