Lincoln Lions Family Newsletter

This week's newsletter is short and sweet!

• This is a 4 day week of learning for our students here at Lincoln.
• There is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, December 10th for students. It is a day of professional development for our teachers.
• Winter Fastbridge testing started this week for our K-5 students. In order for them to do their absolute best on the tests, please make sure they are getting a good night's rest.

Winter Gear Reminder

As we head into winter, please remember to send your child with their winter gear!

We will go outside even if it's snowing, as long as the real feel temperature is above 10 degrees. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Winter Layers: It's best to send your child with winter layers and gear just in case!
• Labeling: Please label all of your child's winter wear with their name. This helps us return lost items to the correct students.
• Independence Practice: Encourage your child to practice getting ready independently for the winter weather.

Have a wonderful week!

Warmly,

Mrs. Roberts 🤎

Parents can support math learning at home by integrating it into daily routines, using everyday items for measuring and counting, and playing games that build problem-solving skills. It is also helpful to communicate with teachers to understand the school's approach and to foster a positive, growth mindset about math. Try out some of the math problems below with your child to see how they solve them! Send in their work to school to earn ROAR tickets for shopping.

Show your math work! Draw a picture.

Show your math thinking. Draw a picture.

1. Listen to the read aloud.
