🌍🌊 Third Graders Take a Field Trip... in the Classroom! 🎨👩‍🏫 While we couldn’t go out to explore landforms and bodies of water in person, our third graders used their creativity and imaginations to bring the field trip to us! ✨ They sculpted their own models using clay, including four landform features and four different types of water features. Once their creations were complete, they painted them to bring their landforms and bodies of water to life! 🏔️🏞️🏖️ This hands-on activity gave our students a fun and engaging way to learn about geography while flexing their artistic skills. We’re so proud of their hard work and creativity! 💛

🎉🍎 Congratulations to Mrs. Hanson's Class! 🍎🎉 Mrs. Hanson's 3rd-grade class crushed it with the best attendance in November and earned the Attendance Award! Their reward? Delicious donuts to celebrate their sweet success! Way to go, students—keep up the great work! 🍩👏 #AttendanceMatters #SweetSuccess #LincolnElementary

🌟 Second Grade Fun with Science and Creativity! ☀️ Our second graders in Mrs. Schlimgen's class had an exciting time exploring the properties of materials in their latest science lesson! They dove into hands-on learning by examining texture, flexibility, and absorbency—skills they put to the test in the Mad Hatter Activity! The scenario? The students were stranded on a tropical island 🌴 and had to design and build a hat to protect themselves from the sun, rain, and wind. 🧢🌞💨 The results were both creative and practical, and the kids had a blast putting their designs to the test! Way to go, second grade! You're not just learners—you’re designers and problem solvers, too!

🎉🌟 This week, we had an incredible 149 Lincoln Leaders recognized for their outstanding efforts, kindness, and leadership! 🌟🎉 Way to go, Lincoln Leaders! We are so proud of each and every one of you. Keep up the amazing work! 💙💛 #LincolnLeaders #ProudMoment #MakingADifference

🎄✨ Christmas cheer is in the air! Mrs. Struckman’s 2nd-grade students got creative by making, cutting out, and decorating their own Christmas cookies. Each cookie is a festive masterpiece! Great job, 2nd grade! 🎅❤️

🎬🚗 Drive-In Fun in Mrs. Hanson's 3rd Grade Class! 🚗🎬 Mrs. Hanson's 3rd graders transformed cardboard boxes into creative cars for their very own drive-in movie theater!

What a fun way to kick off the holiday season!

Our very own 4th-grade teacher, Mr. Schmidt, and Superintendent Jeff Danielsen brought the holiday spirit to Lincoln Elementary with their fun and festive Christmas outfits! 🎅 Their joyful energy and creative attire have everyone feeling the holiday magic.

Our amazing 4th-grade students recently completed a Christmas service project, collecting donations for the Beacon Center to help families in need during the holiday season. Their generosity and hard work embody the true spirit of Christmas, and we couldn’t be prouder of their efforts. Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported this meaningful project. Together, we’re spreading kindness and making the season brighter for our community! 🎄🎅🏻

This week, we are shining the spotlight on TWO of our amazing second-grade teachers at Lincoln Elementary! ✏️🍎

🎄🐾 Spreading Holiday Cheer with Kindness! 🐾🎄 This year, Lincoln Elementary's 3rd-grade classes chose to make the season extra special by forgoing a traditional gift exchange and instead collecting donations for the Humane Society. From pet food and toys to blankets and treats, our students are helping bring comfort and joy to animals in need. 🐶🐱 This act of kindness reflects the true spirit of the season—giving and caring for others. Thank you to our thoughtful students, families, and teachers for making this happen! Together, we’re making a difference. 🌟

This week, we celebrated 135 Lincoln Leaders who demonstrated exceptional leadership, kindness, and hard work. Pictured are the class winners who represent the amazing spirit of our school. Congratulations to all of our leaders—you make Lincoln Elementary proud!

Mrs. Olson's 4th-grade class is diving into history with engaging discussion groups about the Roman Empire! It's amazing to see our young historians bring ancient history to life through teamwork and curiosity! Great job, 4th graders! 👏
