Discovering the best in all of us - January 2023
PRINCIPALS MESSAGE FROM MR. BOGART
Dear Lincoln A-Team Families,
January 23-29 is Paraprofessional Recognition Week in Minnesota Schools. From health assistant and nursing duties, media work, to supporting students with disabilities in the classroom setting, paraprofessionals perform a wide array of student support services. As well, they often help in managing some of the duties that schools could not do without such as playground and lunchroom teaching. In the past, you may have referred to paraprofessionals as instructional aides, pupil support assistants, classroom helpers, etc. Today, their roles are becoming increasingly more specific and focused as they help to ensure that all students learn and grow. One thing that is clear to me as I move from classroom to classroom, is that our Lincoln paraprofessionals develop many relationships with our students and contribute to a positive climate and student-centered building culture.
At Lincoln Elementary School, our paraprofessionals are truly an integral part of the Lincoln School learning community and play a huge role in ensuring all students learn and grow!

Outdoor Recess Guidelines
We use zero degrees actual temp and -10 Feels Like temps as a "guideline" as to whether or not we go outside for recess.
The “feels like” temperature, compared to wind chill, has been described as a slightly more accurate estimate of how it actually feels outside considering wind, humidity, and other factors - this is sometimes referred to as the ‘apparent temperature.’ As we become acclimated to temps, we will sometimes operate just outside of our guidelines based on conditions such as wind direction, sunshine, humidity, etc. If students have been inside for many indoor recesses, we may have them bundle up and go outside, even if it is for a short time. Our first consideration is safety, and then comfort.
