Unit 7: Home Support: Students learn to draw and identify points, rays, segments, angles, and lines, including parallel and perpendicular lines. Students also learn how to use a protractor to measure angles, draw angles of given measurements and identify acute, obtuse, right, and straight angles in two-dimensional figures.

Science: We have begun The Birth of Rocks. In this unit, students investigate features and processes of the Earth’s surface. Students explore the rapid process of volcanic eruptions! In contrast, students also explore the gradual Earth processes of weathering and erosion. Students apply their knowledge and design solutions to mitigate the impacts of these processes on humans.

Snacks in the Classroom

Please ensure that everyday snacks are quick and easy for your child to handle. For example, please do not use yogurt, pudding, uncut fruit, or messy items for daily snacks. This avoids spilling on school devices, furniture, new carpet, etc. These snacks work better in the lunchroom. Thank you for your understanding. 

Birthdays

We love to celebrate birthdays! Students who would like to celebrate birthdays in our class should bring non-food items, such as pencils, instead of cupcakes. Sometimes, parents put together little gift bags. These are just ideas. There is no obligation to send anything!

  Hello Lincoln Families, The 4th grade won the Penny Wars! We will celebrate with an extra recess this Thursday, May 29th in the morning. Students can bring their special "outside toy" that morning. This includes bikes, scooters, rollers blades. Great job! As we close this wonderful school year, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and partnership.
