                                   touchdown

For Back to School Night on Monday, we are trying to make it more interactive! We will show you how to access everything on your child's school device and will explain the daily expectations. Due to limited space, please leave your children at home if possible. Here are the Slides if you would like to take a look in advance. There are signups for conferences and class parties. Information about joining Safety Patrol is located at the end of the Slides.

Since we are wrapping up NWEA reading and math, the kids will be starting to work on their conference slides. They will put a lot of time and work into these slides so that they feel prepared to lead their conferences with you in October. I think you will be so impressed with their knowledge and goal setting! Here is a preview of the blank slides.

In reading, we are still working on finding good-fit books. Most kids are doing a great job of bringing their books back and forth every day. There have been many touchdowns already!! Thanks for your help and support! 

Our first math unit on factors and multiples will begin this week. We will be spending lots of time reviewing & practicing multiplication facts during our BEAR math time too. We are starting science this week too! Our first unit is called Human Machine. 

Snack Donations: If anyone would like to send in extra snacks, I will keep a collection for those who forget. With a 1:00 lunchtime, this would be so helpful. Thank you!

This Week:

Monday - Art & Back to School Night 6:45-7:30

  • students should be reading their good fit book every night & bookmarks should be initialed/signed 
  • planners should be checked and can be signed every night to keep our communication strong
  • please make sure your child has headphones/earbuds if possible(I have extras and will assign them to specific kids)

                                                         Conferences are this week! Please click  here  to check your day & time. The kids have been working hard to complete their slides to present at the conferences. Due to the short time we have together & the length of the slides, I will most likely have you finish up your conference with your child in the hallway after our time is up. Last year the kids could finish at home, but with the Chromebooks staying here, that gets a little tricky. I will set up a desk with some chairs. Thanks for understanding! Laps for Lincoln kicked off this week! Our PTO generously donated shirts and has been busy counting all the donations. We are hopeful for another great turnout this year! Thank you! Hope to see you  at the big event  on Friday from 5:00-7:00!! We are wrapping up o...

                                                         This week begins the student council stuff-a-truck food donation collection.  Students are encouraged to bring any non-perishable food items to school each day. For a friendly competition, there will be a pizza party for the lower & upper el classes with the most donations. Thanks for your help in supporting our community! The Winn Dixie movie reward was a huge success! During the movie, kids were naturally comparing the movie to the book. It was fantastic to hear that the book was better and had more details! We enjoyed popcorn, pickles, Dump punch, and root beer & strawberry candy. Thanks to those who sent in items & thanks to Maggie for making & serving the punch! Since Friday is a half day and the end of the 1st trimester, we will have a read-in to celebrate all o...
