 September 21-September 25 


Thank you for all your help making the last two weeks run so smoothly! The kids have been so awesome with wearing their masks. I am so excited for us to all be together tomorrow! A daily schedule will be given to kids this week. It will be kept in the home folders. A permission slip was also sent home to be signed. It will allow us to take mask breaks and walk around the Lincoln neighborhood. Here is a link for parents to access digital resources: https://sites.google.com/stjoebears.com/sjpspassport/home

4th Graders are able to help participate in safety patrol this year. Permission slips were given to those interested. Here is a message about it from Mrs. Abbott:

Safety Patrol Information:

Hello Parents & Students,

 

The 4th and 5th graders watched a video about our Safety Patrol program last week.

Due to the pandemic protocol and procedures, meeting with students outside of our cohorts

isn’t possible. So I’m relying on videos and emails for communication, which is making it a

little trickier to recruit students. Lincoln School is in desperate need of Safety Patrollers.

The program instills students with a sense of responsibility and leadership as they protect

classmates going to and from school each day. Please consider allowing your child to participate

in this program. The information below is an overview of what is expected. Your teacher

has permission slips that will need to be signed and turned into Mrs. Abbott before you can

begin, along with a tour of the Posts if you are a 4th grader. Thank you for your consideration.

 

There are three posts. 

 

Post 1: Bus post-Only bus riders work this post.

They will make sure students are safe. The duty ends

when the student has to get on the bus. 

 

Post 2: Is on Morton across from the church

 

Post 3: Is on Morton and Langley (down the sidewalk from Post 2).

Both posts 2 & 3 are accessed by the lane adjacent to the playground. 

 

If you are interested in allowing your child to participate, he/she would have to be

at the post by 8:30 am and walk-in when the bell rings. In the afternoon, Patrollers

start getting ready by 3:40 pm and are expected to stay until 4:05. Bus riders leave

when they get on the bus. Also, rain or shine patrollers need to be on post. If it rains I

have rain jackets from my back room. The only time you do not go to your post is when

the temperature is in the one digits. 


Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great week!!

  Welcome back! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing break with your families. The snow sure was amazing on Christmas and fun to play in throughout the week. We will be jumping right in where we left off! We are working on comparing and contrasting in reading groups, finishing up unit 3 on fractions in math, learning about political scientists or government in social studies, and learning how our bodies make us human machines in science. Please remember that every Monday the Positivity Project shirts should be worn and also remember snow gear(with a change of shoes) for recess. Kids will go outside twice a day, so they need to have appropriate clothing! Please let me know if you are in need of any snow pants, boots, hats, or gloves. Thanks and have a great week!!

     I can't believe that we will already be starting the 3rd trimester in a week. The kids have been working hard to correct any weak areas before their report cards go home the week of March 8th. Please check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 400s. If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 5th grade. Also, Lexia scores for 4th grade are 16-18. At this point, they should be close to or on level 18. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful. If kids need to replace the 20 minutes of reading at home with IXL or Lexia, I am ok with that. Another idea may be to work on the IXL or Lexia in the morning, especially on Wednesday late starts.        With the weather starting to warm up, kids may need to bring different clothing for recess. The morning recess tends to be colder and the ice was slippery this week. By the afternoon, they want to take their coats off and run around in t-shirts! I have asked the
