Hello Lincoln Families,
Trimester two report cards go home this week. Please sign the envelope, keep the report card and send back the envelope so your child can receive yards! If your child receives a 1 or 2 in any area, practice for those goals will continue in the classroom and in some cases at home as we discussed at conferences or commented on the report card. Also, just a reminder, if you did not have a spring student-led conference, I encourage you to meet with your child to go over their presentation goal slides. All students have done them and are ready to present!
There have been a few situations this last week that have occurred in regards to peanut products being brought into the classroom. As a friendly reminder, our classroom is a peanut-sensitive room. It is important that there is strict avoidance of this food in order to prevent a life-threatening allergic reaction.
We ask for your help to provide a safe school environment for peanut-sensitive students. Any exposure to peanuts may cause a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires emergency medical treatment.
To help reduce this from happening, we ask that no student brings any products containing peanuts/ may contain peanuts/ or produced on shared equipment that also processes peanuts into the classroom.
In addition, please provide snacks that are unopened with ingredients listed on the back of the package. Many students are bringing clear plastic bags with opened food in them, which leaves room for unsafe snacks to enter the classroom without knowing what is in the food. SNACKS MUST HAVE A LABEL. NO CLEAR BAGGIES.
If a student does bring unsafe food products into the classroom, they will be asked to place them back into their backpacks to return home.
Please click on this peanut-sensitive safe foods list link. We appreciate your support with these procedures.
We have swimming this Wednesday, March 9th. We will leave promptly at 9:35. Please be on time. Thanks! The April/Wednesday dates have changed they are listed below. Remember your child will need a swimsuit, towel, plastic bag (for wet swimsuit and towel), and swim cap (if they want one). Please put your child’s name on all of these items, so lost items can be returned.
Have a great week!

This Week's Academic Focus
Reading: Students all have a new individual reading goal that has been recorded in their "reader's notebooks". We will continue meeting weekly in small groups and individual reading conferences. These strategies are intended to be added to their "reading tool kit". The mini-lessons over the next few weeks will be to focus on text structures. For example, compare/contrast, cause/effect, time/order/sequence, description in certain fiction and non-fiction text.
Writing: Students are finishing their final drafts in persuasive writing this week. We are wrapping up this writing goal. Our next writing goal will focus on informational writing which will be connected with social studies.
