Charlton Park

This Friday our 3rd graders will be traveling to the Historic Charlton Park located in Hastings, Michigan. This trip will show students what it was like to live in a typical 19th century community in Michigan.  We will depart Lincoln Elementary at 8:45 A.M. We will return to school before our regular school day dismissal.  Students will need to bring a sack lunch in a disposable container (plastic bag, paper bag, etc.) for this day or may order a sack lunch from the lunch room – no glass bottles please.  No money is needed, as there is no gift shop available to students. This trip is free for students!

We will be taking lots of pictures and will share them with everyone, so no cameras please. Students may also bring one entertainment item for the trip such as:  reading material, an electronic device, such as a ipod with earbuds, or a DS or video game.  Encourage your child to be selective about what he/she brings, as personal belongings are their responsibility.

3rd Grade Swimming

Please return the swimming permission slip as soon as possible.  Your child will need this slip signed in order to participate.

Multiplication Ice Cream Quizzes

This week we will start another multiplication quiz challenge for learning Multiplication facts.  Students will earn ice cream scoops, and toppings as they pass quizzes for each level of facts. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication 0-10.  IXL, flashcards, and XtraMath (a new program we are using)  are good tools to practice facts. Students need to be fluent in these facts by the end of the year.

Peek Testing

Testing will begin soon. Please plan appointments, etc. around our testing times. We will be doing some test review in our classrooms during the next few weeks, along with our regular curriculum.
