Lincoln Elementary March Board of Education Report #celebrate379


Classes across the district are taking advantage of the warmer weather to finally get outside! Mrs. Bruggeman's students were working on gross motor spelling and writing activities. #celebrate379




Read Across America continues to bring in special guests to read to students. Yesterday, Blaine Pfizenmaier, Mr. Walling, and Mrs. Combs read to all 4 kindergarten classes. They especially enjoyed hearing Blaine tell jokes using his DynaVox! #celebrate379



March is Youth Art Month, and Mrs. McGuire is excited to share that Amelia has been chosen to be one of the Youth Art Month Featured Artists, which means they posted her art on the Kansas Art Educators Association Facebook page! #celebrate379

Mrs. Peterson's third graders finished up learning about fractions by playing Fraction Basketball with a partner. Each group shot a certain number of shots, made a fraction out of the baskets they made, and compared them with their partner. #celebrate379









Mrs. Payne’s class often combines large motor movements with spelling games. Last week, her class competed in relay races to practice spelling words, and today they completed various movements to the board such as hopping on one foot, crab walking, and slithering like a snake to race to spell their words. #celebrate379

The reading curriculum in USD 379 elementary classrooms focuses heavily not just on fluency but also on comprehension. If you don't know what you are reading, it won't become a lifelong skill! Today, Mr. Bent's third graders were answering comprehension questions about a farming story in their IntoReading textbook. #celebrate379

Read Across America is in full force in kindergarten classrooms! Guest readers are coming in during the month of March to each room. For each book read, Mrs. Shannon's class is coloring a state. Their goal is to get all 50 states colored by Spring Break! #celebrate379










It's racing time in Mr. Smith's second grade P.E. class!


Mrs. Lange had a unique science experiment with her first graders this morning. They asked, "Why do the stars come out at night?" Using cups and flashlights in a dark room, they learned that stars are actually out all the time, but with the sun or city lights, we can't see them. They even made their own stargazer of the Big Dipper!

Each Pre-K classroom at Lincoln has a period of "free play" each day. Research tells us that this is one of the most important parts of a preschool classroom. Learning how to play together, share, and show creativity is just as important as academic success in their early years. Students also have "read" time. Even if they don't know the words yet, it teaches them the importance and enjoyment of reading books.

Every third grade classroom at Lincoln has spelling lists for each week. Each room has different ways to work on these lists and learn the words. It is more than just memorizing, as each list has a theme to help them remember.

Every year, Nurse Jessie Smith brings in various animal hearts to the LES second graders to teach about the anatomy of a heart and how it works. It's always one of their best memories of the year! For those who choose (and are brave enough) to do so, they even get to touch them!

USD 379 will be closed on Wednesday, February 12th, 2025. No school or activities.

Last week, the students in Mrs. Payne's 2nd grade class wrapped up their unit on floods, erosion, and mudslides with a guest model presented by Mrs. Affolter's CCCHS Teaching as a Career class. They worked together to collect data on different methods, mimicking both natural and man-made erosion prevention, learning multiple methods are best! Everyone had fun with the "Dirt and Worms" dessert celebration on the last day!
