Science: In our new unit, Work of Water students will explore how water shapes the Earth's surface. Students construct and use models of mountains to demonstrate that water flows downhill, and in the process, transforms huge rocks into the tiny grains of sand we find at the beach. Students will also construct and use model hills to determine the causes of erosion, and to design solutions to problems caused by erosion.  Please ask your child what he or she has learned this week. 


Thanksgiving Luncheon:  Our Lincoln School Thanksgiving Luncheon will be next Monday, Nov. 20th. Due to space, only volunteer servers are able to join us.  Thank you for your understanding. 


Stuff A Truck: November 13th-18th, 2023

Our Lincoln School Student Council is excited to be leading the way in giving back to the larger Berrien County community by collecting non-perishable (canned goods, boxed dinner/pasta) food items. If you are able, simply pick up an item (or more) at the grocery store, and send it to school with your student to be donated. We collect now because there is a greater need for food around the holidays. Thanks for spreading kindness and positivity!
