Most students at Lincoln are in the middle of end-of-year testing. This includes Mrs. Thomas' 2nd graders, who were focusing on the iReady math spring assessment. These assessments are used to gauge growth throughout the year and from year to year, and also to help your student's next teacher know where your child is in their learning process. #celebrate379
Last week, Garfield Para Ashlee Baker-Brown stopped in to Mrs. Christa's Pre-K classroom to share her passion for pants and botany. She shared about some of her own plants, plant life, plant health, propagation, and how plants help provide us with clean air! #celebrate379

Even though we are now in the last month of the school year, learning is still happening at LES! Ms. Brownell's students spent their Monday morning working on spelling words with specific prefixes and suffixes. They were also catching up on possessive pronouns. Here's to finishing the year strong! #celebrate379
Congratulations Mr. Bent! #celebrate379
Egg Drop 2025! Thank you to our very own Clay Center Fire Department for helping make yesterday's Egg Drop a big success. Capsules were dropped 50 feet and then carefully opened to reveal the answer to everyone’s question…..Did your egg survive? #celebrate379
Mrs. Kaity's Pre-K classes have spent their "Garden" theme week planting flowers. She even had some former students come back to help! After all, once you are in Pre-K you are considered family! #celebrate379

Congratulations on this BIG honor and doing what is best for our kids! #celebrate379
We wish Mr. Kimmi the best of luck and welcome Mrs. Lane to LES next year! We have begun the search process to find the next principal at Garfield Elementary. Our goal is to have that position filled as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition for both school communities. #celebrate379
GREAT MOMENT ALERT!!!
Every year at LES, students are invited to write an essay on who they feel is the "Kindest Clay Center Citizen". Some were chosen to read their essays at a Rise & Shine assembly in March.
Senior Anthony Davies wasn't 18 yet, so he didn't qualify as a recipient. But that didn't stop two students from nominating him, including Bronson! LES counselor Ms. Coughlin invited Anthony for lunch and the essays were read to him. It is a great lesson about how our oldest learners are a great example to our youngest learners in USD 379! #celebrate379
Thank you to everyone who attended our Kindergarten Roundup last week! If you did not attend and have a child enrolling in kindergarten at LES next year, please call the office at 785 632-3156 to set up a screening appointment. #celebrate379
Lincoln Elementary April BOE Report #celebrate379
Students in Mrs. Shannon’s class enjoyed learning about Jane Goodall and her love for the outdoors and animals (especially chimpanzees.) Students used their myBook to illustrate text meaning and answer questions. Amazing work! #celebrate379
It's always a good thing when you walk into a classroom and kids are reading! Mrs. Weller's reading groups are in the middle of learning about figurative language with their chapter books. #celebrate379
🧬🐾 Things are getting wild in 3rd grade science! Mrs. Peterson's class has been diving into inherited traits with Ms. Brownell, and it's been a creative adventure. They researched two animals, mashed up their traits, and dreamed up brand-new creatures! 🐒🦉🦖
Now, these young scientists are bringing their inventions to life—writing stories, drawing them out, building habitats in dioramas, and soon... 3D models! 🛠️🌿 Imagination + science = magic.
Stay tuned for some seriously cool creations! 🔬✨ #celebrate379
Second graders in Mrs. Pfizenmaier's class are in their first week learning about contractions and how they are spelled. Mrs. Pfizenmaier breaks them up into small groups to work on this. While one group is with her, the other is working on an online program called Lexia that works on each student's level.
This group is so into spelling that they often find their own words to try and stump Mrs. Pfizenmaier. Today it was onomatopoeia! #celebrate379
It's Baby Animal Week in Mrs. Christa's Pre-K classroom this week! Today, she brought in some goats from Grater's Farms. Nothing goes together better than some cute kids and cute goats! #celebrate379
