Mrs. Walters' 5th grade scientists exploring earth's spheres interactions in a picture walk!
Mrs. Loecker's 3rd graders read another interesting story called "The Overlanders" about a girl and her family traveling on the Oregon Trail back in 1853. In the story she keeps a diary to share with her friend who will be making the same journey soon with her family. We enjoyed getting to learn about the hardships these families faced and how excited they were to finally reach their destination. We ended the week with playing the classic computer game “The Oregon Trail”.
Mrs. Bertsch's and Mr. Bochman's classes finished the book, Because of Winn-Dixie and had celebrated with a book themed party and movie complete with pickles, Litmus Lozenges and guitar music (ok, it was a ukulele, but we used our imagination!)😁
Mrs. Krejci's second graders had a blast learning with Miss Avery. She is apart of the Educators Rising YHS Chapter. Miss Avery taught us the importance of being kind to our classmates and ourselves.
These hard working third graders in Mrs. Stacey's class completed a Winter Break Bingo game over Christmas break to earn hot chocolate! It was delicious!
What a thrilling day! Mrs. Davison's students earned a slime party for good behavior and hot chocolate for completing winter break bingo! Yummmm!
Happy National Rubber Duck Day! No matter how old you are, you are never too old for a dunk hunt. Teachers at Lincoln Elementary searched for over 100 mini ducks hidden throughout the school. Congratulations to our winners Mrs. Krejci and Mr. Bochman!
4th graders at Lincoln got a visit from Mrs. Smit as she handed out some special awards! Congratulations!
Mrs. Bertsch's class wants to thank our AMAZING Student Teacher, Miss Hofer for helping us learn and grow this semester!!
Happy Holidays from fourth grade at LincolnElementary! There was lots of holiday cheer to be found today!

Mrs. Krejci's second graders had so much fun during our classroom Christmas party. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers for planning such fun activities for us!
Mrs. Davison's class had fun on the first day back working at a team to create STEM snowflakes.
Fur coats for the 1920's. Mrs. Davison's class enjoyed learning about the Harlem Renaissance and exploring fur coats.
3rd graders in Mrs. Loecker's class are reading the story "The Harlem Renaissance" this week and enjoyed seeing their teacher in character as they read and discussed what it was like during this time in America. Thanks to Mrs. Davison for gathering up the 1920's gear!
Lincoln First Graders had a visit from Mayor Villanueva today! We have been learning about citizenship and spent some time learning and thinking about ways to be the best citizens possible. Mr. Villanueva inspired us to have a vision for Yankton's future!
The Lincoln Elementary 4th and 5th grade music classes put on an Outstanding Concert on Thursday evening. It was a great start to the Holiday season.
Lincoln Elementary started off the holiday break with Christmas Carols, a special performance from some 5th grade band students, a visit from Mrs. Claus. The final highlight was having our principal, Mrs. Smit read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
Band lessons this week were a little different for these fifth grade clarinet players at Lincoln Elementary. They chose to perform Christmas carols for the fourth grade classes during lunch.
