During his day, Graham shadowed Dr. Deb Coberley, helped ensure the building was secure, greeted staff and students, discussed playground safety, and reviewed classroom needs, including how they align with the school budget.
Graham is truly a future leader in the making!

Lunar New Year is a special holiday celebrated in many Asian countries to welcome the start of a new year on the lunar calendar. Ms. Rotstein's 2nd grade class had a student's parents share traditional Chinese customs, decorations, and stories about how families celebrate this joyful time. They learned about red decorations, which are believed to bring good luck and happiness. After the presentation, students rotated through four fun stations: practicing calligraphy, making colorful paper lanterns, creating wax seals, and playing the traditional game Touhu. It was an exciting day filled with learning, creativity, and new cultural experiences.

Enjoy your holiday! See you Tuesday!

Plainfield North High School juniors Mowosimi Kolawole and Avik Nanga visited Kaitlyn Cannon’s fifth-grade classroom at Lincoln Elementary School in January to lead a short lesson on developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
The visit was part of a student-designed project created through the school’s Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), a business-focused organization.
During the lesson, students participated in a hands-on activity centered on saving and spending money, helping them build practical financial literacy skills they can apply in the future.

Our 5th grade students have been hard at work learning about volume. After studying the formula for volume, students applied their knowledge by designing and building animals made entirely from rectangular prisms.
