11. See if there are pennies, nickels, and dimes in your parent(s) coin purses.  Tally the number of each.  Can you remember how to make a graph? 
12. Keep a journal of what you do during the summer.  Write in it at least 2 times each week. 
13. Write the alphabet three times this summer in your best “first grade” handwriting.

As we approach the end of the school year and beginning of summer vacation, it important to start thinking about how to keep our students using the skills that they have gained during the school year and while continuing to prepare for second grade.  Listed below are a few ideas that might help:

1. Read together daily.  Establishing a routine of reading after bath time, after dinner, or before bed will help make reading into a routine that everyone will want to keep in place.
2. Write a few sentences about any special trips or events that happen over the break.  You wouldn’t want to turn every outing into a journal entry but making a point of writing once or twice each week will help your child keep their skills sharp. 
3. Writing letters to family members who live out of town or having your child help write the invitations to a summer picnic could a fun way for them to feel involved in the planning of special events with friends and family.
4. Practice counting the money needed when getting ice cream or going to the movies.  Have your child use the clock to tell how much longer it will be until dinner is ready.  Have them help measure ingredients in the kitchen when preparing meals.

Including some reading, writing, and math into summer vacation will keep children on their toes and prepared for school in the fall, but it’s most importantly a time for everyone to relax and enjoy the season.  Have a great summer!

Thank you,
First Grade Teachers

Third Grade News –

The OAT assessments have been completed, but that doesn't mean we are finished learning at Lincoln.

Mrs. Wagonfield's little mathematicians will stay quite busy as we finish this school year. The study of Measurement and Probability head the curriculum for the remainder of the fourth quarter. Linear measure will include the use of the Metric System. Capacity will be the topic as liquid measure is the focus. Finally the students will study Probability. Such capable third graders we have! This all sounds very impressive.

Mrs. Albert also has a full schedule for science and social studies. Science will include the study of Graphs. The ability to read and create various types of graphs is a useful skill to develope. A Graph gives us a picture of a great deal of information in a form that is simple to understand.The third graders will also be revisiting Life Science as a part of the fourth quarter curriculum. The students will be examining life in Early America as a focus in social studies. It sounds as if everyone will be quite occupied in Mrs.Albert's classes learning and enjoying themselves.

Mrs. Kowalk is bringing this year to a close with many interesting and productive activities. The children will become immersed in Poetry as they participate in an author study of Jack Prelutsky. The students will become poets as they write original poetry of various types. As a culmination to this especially enjoyable and fruitful year, the students will write to classmates using a "Buddy Journal." There are some teachers who have the knack of making learning a pleasant experience and Mrs. Kowalk is one of those special teachers.

Mrs. Blum's third graders plan to continue working on the completion of the third grade language arts curriculum in reading, grammar, spelling and writing. Preparing for the fourth grade has been our central focus and will remain so until this school year is completed. Since the students have finished the OAT assessments, Mrs. Blum views the remainder of the year as a time to incorporate a tiny bit of the "Liberal Arts." For enrichment, enhancement, and most of all pleasure the children will be learning some basic Italian. We may write some items down to help us remember, but there will be no grades. Perhaps your child can pass on some of his/her new found knowledge to those at home.

Thank you to all of the students and parents for another successful year at Lincoln.

Fifth Grade News-

Mrs. Gibson's Language Arts (5A and 5B)
Mrs. Gibson’s Language Arts classes have read the stories The Big Storm, Catching Up with Lewis and Clark, The Riddle, and Life in Flatland. Soon we will read Tonweya and the Eagles, Breaker’s Bridge, and Cleaning Up America’s Air.  We have worked on skills, such as, using context clues to figure out the meaning of unknown words, distinguishing between important and unimportant information, comparing and contrasting, author’s purpose, point of view, drawing conclusions, root words, prefixes, and suffixes.  In grammar we are reviewing pronouns.  We recently began working on a persuasive essay.  They will argue for change at Lincoln School.  A few of the topics that were chosen were no homework, pop and snack machines for students, and longer recess.  We will also do informal writing such as, poems, journals, and notes.  Students will be expected to earn 15 AR points this quarter.  Each student who meets his/her goal will receive a high five token for his/her necklace.  If everyone meets their goal, we will have a pizza party for the entire class. 

Mrs. Isaac’s Math (5C)
The fifth graders are celebrating their OAT efforts this month.  They will be rewarded for the five tests that they took during the last two weeks of April.  This month the 5th graders will be learning more about probability. They will be exploring probability through games that they play in class.  It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over.  We plan to make the most of the last days of school.

Mrs. Noga’s Math (5B)
We will be doing a fun project during May.

Mrs. Gross’s and Mrs. Noga’s Science and Social Studies (5A, B, C)
5C will be working on their group Science Fair projects during the month of May.  We will be reviewing the scientific method and scientific processes throughout the month.  It will be an exciting time for learning!    In Social Studies, we will continue working on our History Alive! units.

Physical Education –

Computer lab-

It is hard to believe that the school year is almost over. I think your children have enjoyed our new Fast Math program this year. It is good to see them challenging themselves to try to beat their level. Ask your child how they are doing with their math facts in the Fast Math program.
We now have a second lab at Lincoln. It is a wireless laptop lab. With the new lab all classes are getting to spend more time in the lab working in the various programs.
