Students in the fourth grade were practicing identifying and comparing points of view in their ELA class by completing task cards. They had a fun time looking at the cards and discussing what they thought about the subject on the cards. On their clipboards they compared each other’s point of view.

Mrs. Babik’s art classes designed and painted ceramic llamas for the hospice patients at Ohio Living Home Health and Hospice to brighten up their holiday. The students also used other craft decorations (gems, yarn, artificial flowers etc.) to make their llama’s extra special. The gift tag on each had the Lincoln theme “PRIDE” an acronym for “personal responsibility in daily excellence” included on it. The hospice recipients and nurses were sure to feel a “llotta llove” from the efforts of these students.
Mrs. Babik is pictured below (right) with Carol Davis, Volunteer Coordinator from Ohio health Living and Carol Davis with Chaplain Dan Tayman (left), all holding the wrapped llama’s.
The students in Lincoln’s NJHS have been busy with many service projects since the beginning of the school year. Mrs. Kelly Notar, NJHS Director, has chosen some of their activities to highlight.
The NJHS students donated goodies to create a dessert bar for the 6-8 students who earned this treat by excellent effort in grades and behavior.
The NJHS students brought in clothing and other donations for the Lincoln pantry. They also organized the room and folded and put away the clothes on shelves and on hangers.
NJHS held a food drive for the Warren Mission and challenged the classes each day with announcements. The class that brought in the most would have pizza reward. Mrs. Venetti’s 2nd grade class won.
NJHS students paired up with the Lincoln newspaper club to create designs to decorate the halls for the PK-8 students.
Keep up the great work NJHS students! You are awesome!
Students in Mrs. Olesky’s 7th and Mrs. Orr’s 8th grade technology classes did their first project on the 3D printers that are a new addition to the Lincoln computer labs. The students created snowflakes in Tinkercad, a CAD web app that lets students create 3D designs. Below are pictures of the students using the CAD program and their snowflakes.

One of the fundamental building blocks of learning is vocabulary. Having a well-rounded vocabulary plays a very important role in students’ learning to read. Communication skills, language development, and comprehension are linked to a strong vocabulary.
Our staff participated in a Professional development where the teachers played Human Scrabble. During this staff meeting, the teachers were mixed into groups of 8-10 people based on the shape that they were given when they entered the cafeteria. Each group was given a set of scrabble letters with a string attached so they could put the letter around their neck. Everyone in the group had to have a letter to make a word, and the group with the highest points won. The word that won was JUXTAPOSITION. The staff was encouraged to do the Human Scrabble game with their classes as a way to have fun with learning vocabulary.
In Mrs. Manios’s class the project was to use the Hieroglyphic alphabet to create a kind phrase. Each student created a phrase on real Papyrus paper from the time of the Aztecs and Egyptians, as that is what they were studying. Then, the students swapped projects and decoded to solve the phrases. All of the projects are not pictured here but Mrs. Manios was proud of all their critical thinking and creativity. Mrs. Manios said that when they were reading them, she heard real life issues of kindness during this pandemic in our society. She also commented that it was one of the best moments of her career! Thank you Lincoln kids!
