Our Kindergarten authors recently celebrated the completion of their All About books! Over the past several weeks, students have been immersed in nonfiction reading and used what they learned to become experts on topics of their choice. Through planning, drafting, revising, and creating detailed diagrams, they worked hard to publish informational books that teach others. We are so proud of our Kindergarten experts and the knowledge, creativity, and perseverance they demonstrated throughout this writing journey!
🎨✨ A Year of Creativity! ✨🎨
Our Pre-K artists recently received their artwork portfolios and enjoyed reflecting on the many projects they created throughout the year. As they organized their work, students celebrated their growth, creativity, and accomplishments. These special portfolios serve as a wonderful reminder of a year filled with learning, exploration, and artistic expression! 🎨🖌️💙
Our annual Multilingual Learner Family Dinner was a wonderful celebration of learning, language, and culture! Students proudly showcased projects they worked on throughout the year to strengthen their language proficiency and delighted families with songs and poetry performances.

Our kindergarten students are getting ready for a big new adventure! 🎒✨ Across the district’s six elementary schools, students attended their First Grade Orientation, where they had the opportunity to explore their new schools, meet staff members, and make new friends. It was an exciting experience filled with smiles, curiosity, and anticipation as they prepare for the next step in their educational journey. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish in first grade!
Kindergarten students are building strong reading and writing skills through systematic phonics instruction! By learning letter sounds and how sounds work together, students are decoding words, reading with confidence, and writing independently with greater ease every day. ✏️📚
Our kindergarteners took their music lesson outside today as they prepare for their upcoming Kindergarten Celebration! 🎶☀️ Students practiced songs, movements, and performance skills while enjoying the beautiful weather. We can’t wait to see them shine on the big day! 🌟🎤
On an unusually hot day, spontaneous, student-directed dramatic play took over the playground as our young archaeologists turned a quiet corner into an excavation site. ⛏️☀️
With curiosity leading the way, students found a meaningful outlet for their energy through digging, discovering, and imagining together. Their excitement peaked with a small but memorable find...a worm! 🪱
💰✨ Our Pre-K learners are exploring the world of money through hands-on discovery! This week, students practiced counting coins and sorting them by shape and color, building early math skills while having fun with real-world materials.
Through play and exploration, students are developing important skills in counting, classification, and number sense - gradually building to understand how money works in everyday life. Great job, Pre-K economists! 🪙📊

Using a variety of colors and edges, students are designing a vibrant backdrop for the upcoming Kindergarten celebration. This joyful project encourages creativity, student choice, and self-expression while giving students the opportunity to contribute to something meaningful for their school community. It’s authentic learning at its best - creating with purpose, pride, and imagination!
From tiny caterpillars to beautiful butterflies 🐛🦋
Over the past few weeks, our Pre-K students have been observing, questioning, and learning all about the butterfly life cycle. Today, their excitement took flight as we released our butterflies! 🌸
A special moment of wonder, growth, and hands-on learning our students won’t forget.
Today our kindergarten classroom transformed into a team of digraph detectives! Students eagerly searched for pairs like “sh,” “ch,” and “th.” Anticipation filled the room as each new discovery unlocked another piece of the mystery. Curiosity drove thoughtful questions, while joyful cheers erupted with every solved clue. Through play, collaboration, and purposeful learning, students strengthened their phonics skills and confidence. This engaging foundation lesson showed that when imagination leads, learning follows. Case closed—our detectives cracked the digraph code and had a blast doing it! We can't wait for next case!
🔍❤️ Kindergarten Word Detectives! ❤️🔍
Our kindergartners went on a Heart Word Scavenger Hunt around the school, searching for words they know “by heart”! With clipboards in hand, they spotted familiar words, practiced reading them, and celebrated each find together.
A fun, active way to build confidence and strengthen early reading skills! 📚✨
Students practiced the -ck digraph through a hands-on literacy activity making “Yuck Yuck Soup.” Using picture word cards with matching spellings, they blended sounds, read words, and built early decoding skills through playful learning. 📚✨
Our Pre-K artists explored the life of Vincent van Gogh, drawing inspiration from his famous sunflower paintings. Using Model Magic, they sculpted bright flowers and leaves, then built a simple 3D still life with a vase, table, and wall—proudly gluing their sunny creations together! 🌻
🌎✨ Congratulations to our kindergarten student, Eliana!
We are so proud to share that Eliana’s Earth Day poster has been selected as one of this year’s winning entries in the elementary division student poster contest, celebrating Earth Day.
Her creativity and thoughtful message about caring for our planet stood out among many wonderful submissions. What an exciting accomplishment for such a young artist!
Way to go, Eliana! 💚
🏃♂️ Running Buddies at Lincoln School
Lincoln School staff are excited to offer Running Buddies—a group where students build community while finding joy in running.
Through regular movement and high-energy activity, students develop gross motor skills, build endurance, and enjoy a healthy outlet for energy and stress.
More than running, it’s about connection, confidence, and moving together in a supportive space.
Our kindergarten artists are diving into the world of color, storytelling, and perspective! 🎨✨
Inspired by George Rodrigue’s iconic Blue Dog, students explored how to create a background that helps tell a story. They experimented with bold colors, simple shapes, and thoughtful placement to make their “blue dog” stand out in a unique setting.
Our Kindergarten scientists have been busy exploring how animals stay safe to survive! 🐾
Through the interactive “Gopher in a Hole” game, students became snails tucking into their shells, praying mantises scaring away predators, and gophers popping in and out of their homes.
By observing and acting out these behaviors, students discovered an important pattern: all animals seek safety to survive. What a fun and active way to learn science! 🌱
