Lincoln Elementary School - October 2015 Newsletter

Annual Jog-a-thon!!!

Our annual Jog-a-Thon is almost here.  We are all very excited about this fun event that promotes exercise and helps the school as well! Students will be getting fit and having fun practicing jogging at school over the next month. Round and round the playground they will go during break and P.E. periods with their teachers, gearing up for the big event. This very worthy fundraiser, which will take place on October 30th, will be used for the following types of items: field trips, assemblies, trophies, extra supplies, play equipment, technology, and other important items for our students. Thank you for your help in advance of the Jog-a-thon in donating prizes to reward and motivate all the students.  We accept prize donations all the way up to October 30th; thank you for your generosity! We accept business donations, too, so please contact our office for more information.

2nd Grade Spotlight – Mrs. Quattrin’s Class

Learning in the Garden

Mrs. Quattrin’s class is learning all about plants, soil, and insects in the garden. We are harvesting tomatoes and peppers, deadheading, and clearing some space for the fall garden. We had a great time painting and decorating the planter boxes, rocks, and stepping stones. We look forward to learning in the garden all year~the garden makes for a great classroom!


3rd Grade Spotlight – Mrs. Dignan’s Class

In Mrs. Dignan’s class, new constellations have appeared in our galaxy! Students in Room 22 have been learning about our solar system the past 3 weeks. This week, students created a new constellation using the shape of their body. Each student named their constellation, gave information about which season it would be seen in, and which hemisphere it could be seen from. Students enjoyed learning about moon phases, how the Earth rotates, making constellations, interesting planet facts, and so much more! Students also wrote three paragraph essays about a planet of their choice and a paragraph about their constellation.
