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.

Fifth-grade students put their creativity into action recently by making ornaments.

However, this wasn’t just a “crafting” project, it was an opportunity to combine creativity with active listening, following directions and learning cooperatively.

Students worked together in small groups to discover new concepts and to help each other learn.

With bright eyes and smiles on their faces, PK-3 students exclaimed in excitement as they entered Lincoln’s first HOLIDAY MASHUP MAGICAL EVENT.

The brain-child event of Lincoln art teachers Judy Babik and Lisa Scavnicky- Mamula, librarian Jill Selak  and computer teacher Mary Olesky.Mashup was held Friday, Dec. 16, 2021, at Lincoln PK-8 School.

The vision was for the PK-3 students to experience a Kraynak’s-like atmosphere. The thought behind the event was also to celebrate the holiday season, but in a same manner.

The Lincoln Climate committee met to discuss how the event could take place and what “elves” would be needed to pull off such a celebration.

Students in NJHS, Student Council, The Yearbook Club and various art classes helped to make decorations for the stage and put up all items for the event. Kevin McCarty played Santa Claus and his trusty elf was Brianna Rzucidlo. As one second grader said, “It was magical.”

By creating spinning wheels, Lincoln’s kindergarten students were able to explore what happens to their surroundings when the seasons change.

Spinning the wheel to the next section, they could see how their tree leaves and branches changed during winter spring, summer and fall.

The lesson incorporated arts integration into reading and writing activities. It is among several activities taking place across Warren’s four PK-8 schools through the district’s partnership with Any Given Child and the Kennedy Center.

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!
