Hello Lincoln Families,   Our class was able to do March Madness reading activities put together by Mrs. Bacolor on Friday at our class Read-In along with reading their own personal collection of favorite books. It was a wonderful morning! Report cards will go home this week.  Remember the goal is to have all standards on the report card in the 3 range by the end of 4th grade. So, if your child falls below that range, we will continue to work on those area(s). Also, the multistep word problem standard on the report card for this trimester only includes: adding, subtracting, multiplication, and NOT division. Division for multistep word problems will be reported in the last trimester.  I need to address a situation that happened this week during our Media Center time.
