  Hello Lincoln Families, If you haven't signed up for a conference, please click this link:  Student-Led Conferences . Wow! Thank you so much for supporting your child with their home reading. Our class has been busy finishing books and writing summaries, which has led to lots of great conversations and celebrations. I'm excited to share that many students earned yards/touchdowns this week for their hard work! Thank you to the families who have kindly donated snacks for our classroom. Your generosity is greatly appreciated! We are going through them quickly. In the past, when students didn't have a snack, the office would provide one for them.

Currently, I have a pack of 60 small bags of pretzels. We should be fine for a bit. If you can donate in the future, that would be helpful. Quick grab-and-go snacks, such as pretz...

  Hello Lincoln Families, If you haven't signed up for a conference, please click this link:  Student-Led Conferences . Please encourage your child to complete their nightly reading for at least 20 minutes. We will continue to practice this routine through September. In addition, students are learning how to write a summary "gist" of who and what is most important from what they read. This will include the title, author, main idea, theme, capitals, and punctuation. This is an essential standard on the report card for 4th grade and a very important one! :) This can be done in school and at home on the front of the bookmark, depending on when the student finishes the book. By the end of the school year, most students will have mastered this standard because of all the practice. That's why doing the "home reading" along with in-school reading is imperative. Starting the week of September 29th, if the reading is not completed, along with the summary, the time wi...
