Grade 3 - Recorder Classes

In 3rd grade music class the kids are working on identifying notes on the music staff as well as counting, clapping, and creating basic rhythms. One of their favorite end of class activities is playing a "guess that movie" with music clips. They are having fun playing their recorders along with the Bills Shout song to cheer our team on in the playoffs! They can play along with our special recording on the Google Classroom at home for you. GO BILLS! Don't forget to mark your calendars for the spring concert on May 29th.

Fourth Grade - Instrumental

Lesson groups and days have changed to accommodate for band and orchestra beginning on 1/22. Band and orchestra will take place during the school day every Wednesday to prepare for our spring concert on May 29th. Your child will now bring their instrument on their lesson day AND on Wednesday for ensembles. At this point all band kids should be able to play their 5-note scale and at least up to page 8 in the lesson book. Orchestra (string) students should be able to identify all strings, and play D, E F#, G, and A, Hot Cross Buns, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and Twinkle Twinkle. They are also practicing proper bow hold, which is new to them!

Happy New Year, families! This January, we will focus on Growth Mindset—the belief that our abilities can grow with effort, learning, and perseverance. We'll help students understand that mistakes are opportunities to learn and that challenges are a natural part of the learning process.

Classroom lessons will explore how to stay motivated when things get tough, celebrate progress, and use phrases like "I can't do this yet" to reframe their thinking. We encourage families to continue these conversations at home by praising effort and talking about how hard work leads to success.

December: Empathy and Kindness

Teaching emotions through play is an important way to develop empathy in children. Games and activities can help children learn the language to express and understand complex feelings. To play emotion charades, take turns acting out emotions and guessing what feeling is being portrayed.

OR….?

Children choose some of their gently used toys, clothes, or books and donate them to a local charity as a way to help bring joy to others.

A DIY donation drive reinforces the idea that even small acts of kindness contribute to creating a more compassionate and caring community. By involving children in choosing, organizing, and physically donating their own items, they also gain firsthand experience in making a positive impact on the lives of others.

Starting on December 5th through December 20th, Lindbergh will be doing the 12 Days of Good Attendance. Each day a student will be selected to receive a prize or class prize if they are in attendance.

We hope this season brings joy, warmth, and cherished time with loved ones. Whether you're celebrating traditions old or new, may your holidays be filled with peace and happiness. We wish you and your family a fun filled and safe holiday season.

This month, Lindbergh students are learning valuable skills in Conflict Resolution. Through engaging activities and discussions, they are exploring how to handle disagreements respectfully and peacefully. By practicing active listening, understanding different perspectives, and learning to compromise, our students will build stronger friendships and create a more positive school environment.

Practice I-Statements at home to keep conversations respectful and solution-oriented.

1. Start with “I feel…” (Express your emotion)

2. Describe the specific behavior or situation causing the feeling

3. Explain why it makes you feel that way

4. Ask for what you need or would prefer

In the library, students have been learning how to be good digital citizens. Also, the third graders just finished creating awesome All About Me Google Slides presentations.

Please read the follow to help with school safety.

Each student will be able to get a free breakfast and lunch this school year. Even though meals are free, we need all families to complete food service paperwork that will be sent home in the parent packet on the first day. Completing the form ensures individual eligibility for certain state and federal programs as well as additional school funding.

NEW THIS YEAR: Our Food Service Department remains committed to taking a stand against artificial colors. Last year, they brought in new ice cream with no artificial colors and are moving in this direction for ALL foods served or sold in our cafeterias, like chips sold as an a la carte item.
