Spotlight on 2nd Grade - Miss Golbek's Class

Miss Golbek's class enjoyed being creative with their turkey in disguise projects before Thanksgiving.  After reading the book Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano, they learned that Mr. Turkey did not want to be eaten for Thanksgiving dinner! The students dressed up their turkeys in creative disguises. Some of these disguises included a snowman, a bride, a pirate, a football player, a cheerleader, a cowgirl, a dragon, and many more. They also got to write a letter explaining that they were not a turkey and should not be mistaken for one. Room 31 had a lot of fun presenting these turkeys in front of the class as they read their letters and showed off their disguised turkeys. There are 24 very creative students in Miss Golbek's classroom!

Spotlight on 3rd Grade - Mrs. Clifton's Class

Mrs. Clifton's students just finished presenting their three paragraph research reports on a planet in our Solar System.  They also created a display board convincing their classmates to travel to the best planet in our solar system.  Their oral presentations and research and opinion paragraphs formulated an overall grade.  They are very proud of their work and were happy to show it off representing Lincoln Eagles that SOAR!
