Welcome to Kindergarten!
100 Days of Kindergarten will be on Friday, February 1st!
We will have special 100 day activites happening in your child's classroom. Students will be completing a 100th Day Project. Information about this project is in today's Monday Folder. Students are also encouraged to dress up as 100 year olds! This is a fun day to celebrate 100 days of Kindergarten.
Science Fair
It is not a requirement for Kindergarten to participate in the Science Fair; however, if your child would like to do a science project, please click on the link below for more information.
Cold Weather
Winter weather is upon us! Per Lincoln Academy policy, students go out to recess until the temperature reaches below 22 degrees. PLEASE send your student with appropriate coats, hats, gloves, and boots! The temperature can be especially cold for morning recess. Thank you!
Sight Words
If the sight word has the heart above it, the word cannot be sounded out. Certain sounds do not follow the rules. For example: in the word "of," the "o" and the "f" are not using their phonetic sound. Please do not have your student sound these words out. These are words that students need to know by heart.
Volunteer Hours Log
The Volunteer Hours Log is now available for use! Please go to the "Volunteer" icon in the upper right corner of the home page or the PTO tab of the LA website. Once you click "LOG HOURS HERE!" you will be asked for a password which is "leopards". You will then be taken to a Google Doc where you can complete all fields. And don't forget to click SUBMIT.
We'd prefer that you enter blocks of time, depending on how frequently you're volunteering. Weekly or monthly blocks of time are fine.
All LA families are encouraged to volunteer 20-hours per school year. If you need ideas on how to get your hours completed, please read the Lincoln Loop emails sent every Friday, visit the PTO tab or talk with your child's teacher. Volunteer hours ensure our charter is renewed each year so please make sure to do your part!
Thank you, LA PTO
