YSD Lincoln Elementary School's "Spirit Week Dress up Days" for Homecoming Week!

🍩 DONUT YOU KNOW HOW PROUD I AM OF THESE KIDDOS?! 🍩
Today we celebrated our Donut Day! 🎉 Mrs.Benjamin's Third Graders have been working hard to show what it means to be Responsible, Respectful, Safe, and Active Listeners & Participants each day.
Donut Day was a special reward for all of the hard work, positive choices, following directions, teamwork, and great behavior they have been showing in our classroom! 💙
I am so proud of the effort they are putting into making our classroom a positive place to learn, grow, and have fun. These little rewards are extra sweet when they are earned through hard work and good choices! 🍩✨
Way to go, third graders! Keep making those GREAT choices! 🌟
It’s always a good day to be a Lincoln Leader! ❤️

Lincoln staff and students said goodbye to Miss Beth today on her last day as our school secretary! She will be missed, but we wish her the best on her new exciting adventure!! Thanks for all you have done for all of us over the years, Beth!!

Mrs. Roth's 5th graders wished Ms. Beth the best of luck on her new adventure! She will be missed, but we are happy she is finally a Jackrabbit!

Mrs. Bertsch's 4th grade Leaders were treated to a Popping up Popcorn Party today! Thanks, Ace Hardware!!

Last week Mrs. Roth's 5th graders were treated to a special birthday breakfast from Charlie's Pizza! Thank you to Mrs. Nooney for providing a delicious birthday treat.


Mrs. Walters' 5th grade scientists tested out the steps of the scientific method today in a gummy bear lab! The kids had a blast!









It was Pickle Party Day in Mrs. Loecker's 3rd grade class. As a reward for good behavior, students brought in a variety of different pickles (cucumbers, dill, bread & butter, sweet gherkins, and spicy). We even tasted homemade pickles and pickled asparagus and beets! We also enjoyed pickle-flavored chips, pretzels, and puffs. We wore green to celebrate the fun day, played "pickle"-ball, and figured out what our pickle-names would be. We now know our good behavior is kind of a big "dill"! 😊









Ms. Greene's "firsties" do so much at Morning Meeting. We have been working on learning names. We complete Calendar, share and have a great start to the day!


✨🔵 Happy International Dot Day! 🔵✨
Mrs. Neuhaus’s 1st graders at Lincoln Elementary celebrated International Dot Day by reading 'The Dot' by Peter H. Reynolds and creating their very own dot artwork! 🎨
The Dot is a fun story about creativity, courage, and believing in yourself. It reminds us that sometimes all it takes is making one little mark to get started. From there, our imaginations can take over! 💡✨
Our firsties put their own creative spin on their dots and showed that there are no wrong ways to be creative! We loved seeing all of their unique ideas and artwork. ❤️🎨

These fifth grade Lincoln leaders earned a popcorn party in Mrs. Walters' class! Way to go! Thank you to Kopetsky's Ace Hardware for supporting these hard working kiddos!

Mrs. Neuhaus’s 1st graders at Lincoln have been having a blast practicing their math skills through games! Learning is always more fun when you can play, laugh, and learn at the same time. These firsties are building their math confidence one game at a time! 💙📚







🍿✨ Popping Up Leaders! ✨🍿

Opinion Writing + OREOs = A Sweet Start!
Mrs.Benjamin's Third Graders kicked off our Opinion Writing Unit with a delicious OREO activity! They learned that just like an OREO has different layers, a strong opinion paragraph has important parts, too!
🍪 O – Opinion: State what you think!
🍪 R – Reasons: Give reasons to support your opinion.
🍪 E – Evidence/Examples: Explain your reasons with details and examples.
🍪 O – Opinion: Wrap it up by restating your opinion!
It’s always a good day to be a Lincoln Leader!








Science was so yummy today! Mrs. Krejci's second graders at Lincoln described and classified different kinds of crackers by their observable properties.
