Welcome Back!
Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break.  I enjoyed spending time with
my family and had a fun time with my children.  Even though I enjoyed having time off, I'm ready
and excited to get back to school.  The end of the second trimester is February 28th. Your child
should continue reading nightly as part of their homework. Like any other skill, reading proficiency
comes from practice and encouragement.  Thank you for encouraging your child to read nightly!
Also, please make sure your child spends time during the week practicing his/her multiplication
facts. Extra practice at home will help build his/her math skills and confidence!  The end of the
second trimester means the year is more than halfway over! I look forward to continuing to watch
your child learn and grow.

Multiplication Facts
This week we will be starting a fun incentive to learn our multiplication facts. Students will be
working to earn a pizza party. For each multiplication level they pass, students will add another
piece to make a whole pizza.  Please have your child begin working on their facts at home too.
Learning their multiplication facts will be key to their success in math. We are working on finding
the area of shapes in math right now, by multiplying two sides. If they know their facts, it makes
learning this concept easier.

Girls on the Run
Have you heard of Girls on the Run? Lincoln Elementary School will be hosting a team in
Spring 2020! 3rd , 4th and 5th grade girls can join the team that meets twice per week after
school.For ten weeks, the team will have lots of fun with games that incorporate social-emotional
learning while practicing for a celebration 5K event on May 15th! For more information,
go to https://www.gotrswmi.org/Register-Now Registration is now open! Any questions,
email aettinger@sjschools.org or jtrumbley@sjschools.org 

Let Me Run (Boys Program-New this year!)
This 8 week program is very similar to Girls on the Run, but it is just for boys! This program
will also take place at Lincoln, after school, two days a week. This program will teach young
boys how to also be strong citizens of our community, while also learning how to run a 5k.
The boys and girls WILL NOT run together, and they will also have seperate races. We are
excited to bring this program to Lincoln this year! We are looking for coaches as well,
please sign up online,starting on Wednesday, Jan8th! https://letmerun.org/about-the-program
and email aettinger@sjschools.org with any questions.

Lincoln School Talent Show
Permission slips are now available for the 2020 Lincoln Talent Show.  If your 3rd, 4th, or
5th grader and would like to be in the show, please pick up a form in the office and have
it returned by January 7th.  We are looking for singers, dancers, musicians, comedians,
athletes, poets, artists, and more. Tryouts will be in January, so use this time to get together
