Lincoln Elementary School Newsletter - September 2015

Lincoln Elementary School

Fundraising Opportunities

Thank you for your generosity over the years with our school fundraising efforts!  The money raised during these events helps pay for school supplies, field trips, technology, trophies, and other items.  Lincoln’s annual Jog-a-thon will take place on Friday, October 30th.  As some of you know, I enjoy running, and I can’t think of a better fundraiser than one that helps promote a healthy lifestyle.  More information coming soon!  I can’t wait!!!

This year we will also continue our Box Tops and S.H.A.R.E.S. Card programs. Throughout the year we participate in the General Mills Box Tops for Education Program. Box tops are worth at least ten cents each and sometimes more.  If you purchase items with the Box Tops logo, please cut them out and send them to Lincoln.  

We will also continue the S.H.A.R.E.S. program, which is a card you use at any Save Mart store, as well as at Food Maxx.  If you, a friend, neighbor, or relative would like a card, please let us know and we will provide one for you.  

2nd Grade Spotlight – Ms. Warkentin's Class

The year is off to a phenomenal start in room 15! The first couple of weeks in school we have started a unit on grapes. During this unit students are going to learn about the order and sequence in which grapes grow on the vine and how they then get to our kitchen table. The students enjoyed weighing and graphing the weight of the grapes the first day. In the coming weeks we are going to be learning about consumers and producers. This will take us on an exciting trip to our local grocery store where students will get to experience first-hand how food enters the store and gets put onto the shelves. The students are looking forward to the rest of the year and all of the fun activities!

3rd Grade Spotlight – Mrs. Matic’s Class

The students in Room 1 are jumping for joy to be back in school at Lincoln. They are so excited to be in Mrs. Matic’s 3rd grade class, and are anxious to “soar” as eagles do. It’s only been a week, but they have shown what true champions they are by already completing assessments on Place Value and Main Idea/Details with almost 100% of the students passing with outstanding scores. Way to go Lincoln Eagles, and WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!
