✨ Interested in Learning More About ACEs? ✨
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events that occur during childhood (ages 0-17) and are surprisingly common. Understanding ACEs can help us better support children and foster resilience in our communities.
📚 Join us for a special training session to explore ACEs, their impact, and how we can make a difference. RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/codington-connects-and-resilient-communites-presents-aces-training-tickets-1107557386959?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios
We are spotlighting two of our amazing 4th-grade teachers! Their dedication and passion make a difference in the lives of their students every day.
The forecast in the Lincoln Elementary library was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs! Mrs. Schulte captivated students with the whimsical tale of Chewandswallow, a town where food falls from the sky instead of being served on plates. Pancakes, hamburgers, and even spaghetti rain down to feed the townspeople—until the weather takes a wild turn! Through her storytelling magic, Mrs. Schulte brought this delightful book to life, sparking laughter and curiosity in the students. What a creative way to inspire a love for reading!
Mr. Bruning has a talent for making learning enjoyable. During gym class, he engaged the students in parachute activities, seamlessly blending fun with physical exercise. These activities not only provided entertainment but also promoted teamwork and cooperation among the students.
📚✨ Bringing Stories to Life! ✨📚
Mrs. Schulte has a magical way of making story time unforgettable! 🐻🦊 Her animated storytelling paired with playful puppet characters keeps our students at Lincoln Elementary fully engaged and excited about reading. Whether it’s laughter, gasps, or eager curiosity, she sparks a love of books in every child.
Thank you, Mrs. Schulte, for turning story time into an adventure every day! 💛 #LincolnLovesReading #StoryTimeMagic #PuppetPower

🌍🌊 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! 💛

🌟 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! 🌟🎉
