It was a fraction review day in Mrs. Loecker's 3rd grade! Students either played fraction bingo, played a fraction roll and cover game, or sorted pictures and matched them to fractions. There was also a write the room activity to find all 24 fraction images around the classroom and write what fraction each picture represented.
Fraction Joke:
Why was the fraction feeling incomplete?
It was missing its other half! 😂

Ms. Greene's "firsties" love an art project. So many smiles and space & time to be creative with watercolors!
Mr. Bochman and Ms. Greene's buddy classes created their own pieces of art inspired by Romero Britto. It was a tight fit but there were so many happy faces!
The Superbowl Party/Challenge in Mrs. Loecker's 3rd grade class was a hit! We first enjoyed some delicious snacks and watched some kid-friendly Superbowl commercials. Then we did our challenge where we had to vote for the team we think will win the Superbowl and make a headband, "kick" a penny through the goal post, and complete a math review packet related to football. We even got to go hang out with our 2nd grade buddies and create a football directed-drawing. Looks like our class is predicting the Seahawks to win!
Thank you to Mrs. Beste for helping Mrs. Bertsch's 4th graders learn about the tools on the state testing website!
Lincoln 4th Graders toured the Mead Museum last week. We learned about Lewis & Clark, The Dust Bowl Era and the history of Yankton College! It is always fun to learn outside of the classroom!
Lincoln fourth grade student of the month and bucket filler winners! Keep up the good work!!
These Lincoln 5th grade scientists in Mrs. Walters' science class were showing off their research and creativity learning about natural disasters!
Mrs. Roth's Lincoln 5th graders have been busy the last few weeks. They have registered for 6th grade and have been enjoying Mrs. Smit's presentations on, "Be Good People."
Another busy day for Lincoln 5th graders. First we heard an amazing speaker who happened to be a former NFL player, Steve Grant and then we got the honor of listening to YMS Jazz Band. Great day to be a Lincoln Leader!
I have never met a "firstie" who didn't love a donut with sprinkles!
Mrs. Stacey's class finished kindness week with a Stuffed Animal Day! We had tons of fun learning with our cozy friends and pets!
4th graders in Mrs. Bertsch's class are "Working Out" for kindness!
Learning about inherited traits has been a very interesting topic in science for Mrs. Loecker's 3rd graders. We ended the unit by creating our own baby monsters based on the traits we got when we flipped a coin. There were some very adorable and sometimes scary variations!

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!
