Welcome Teachers and staff!

 

We're thrilled to have you here on the PTO page! This year, we've allocated $18,000 for classroom materials and field trips to help support your invaluable work with our students as we aim to provide you with the resources you need. 

 

The PTO Materials Fund is intended to support Lincoln staff members—including specials teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff—by providing additional supplies or equipment to help them work more effectively with students. The PTO recognizes the value of educational experiences beyond the classroom and understands that field trip costs can be a financial strain for some families. To help ease this burden, we have set aside a special fund to assist Lincoln families with field trip expenses.

Below are some examples of how teachers and staff have benefited from the funds:

  • Mrs. Vogt purchased sheet protectors for her 5th grade band students to protect their music.
  • Mrs. Goodman purchased Daily Math Fluency Centers Kits for Grade 4&5  that helped support classroom teachers in building visual math progressions for students to close gaps in areas of opportunity for learning. 
  • Ms. Salinas purchased flash cards, sorting & stacking, colorful ice cream counting, Montessori screw, magnetic sticks, alphabet dinosaur to help students learn recognized letters and numbers.
  • Ms. Hernandez purchased Big Joe Bean Bag Chairs to be used in the SPED classroom for the calming corner and for alternative seating for learning and Classroom timers to help with room transitions.

  • Mrs. Goodman purchased a variety of instructional materials to support intervention and differentiation across classrooms, addressing the many areas of opportunity at Lincoln. These resources have expanded the tools available to teachers working with students in small math groups.
