UPK-5th Grade Meet the Teacher and 6th - 8th Grade Curriculum Night:
Lyncourt School’s Meet the Teacher/Curriculum Night will be held on September 27, 2018. Curriculum Night provides the opportunity for parents to meet the teachers. Teachers will have an opportunity to present, in a structured setting, specific information to parents and/or guardians regarding academic requirements, schedules, expectations, etc. This is not meant to be an Open House (where parents visit and come and view samples of their child’s work) or a parent conference (where parents visit with the teacher on an individual basis about their child). Because of the amount of information to be presented and the length of time involved, we do ask that all children remain at home. This will allow parents and the others attending to give their full attention to the information ...

Summer Reading:
School might be over, but it is still time to READ! So pick up a book and go on an adventure! READ this summer.
Why is summer reading important? According to the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report™: 6th Edition , both kids (80%) and parents (96%) agree that summer reading will help the child during the school year.
Let us all take the Summer Reading Pledge!
I pledge to read for at least 20 minutes each day
for at least 40 days during the months of July and August.
 Happy Summer Reading!

Living Wax Museum:
You didn't have to make a trip to Oxford, England to learn more about Dorothy Hodgkin! You just had to visit the Living Wax Museum at Lyncourt School. Our students participated in a fantastic living wax museum. They each researched a famous person, created a Biography poster, "became the person" in costume, and gave a short monologue. They even hosted a Museum Tour Presentation for their classmates. They did an awesome job. Videos of each presentation can be found in the below link.

Coding Club:
Students are learning to code in the library! What is coding? It is a system of instructions that allow a computer program to run something. Students are using the Tickle program to code Sphero SPRK balls. The codes from the Tickle app tell the SPRK balls to do whatever the students program it to do. The first challenge students completed was the Sphero Bowling Challenge. Students had to program the SPRK balls to knock "bowling pins" (ie: red SOLO cups) by using different codes. Students will complete many different coding challenges throughout the year.
Being able to code is an important skill, as c ode powers our digital world. Every website, app, computer program, calculator and even microwave relies on code in order to operate. This makes coders ...

Impressionist Fall Tree:
The first graders embarked on a series of exercises that included texture rubbings, tempera painting of a foreground and background, and a discussion on the French Impressionists.
They looked at George Seurat and pointillism. Pointillism is a style of painting in which small dots of color create the impression of a wide selection of other colors and blending.
All these experiences were combined into final pieces of artwork.

Let's Paint a Rainbow:
The Kindergarten class had an exercise in color recognition today. Students were told to select a marker in the proper sequence by color. We tried to make concentric half-circles or semi-circles. Students followed the teacher-led example on the Promethean board. We colored in the spaces made by our semi-circles. When done we embellished our drawings with a creative setting that might include a pot of gold. Submitted by Mr. Retz, Art Teacher.
