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.

Swimming Week May 13th - 17th

Test Prep/Homework Sheet

Please pay close attention to the letter that is being sent home tomorrow (Monday, April 15th)

that is attached to your child’s homework. We are starting to send home some additional homework to help students prepare for testing. We have also provided out testing times on the sheet as well.

Charlton Park

Just a reminder that we have our Field Trip to Charlton Park coming up on Friday, April 26th. Your child

will need to bring a sack lunch. We prefer to have you put it in a sack or plastic bag, so we can throw it

away when we are there. We will provide coolers for students to keep their lunch cold. We will be sending home a sheet for any student that would like to take a school sack lunch on this day. This would then be deducted out of their school lunch account.

3rd Grade Swimming

On Friday, Mr. Pfahler sent home information on 3rd Grade Swimming. We will be swimming the week of

May 13th through May 17th. Please read over the information sent home, and return the permission slip

to school as soon as possible. If we don’t have your child’s permission slip, then they can not begin swimming.

This is part of their grade for physical education, so they must participate unless they have a

doctors note. Make sure your child has a suit and a towel.

Peek Testing

Now that Spring Break is over, we will be getting into our testing season before we know it. We will not start

until the end of the month, but I wanted to share our times with you, so you can hopefully plan around these

for any appointments your child may have coming up. We will be doing some test review in our classrooms,

along with our regular curriculum
