  Hi families!  I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Report Cards : Report cards and fall NWEA scores will be sent home on Monday, November 27th. It's important to keep in mind a couple of things. First, if your child is not a "3" the goal is to get there by the end of 4th grade. Students develop at their own pace. Second, students will continue to get individualized and group intervention in the areas below a "3" which is considered at grade level. Also, in math, and reading, there are ways to practice at home, which is probably necessary if the practice at school is not enough to master these goals. Students who are struggling with fractions need multiplication and division fluency. Please consider helping your child practice these facts to memory. In reading it's equally important for your child to read consistently a  book that is not too easy or too hard at his/her interest level. The research supports that if this happens at school and home, a...

Hi families!  Thank you so much to everyone who sent in items and volunteered your time for our Halloween Party. The kids had a great time, and we all appreciated your help!  Oklahoma:  Please note that we are leaving Lincoln at 8:30 on Tuesday morning for a preview of the high school musical, Oklahoma. Students need to be here on time to make it on the bus. Thank you for your help with this!  Just a reminder that this time we can start to have colder weather. As a result,  students will be asked to wear winter gear. If they make another choice, no phone calls will be made home for dry clothes, shoes, etc.  Math: Last week, we worked on Lessons 10-13 in Unit 3. This week, we will be doing Lessons 14- 18.  Extra practice at home using the IXL textbook will be helpful to reinforce these essential standards, especially for those who are having a hard time.  This Week:  Monday: PE Tuesday: Art, Oklahoma Musical at the high school (leaving at 8:30...
