Third and fourth graders at Lincoln Elementary had fun watching their eggs be thrown from a bucket truck and hoping they survived! Students spent Monday morning, working in groups, to construct a durable container to house and protect their eggs. Some eggs survived the plunge, while others became scrambled!
Mrs. Quanstrom’s third grade class took a field trip Bureau Valley Walnut to meet their pen pals from this year! 🩵🩶🩵
In collaboration with BV teachers, Mr. DeMay and Mrs. Krug, students engaged in pen pal writing to focus on building relationships, friendly letter writing, and effective communication skills!
Students wrote back and forth all year, and they were finally able to meet each other through this fun field trip! Students worked on speaking and listening skills and enjoyed the morning together. What an amazing opportunity!
Special thank you to BV Walnut, Mr. DeMay, and Mrs. Krug for hosting us! 🩵🩶🩵

Mrs. Cartwright's class packed up all the donations they collected during their pet food and supply drive!!!🐕🐾🐈⬛
This project was connected to their reading module about "Making a Difference". After the students heard about the needs of the animals in our community, they came up with the idea of doing a pet food and supply drive!
The kids made posters and have spread the word around the school about the pet food drive. The students have really enjoyed feeling like they are making a difference in our community!!!!
Third grade students have been learning all about recycling and the difference that each person can make on our world. In connection with this study, students developed incredible “Trash to Treasure” projects where they took recycled trash and turned it into useful and unique items. They also developed a visual presentation to present their projects to their peers.
Finally, in honor of this project and Earth Day, third graders welcomed family and friends to tour their “Trash to Treasure” creations!♻️🌎
What an amazingly green and creative project! We are so thankful to all of the family and friends who were able to attend this amazing learning experience!
The Opera For The Young returned to Lincoln School! Third and fourth grade students enjoyed and participated in the entertaining opera, The Beauty and the Beast. The performance was complete with a student choir from Lincoln as well.
The Opera For The Young was sponsored by The Princeton Public Schools Foundation. What a wonderful and engaging experience!
On March 28th, fourth grade students at Lincoln Elementary, had their annual “Lemonade Wars”. After reading the book The Lemonade War, students either created or bought products to sell at their own Lemonade Stands. Proceeds from all of the stands go toward a field trip at the end of the year. This year they will be going the Gamma Phi Circus at Illinois State University in Bloomington.
