Reading:   Using the data from the Fountas & Pinnell reading assessments, NWEA, and conferring conferences, I am working on what reading strategies and goals each student needs. These strategies are intended to be added to their "reading tool kit". We will be wrapping up Winn Dixie, by Kate DiCamillo soon!  These mini-lessons are used as a  focus for many reading strategies. It's possible to use more than one reading strategy at a time. These strategies cover comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expanding vocabulary. Students presented their reading goals at their student-led conferences. 

Writing:  Lessons will focus on how to write personal narratives over the next few weeks. 

Math: Unit 2:  Students generate and reason about equivalent fractions and compare and order fractions with the following denominators: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Snacks in the Classroom

Please make sure that everyday snacks are quick and easy for your child to handle. For example please no yogurt, pudding, uncut fruit, or messy items for everyday snacks. This avoids spilling on our school devices, furniture, etc. These snacks work better in the lunchroom. Thank you for your understanding. 

Birthdays

We love to celebrate birthdays! For students who would like to celebrate their birthdays in our class please bring in non-food items for example instead of cupcakes maybe pencils. Sometimes parents put together little gift bags. These are just ideas. There is no obligation to send anything!

  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

  Hello Lincoln Families! This last week was about celebrating the success of each student’s individual learning goals, especially in the areas of math, reading, and writing! Our class began their 4th-grade journey by setting their individual learning goals and communicating them at their student-led conferences. Since then, they all have been working by practicing at school, and at home. It seemed only fitting that we celebrate with the movie, Because of Winn Dixie and a Read-In! It was a fabulous way to recognize the hard work of all of our students. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the party to help make our class celebrations a success!   Chrome book reminder: This is a friendly reminder that if your child is taking home a CB then it needs to be charged and brought back to school the next day. We are starting to have some issues with CB not coming back to school and not being charged while at home for school. We use the CB right away every day. There are no extra ch

  Hello Lincoln Families, A permission slip for your child to attend the health program at Lincoln was sent home last week.   The form is due by Monday. We want you to know that the 4th/5th-grade content is together on this form. The 4th-grade program does not cover HIV/Aids. There is also an error on the form, and the program is in the morning, not the afternoon. If you do not want your child to attend, there will be a place for him/her to go during the program. The presentation slides can be viewed ahead of time in the office, and they will address any questions. Thank you! Report cards will go home this week! This is an opportunity to continue the discussion with your child from the student-led conference. Make sure your child returns the signed envelope to earn "yards" toward a touchdown!  Important Dates Late Starts:  3/8, 3/15, 3/29, 4/5 Talent Show: 3/9 at 2:00 Author Visit: 3/10 Annual Planetarium Visit at M.S.: 3/14 Health Presentation: 3/15 No School: 3/17 Spring Br
