Mrs. Abbott's Dream Team 2020-21

  Hello Lincoln Families, Here are some important reminders:  NWEA testing is this week! Please remember to have Chromebooks charged and packed for school every day this week. We need all Chromebooks here and charged for the testing. Please keep in mind most grade levels are testing this week too. The Media Center doesn't have enough computers and chargers to support materials left at home. Thank you for your understanding! Testing for NWEA will begin Monday, April 26th in the morning.  We will be testing students in reading and math.  It may take a few days to finish as a class. I encourage students to get a good night's sleep each night this week and bring in snacks. As we know, it's difficult to do our best when we are tired and hungry! :) As a class, we went over fall and winter data including grade-level goals. Students understand where their individual outcome should be once they finish each test according to the data from the prior test in the fall. Keeping in...

  Hello Lincoln Families, Testing for NWEA will begin Monday, April 26th in the morning. We will be testing students in reading and math.  It may take a few days to finish as a class. This week we will discuss fall and winter data and grade-level goals. Once students are finished with the NWEA, we will gather the data and adjust individual learning goals and use them along with essential standard data/goals to finish out the 4th-grade year. This is a very crucial time of year. This last trimester is going fast! There is much work that needs to be done in order to finalize 4th-grade goals to get students prepared for 5th grade. Please try your best to have your child in school. If you can schedule doctor appointments after 3:15, it would be most beneficial to your child. I don't want anyone to lose valuable lesson time. It's just not possible to "catch" students up with the Covid protocols and our schedule. Thank you for your understanding. Just an F.Y.I: M-Step testi...

    Hello Lincoln Families, I hope everyone had a wonderful break! I can't believe we only have a little over two months left of school. Remember to have Chromebooks charged and packed for school Monday morning. Also, Monday is "Positivity Day". Students are encouraged to wear their P2 T-shirts. Have a great week! Here's what is happening this next week: Reading: Students will use CLOSE reading and annotations skills to dig deep and analyze non-fictional texts. In addition, students will use the notes and reading strategies to find text structures like compare/contrast, cause/effect, and problem/solution. Writing: Students will continue to research their historical events to write a 5 paragraph informational essay with a thesis statement and other important elements. Students will experience more of the writing process. This will take a few weeks to publish into a Google Slide. Once the essay is finished they will prepare a Powtoon, Screencastify, or WeVideo presen...
