  Hello Lincoln Families, This year is quickly coming to a close! Just a quick update about the packing situation in the classroom. Teachers need to pack up and move materials to prepare for the renovations. In addition, I've been called to Jury Duty the last week of school. As a result, I plan to be packed up by next Friday, June 2nd. Thank you for your understanding!  Important Dates: Late Starts:  Every Wednesday in May! NO SCHOOL Memorial Day: 5/29 Kiwanis Park: 5/30 (Leave at 1:00 for park and stay until about 3:00) Lincoln Field Day: 6/5 Last Day of School: 6/9 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 poetry. Ask your child what new poems we have read!  * (Continuous) 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

  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.

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!

  Hello Lincoln Families, We had a fantastic ending to a great week! Our girls and boys' relay race at Lincoln was comprised of students from our classroom and both heats won! It was so exciting to observe the dedication and energy all of them put into the race. Thank you to all the parents who came and helped with this wonderful SJPS tradition! Also, an extra thank you to Mrs. Pantelleria who not only pulled the water wagon for our students but helped us celebrate our day by getting pizza for our class. Many students said it was the best day ever!  I would also like to thank the students and families for all the beautiful notes, gifts, and recess duty that was covered by Mrs. Crayton!

Just a reminder NWEA testing begins this Tuesday morning. If you can make appointments around the morning for this week, it w
