Time is flying, and February has been a whirlwind of excitement at Lincoln School in Room 115! From Punxsutawney Phil predicting an early spring to our 100th day of school celebration, the Year of the Dragon festivities for Chinese New Year, wishing Ms. Lowry a happy 50th birthday (on the same day we honor Abraham Lincoln's birthday), Valentine's Day, and a relaxing Presidents Day Weekend – it's been quite a journey.
As we step into this short four-day week, we're continuing to honor Black History Month and gearing up for the extra day in the year on the 29th. Below, you'll find a detailed look at what's ahead and some highlights of what we've been working on in school.
It was great meeting with you at Family Teacher Conferences. Please reach out with any follow-ups.
Thank you -
Ms. Clark
