Lincoln School News for Oct. 1-5, 2018

Laps for Lincoln!!!
Only 3 days left to turn in your Laps for Lincoln money!  Remember, if your child brings in $30 they get a t-shirt and if they bring in any amount of money they will be entered into our daily drawings.  Most importantly though, you and your children are raising money for a great cause and we appreciate your support!  Be sure to follow our Facebook page @SJLincolnPTO.  This week we will be showcasing the many important ways that these Laps funds are put into use! 

Finally, come celebrate our Laps for Lincoln success this Friday, Oct. 5 at 5pm at Dickinson Stadium!  It’s going to be a great night!

The Little Free Library
We are proud to participate in the national Little Free Library program!  Feel free to visit our library to take a book home any day. Our Little Free Library is located in the front of the school.    When you are done with the book, please return it so someone else can enjoy it. If you have books to donate to the library, please add them to the shelves.  If there is no room, please bring them to the office. Thank you!

Extended Learning Opportunities
St. Joseph Public Schools is proud to offer extended learning opportunities for students as part of our daily routine.  Your child's teacher may include him/her in individual or small group experiences designed to support academic, social and/or emotional learning.  These special opportunities will be facilitated by other members of our staff, including the paraprofessionals who serve on our Title One Intervention Team and/or Mrs. Jasiak & Mrs. Van Hekken (our school social workers).

Lexia Core5 is Back! 
This school year your child will be using Lexia Reading Core5, a fun computer-based program that has helped millions of students. The activities in Core5 support and build on our classroom curriculum and focus on developing reading skills in six areas: phonological awareness, phonics, structural analysis, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
Here’s how Lexia Reading Core5 works:
●      Your child begins Core5 at a starting point that fits his or her needs and works in online activities throughout the week.
●      Online activities include direct instruction and feedback as your child learns new skills.
●      Progress and performance in the program is reported so teachers can provide help when needed.
●      Paper-and-pencil activities are also used for practice and may be done in school or brought home.
●      Achievement certificates may be sent home to celebrate success and to show progress in the program.
Lexia Reading Core5® can be used at home for extra practice. Getting started is easy!
1. To use on a computer, go to the school Symbaloo and click on Clever.  The Symbaloo page is at  https://www.sjschools.org/district-web-links.  Or you can go directly to the SJPS Clever login page at https://clever.com/in/stjoebears, log in as your student, and select Core5-Lexia.  Be sure to enable Flash in your web browser.
2. To use on an iPad, iPad mini tablet, download the free Clever App from: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clever-instant-login/id1134186971?mt=8 and the Lexia Reading Core5 app https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lexia-reading-core5/id623853404?mt=8 from the App Store   The app will not work on other devices, including Kindle, Android, or iPhone at this time.  Log in to Clever on the device, and launch Lexia Core5 from there.
3. These download links for can all be found here:  https://www.lexialearning.com/core5-downloads  Just remember we use Clever to authenticate your students account so log in through there first.  
4. It is important that your child works without any help while using Core5. All of the work your child does at home is recorded and reported to school. This way, teachers can see when help is needed and provide additional instruction at school.
5. If you have a question about your child’s username or password, please contact your child’s teacher.


Enjoy a delicious meal and support our community!
