One of the best (and saddest) days of the year took place today, as the CCCHS Class of 2026 walked the halls of Lincoln Elementary one more time! CCCHS graduation will take place Saturday, May 16, at 9 a.m. at the Mark A. Chapman Activity Complex. #Celebrate379
Garfield had a great time hosting Lincoln 3rd graders last week at Movin' On Up Day! Students learned about Garfield School, met the staff, and took a tour of the building. A big shout-out to our 4th grade Movin' On Up Day leaders! They did a fantastic job! #Celebrate379


Mrs. Carr's first graders have been learning new skills as part of her soft-start mornings. The students have been working on sewing plastic canvas projects, including choosing their colors and themes.
Sewing improves focus and fine motor skills, and the creative process boosts mood and mental health. The goal-driven nature of stitching has also been shown to improve cognitive health, reduce stress, and strengthen neural pathways. #Celebrate379

As always, it was a fast and furious pace in kindergarten today! Mrs. Siebold's students were reading books, working on handwriting, and learning about a BIG day tomorrow! Ask your kids about "Yes" Day! #Celebrate379
Ms. Brownell's students got to walk the red carpet this morning! After publishing their book, "The World's Coolest Animals", they celebrated with fancy clothes, Hors d'oeuvres, and a reading, thanks to Ms. Brownell's decorating skills. Each student also got to take a copy home. It was a special day they will remember forever! #Celebrate379

It's planet madness in Mr. Bent's science class! His third graders are researching a chosen planet and coming up with unique features about each one. The end goal will be a presentation that they will create and show to the rest of the class. #Celebrate379
It's birdie time in Mr. Beardsley's P.E. class! His students are in the middle of a badminton unit, and the birdies are flying! #Celebrate379

Last fall, Lincoln special education teacher Marcy Schooley and Wakefield music teacher Kerri Butler were selected as USD 379 elementary and secondary teachers of the year. Today, they were formally recognized at the Kansas Teacher of the Year Region 1 Banquet in Salina. They add yet another chapter to the outstanding teachers we have in Clay County. Congratulations to both! #Celebrate379

A big thanks to Mrs. Wisner, who came to Mrs. Lange's first grade class to talk about what plants need to live and grow. Students then got to choose between basil or a succulent to plant and take home. This was a great way to wrap up their unit on plants! #Celebrate379





When you are in Mrs. Edwards' class, and you can see the beautiful weather outside, you move your math classroom out into the sun! #Celebrate379


Mrs. Auld broke out the reading buddies again for her students during library time. They have missed our readers! #Celebrate379



Mrs. Lange combined some science into her reading lesson today, and it included a spring theme! Her first graders learned all about plants, seeds, and what makes them grow. #celebrate379
Today, Mrs. Payne's 2nd graders practiced identifying parts of speech in dictated sentences that include this week’s spelling words. Students then used Habit 6: Synergize, and circled the verbs in the story we’re reading this week. It was a great reminder that a complete sentence must include a verb! #celebrate379
CCCHS Senior Intern Spotlight #celebrate379

Ms. Coughlin used a fun game during her 2nd grade counseling lesson to show how failure can mean learning. She had a dot maze on the floor, and students had to make their way through the maze one by one. They worked as a team to figure out which dots were the correct way to go and which dots sent them back to the beginning. Then they talked about how, even though some students failed and others succeeded, their combined effort helped them complete the maze together. #celebrate379
Mrs. Bruggeman's Pre-K students had a fun way to write and solve addition problems today! They did this by using their fine motor skills to pluck bugs from the garden and count them. Don’t tell Mrs. Lane, but they also wrote on the tables! #celebrate379






It is always a good time of day for story time in Pre-K! #celebrate379

Mrs. Shannon's kindergarten class didn't waste any time jumping right back into learning after Spring Break. Today, they were analyzing words with multiple meanings, such as "trunk". They even got to draw an elephant! #celebrate379
Save the date! #celebrate379
