Poetry STAR students at Lincoln!
Congratulations are in order for Lincoln’s 2nd and 3rd grade poetry students that recently performed. Our 2nd grade students led by Mrs. Seaward and Mrs. Quattrin performed in Visalia at the annual Poetry and Prose event. All of the students did an awesome job! These students also performed at our recent student of the month assembly.
Our 3rd grade students, led by Mrs. Rosales and Mrs. Clifton, performed at Fresno State in the annual Peach Blossom Festival. All of our 3rd grade students did an exceptional job!
2nd Grade Spotlight – Mrs. Seaward’s Class
We learn through experiences! To culminate our Famous American unit of study, Mrs. Seaward’s 2nd grade and Ms. Gonzales’ 4th grade classrooms had a Helen Keller Day. The 2nd graders became Helen Keller and were blindfolded for one hour. They were guided through a variety of experiences by their 4th grade Anne Sullivan's. There was NO TALKING from anyone. The Anne Sullivan teachers had their Helen Keller's touch things and they spelled words into their hands. They also taught the 2nd grade Helen Keller's to string beads and sewing cards without one word spoken. Everything was taught by touching. Everyone agreed Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan persevered and achieved great things during their lives.
3rd Grade Spotlight – Mrs. McPherson’s Class
Students in room 2 have been extremely busy. They have been reading stories and learning about early pioneer life. Most are very thankful that we have all the conveniences of modern day as they learned about the hardships of the early settlers. Students are in the process of writing fictional narratives about this time period. Their stories have been very creative. I see a lot of budding authors in this group. In math we have been working on area, perimeter, and are beginning to study fractions. Recently, students took their benchmark assessments on the Chromebooks. They did a great job utilizing all the computer skills they have been exposed to this year. Two highlights recently were a visit from the Discovery Center. Students took part in science experiments about matter. In addition, all third grade students visited the Pena Planetarium in Visalia to reinforce our study of space. Keep up the hard work room 2! Currently, we are focusing on government. We will soon be writing our opinion papers, “Who was a better President: Washington or Lincoln?” We are excited to learn about government with the current election going on!
