Thankyou!

It is the end of another school year and we want to thank you for sharing your children with us and allowing us to get to know you and your family.  Over the course of the summer we will be sending out a few E-files when there is information that we need to share.  We hope you have great summer and will see you in the fall.

First Lego League (FLL) and FLL Jr.

2018-19 Season

FLL is an exciting, fun and intellectually challenging activity centered around Lego Robotics. The activity is intended for 4-8th graders. Teams will form just after the start of school in the fall. Teams need 2-4 coaching parents and 4-6 students. Teams meet 2-3 times weekly until the Expo meet, typically in December. Last season, BOTH Lincoln teams advanced to Regionals!

FLL Jr is for 1st-3rd grade students. Teams build a model and poster and present their work at the Expo, similar to a science fair. Teams need at least 2 coaches and 2-6 students. Focus is on teamwork, learning and fun!

If you are interested, please send me your student’s full name, grade level in 2018-19, your full name, contact email & phone.

We will hold 2 informational meetings (TBD) over the summer so that teams can hit the ground running in September.

2018 Fall Auction

As we are all preparing to say goodbye to another fantastic school year, the auction committee is busy planning for the fall! Mark your calendars, the 2018 Lincoln Auction will be held on Saturday, October 27th!
The auction committee is looking for help!
We need assistance with requesting and/or gathering donations from local businesses over the summer months. If you have connections to a local business, are comfortable asking for donations, OR have a little bit of free time to pick up donations across town - we really need your help!
We also are in need of a family, or a couple of families, willing to help with the take down of the auction immediately after the event. This volunteer position will communicate with the teachers and staff, and assist with putting furniture back into place, to ensure that classrooms are put back together and ready for the next school day.
If you are interested in helping out in any way, please contact Jen Groettum and Sara Mason by emailingLincolnSchoolAuction@gmail.com
This is unique to Lincoln and funds many projects at Lincoln…..

The Honey Bee Project

The Honey bee Project is funded by the Rochester Public School and PPT.   The goal of the project is to educated staff and students about honey bees and their contribution to the world.  This was our first spring setting up a hive and working with bees.  We have a team of teachers that have taken classes and have helped with hive inspections.  We purchased a flow hive that will allow us to observe the bees and easily collect honey.   We have purchased a portable hive so that next fall we can bring a frame of bees to the classrooms when we talk about the hive and what bees do.  If you would like to see the Lincoln hive it is located about three blocks from Lincoln on the Boys Scout Property along highway 14.   There is a cage around it, but if you would like to watch the bees you can through the fence.   Joey Lindsey, a former Lincoln student has been contracted to design and create a camera system that runs off solar power and will upload images /video from the hive sometime this summer.  Once he has it working, we will send you the link… "The Bee Cam"
Over the summer we will begin the process of designing classroom lesson on bees for teachers to use with their classes.This is unique to Lincoln

Amplify Science Project

Amplify Science is a new science curriculum for K-5 that will supplement what we are doing with Project Lead the Way andInSciEd Out.  This new curriculum is funded by PPT and Special Projects and will add an inquiry hands on science experience at each grade level.  Teacher are meeting in June to learn about the curriculum and plan for its implementation.  This is unique to Lincoln.

The Drone Project

The Drone project is a new engineering experience for K - 8 students that begins the exploration of drones. This project is funded by Century Linc and PPT.  In this project, students will learn about drones which are unmanned aircraft, vehicle or ships 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.  
This project will be worked on this summer and will be integrated into our Amplify/Project Lead the Way/InSciOut.  This is unique to Lincoln

The Garden Project

We have a greenhouse, storage shed and six raised bed gardens.  The students have planted the gardens and now all that remains is weeding and watering.  Next week on June 11 Redeemer Luthern Church’s “Pay it Forward” will be sending people over to Lincoln to remove the rocks in the front of the school and replace them with new plants (Funded by PPT), new mulch (District Provided) and compost (District provided).  This project may take two days to complete and if you feel the need to get a little dirty and help make the front of the school more  attractive, please stop by and for an hour or two.  Many hands make the work go faster.  This kind of involvement is unique to LIncoln

Hyvee Receipts

Thank all of you that turned in your Hyvee Receipts.  We receive a $1.00 for each $250.00 in receipts collected.   What was our Receipt Total:   $76,451.28   - How much money does Lincoln Get?  A great math problem for your family tonight.
