  Important Dates School Resumes: 3/27 Late Starts:   3/29, 4/5, 4/19, 4/26 No Late Start: 4/12 Academic Agenda Reading :   The new learning focus will be text structures, including time order, compare and contrast, & cause and effect in a text.  Using the data from the Fountas & Pinnell reading assessments, NWEA, and conferring conferences, we are working on what reading strategies and goals each student needs. These strategies are intended to be added to their "reading tool kit". 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. Writing :  Students are practicing revising strategies including using "million dollar" words, & "FANBOYS"  in their creative writing.

  Hello Lincoln Families, Report cards went 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!  The annual Planetarium visit will be tomorrow instead of Tuesday. We will leave right after our morning special. This change shouldn't impact anything but wanted you to know. Thanks! Have a fantastic Spring Break!

  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!
