  Hello Lincoln Families, Tomorrow is Field Day! Field Day will begin at 12:30 for the 4th grade and ends at 2:50. It is supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow. I encourage you to make sure your child has a water bottle and wears comfortable clothing for all physical activities. If your child could bring a beach towel or small blanket because we are eating outside. Lunch  will be hot dogs, chips, and fruit which is provided by PTO.  I was not called for jury duty tomorrow and am so glad I get to go! As we are wrapping up our school year, I would to take a moment to thank all of you for the support you have given to our classroom and me. It has been an outstanding year of growth in academic learning and social-emotional goals. Thank you for the many class donations, and volunteering! I couldn't feel more proud and privileged to have been a part of your child's 4th-grade journey. I hope all of you have a terrific summer! Important Dates: Lincoln Field Day: 6/5 Last Day of School

  Just a reminder Math NWEA testing begins this Tuesday morning. If you can make appointments around the morning for this week, it would be appreciated. In addition, since we are ending this trimester and school year I have a lot of assessing for the report cards. It's difficult to make up the work and test-taking in 4th grade. It can't be sent home as homework. The only time for me to work with students who miss school is at recess when I don't have recess duty. I understand there are certain circumstances when absences can not be avoided. Thank you for your continued support and consideration.  Important Dates: Late Starts:  Every Wednesday in May! NWEA Math Test Window: 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th (10-12:00) NO SCHOOL: 5/29 Kiwanis Park: 5/30 (Leave at 1:00 for park and stay until about 3:00) Academic Agenda Reading :   The new learning focus will be text structures, including time order, compare and contrast, & cause and effect in a text.  We have also been analyzing poe
