Hello Lincoln Families,

Sarett Field Trip: We will be going to Sarett on Friday from 12:30-2:00. Parents are welcome to meet us there. We will be hiking through different habitats, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. There is a $3 adult entrance fee that can be paid at Sarett.  Thank you! 

Penny War: Student Council is raising money for the Curious Kids Museum and Meals on Wheels. In an effort to get the whole school involved, we are having a penny war competition. Starting Monday kids are encouraged to bring in pennies for the next three weeks. They will turn them into milk containers during lunch. Dollars are welcome too! All silver coins can be used to deduct points by placing them in an opposing grade level's container. The grade level with the most points at the end of the 3rd week, will get to choose their reward, and all money donated will go to two great causes!

In the classroom: I encourage you to have your child present to you their historical event slides. The slides have notes from their research and text features of the event. These can be found in their Google Drive. The 5 paragraph essays are finished and will be sent home sometime in April.

Reading: Our reading strategy focus will be looking for the main idea of non-fiction and fiction passages and books using EBLI strategies. I am 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. What is EBLI?

Math:  Unit 6: Students multiply and divide multi-digit whole numbers using partial products and partial quotients strategies, and apply this understanding to solve multi-step problems using the four operations. Students will be taking the unit test this week!

Unit 7: Angles and Angle Measurement: Students learn to draw and identify points, rays, segments, angles, and lines, including parallel and perpendicular lines. Students also learn how to use a protractor to measure angles draw angles of given measurements, and identify acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles in two-dimensional figures.

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 daily snacks, including sandwiches. This avoids spilling on school devices, furniture, new carpet, etc. These food items work better in the lunchroom. Because the 4th grade has a fast-paced curriculum, snack time is a quick break, not a meal. Thank you for your understanding. 

Birthdays

We love to celebrate birthdays! For students who would like to celebrate 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!
