Visiting Lincoln Elementary

Being able to visit Lincoln Elementary was a great experience. It's always good to be able to see what you are learning about being effectively used in the classroom. Lincoln Elementary was definitely an eye opening experience. They have so many amazing things going on in the classroom and using simple technology to do so.

My favorite part of the visit was seeing the younger kids working on math. There were so many students in the classroom and all of them were interactively engaged in what they were doing. There were students playing math games on the ipod touch, students counting money on the interactive whiteboard, and students on the computer. When I was asking the different students about what they were very eager to show you. They loved being able to show off the fun math skills they were able to do using technology. The kids were so excited to be learning. This website gives the top 10 math apps for the ipod touch.

Lincoln Elementary has done a great job of getting their kids excited about learning. This was proven again and again as we walked around the school. When we went upstairs to the 5th grade classroom, the kids loved being able to talk about their projects. I was amazed by what the kids were able to create out of popsicle sticks and glue. This was such a great example of how project based learning really is passion based learning. 

Lincoln Elementary really has a positive environment for their kids. They have such supportive parents that really make people want to be apart of the school. I would love to have the opportunity to go back to Lincoln and spend more time their.
