Every week our staff nominates one students at Lincoln as the Kindness Kid of the Week. Students are selected by being friendly, courteous, and helpful to others in the school. We would like to congratulate all of our semester one Kindness Kids!

First grade students have been working with their fourth grade buddy classes on reading. Not only are they having fun reading with each other, they get to log their minutes for the Lincoln Read-A-Thon!

In Physical Education this last week, students of all grade levels are working on their tumbling and gymnastics skills. Students are working on different ways of traveling from one side to the other if it were by cartwheel, roundoff, forward rolls or fun animal movements. Older students are excited for partner and 3 people pyramids next week while younger students are excited for the balance beams and rockwall that comes at the end of the unit.

Our goal at Lincoln is for every student to attend school at minimum 90% of school days! Last month we had 266 students meet our goal for the month!

Lincoln Elementary School was blessed to have Jeanne Styczinski as a visiting artist. She was able to work with the entire school to create two beautiful pieces of artwork that are displayed in the halls. Students spent two days during their related arts time collaborating with their grade level on the project. Each class played a role in creating different pieces of art and then they were put together to create the large pieces of art.

Day one with Mrs. Styczinski was a blast! Students painted lots and lots of papers to be used for the collage. On day two each grade made flowers and pandas to be put together to make the collage.

It was great to see every student at Lincoln have an important role in creating the beautiful pieces of artwork on display at Lincoln!

The Attitude of Gratitude Mindset teaches students the power of gratitude by helping them focus on what’s going right instead of what’s going wrong. It encourages them to recognize the good things in their lives—what’s working, the supportive people around them, and the parts of themselves they value most.

Check out the newsletter in English or Spanish to see how you can bring the mindsets into your home!

Whitewater High School FFA and SADD students participated in the Day of Service at Lincoln Elementary on Monday, January 13. FFA students set up education animal stations throughout the gym and rotated our 4th and 5th grade students through them as the FFA members educated our students on nutrition, care, and housing. SADD students started by reading to 4th and 5th grade students about making positive choices and wise decision making. The students also participated in a game and collaborative activity to strengthen their leadership skills.

Thank you to the advisors of FFA (Allison Parsons and Paul Majors) and SADD (Nicole Grosinski) that were able to make this day happen for our students!

Mrs. Gomez' second graders and their buddy class, Ms. Sullivan's 5th graders, are hosting a hot chocolate fundraiser for the Lopez Chun family. Order forms are going home today, and will be accepted through next Friday, February 7th. We will be delivering on Valentine's Day! A class sign up sheet will come out today, or next Monday, depending if the buddy pair gets it done. Extra forms will be by teacher mailboxes, and are also attached below!

Thanks for any/all support!

On Wednesday, February 12 at 6:15pm the FTP will have their monthly meeting in the Library at Lincoln Elementary. Childcare is available in the cafeteria and Spanish interpretation will be provided during the meeting.

Families,

Before or during conferences please stop and take a look at the lost and (not yet) found area across from the gym. There are plenty of coats, hats, gloves, water bottles and other gear that may belong to you. After conferences we will clean out the area.

Please check out the flyers below for youth baseball, softball, rookie ball and tee ball. Each flyer is in English and Spanish.
