💘🎨 Mrs. Neuhaus’s Firsties have been busy at Lincoln! 🎨💘

Today our classroom was full of creativity, glue, and LOTS of smiles as Mrs. Neuhaus’s Firsties decorated their Valentine’s Day boxes! Each one is unique and ready to collect all the love and kindness on Valentine’s Day. 💌✨

We can’t wait to use them—these first graders did an amazing job! ❤️📦

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! 😂

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!

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!

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. 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”.
