Thursday, February 20th, was the Preschool Family day. It featured our all-day preschool class. Our activities were based on the book Ten Black Dots by Donald Crews. Parents and students played games and activities based on the mathematical concepts of subsidizing, greater than/less than and graphing. Families were given activities to further these skills at home.
On 2/12/2020 the the students of Lincoln PK-8 were able to watch Marites Eldred, Teacher of Visual Arts do stop motion photography while they had their lunch. The demonstration was brought to Lincoln by SMARTS, Your Community Arts School in conjunction with Any Given Child, which is sponsored by the Kennedy Center.
A combination of Art, Math and Technology
STEM Students submitted “pixel-like” drawings done on graph paper. The class voted on their favorite design for the project. The winning design was re-created as a full-color gridded picture on a 4’x8′ surface. Each student in the class was responsible for painting their portion of the 432 paper circles. The circles were assembled in a grid that corresponded to the original design.
First grade family day was held on January 28, 2020. The Parents began their day in the cafetorium with pod principal, coach and liaison. They had a discussion about TGRG, listening to their child read and supports in the parent folder.
The parents went into their students room and they began by reading the book I Don’t Want to be a Frog by Dev Petty. They were learning about reading text with expression. The students and parents had a turn and talk discussion on the word “glum” in the context of the story.
The students and guests then made a frog mask that they would be able to use in a Reader’s Theater from their folder at home. They also played a word game. So Fun!
