Not sure who to sit with? Hesitant to sign up?
By
popular demand.... we will have specific tables set-aside for Lincoln
K8 Parents to be paired with other parents by your child’s
grade level...
Great opportunity to meet other parents with MUCH IN COMMON!
Go

Why attend this
event? Events like these raise money to support new or help continue
or expand programs that Lincoln currently provides to students. Lincoln
has three new projects this year..
Drones in the Classroom -
In this project, students will learn
about drones which are unmanned aircraft, vehicle or ship that can
navigate and perform complex tasks autonomously. Drones are primarily
grouped based on their propulsion – UAV(Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle, UGV(Unmanned Ground Vehicle) or AUV(Autonomous Underwater
Vehicle). Student will learn about the forces involved in flight and
movement as well as Newton’s Laws of Motion. Then they will design,
build, and test an experimental model glider and drones
to find out how air and other forces affect its movement. In addition,
they will apply a design process to a variety of problems such as
delivering aid to an area where supplies must be and dropped to the
ground from an aircraft or delivered on the ground.
There are two areas that actively engage students in STEM and they are
robotics and drones. Our proposal is to link coding to drones and
robots so that students can see the real world application and future
careers that would be available in these two areas.
Seeds of Science -
Seeds of Science / Roots of Reading is a collaborative effort of the
Lawrence Hall of Science (FOSS), the University of California at Berkley
and Delta
Education. Seeds of Science/Roots of Reading is a program that
integrates inquiry science with content rich-rich literacy instruction.
Updating to a new science curriculum is very expensive for a district
so we would like to take the lead and start to purchase
a science/literacy approach to science in grades two to five. This
would be the beginning of a transformation that will take a few years to
implement and will eliminate most of our old FOSS(Full Option Science
System) kits and replace it with Seeds of Science/Roots
of Reading. Our other two programs(Project Lead the Way and InSciEd
Out(Zebrafish) give students inquiry science, literacy skill and this
new curriculum will meld with these two programs.
Honey Bee
- A Flow Hive is about more than just harvesting honey in a gentle way—it’s about creating
community, educating people about the importance of bees,
and empowering beekeepers both old and new to make a positive change to
help protect these important little creatures. Bees are tiny
environmental champions! They are responsible for the pollination of 30
percent of the world's crops and up to 90 percent of our wild plants.This
is a wonderful opportunity for our school to help students understand
the job of pollinators in our world. There are many books on bees and
classroom lesson that are available for teacher in grades K -8. A lot
of curriculum we have access to is aligned to
Next Generation Science Standards which we use in Project Lead the Way
and InSciEd Out (zebrafish) lessons.
