On January 22, 2021, the Tennessee General Assembly enacted the Tennessee Learning Loss Remediation and Student Acceleration Act (SB 7002/HB 7004) to address the learning loss of students due to COVID-19 related school closures. Through this new law, all school districts in Tennessee will be required to offer learning loss remediation summer programs for students in grades K-8, starting in summer 2021.
In Lincoln County, we will be offering a Summer Learning Camp for Students that are rising 1st-5th graders and a Summer Bridge Camp for rising 6th-8th graders. The summer camps will provide daily instruction in reading/language arts and mathematics plus activities in science/technology/the arts/physical education. Services include breakfast, lunch and transportation. The camps will run 8 AM to 3 PM four days per week. The state has set criteria for those eligible for the program. Additional information will be provided by your child's schools based on academic eligibility.
Student of the Month
Teacher of the Month Mrs. Amber Lindsey
From Mrs. Amber: I am so thankful to be teaching at my home school. I started out as a Bobcat in Kindergarten. I received my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Tennessee Tech University. I recently completed my graduate studies at Middle Tennessee State University.
Experience: This is my sixth year teaching at Flintville School. I currently teach fourth grade Math, but I have also taught third grade.
I am married to Stephen Lindsey. We do not have any children, but we do have one spoiled rotten dog named Lou Lou.
Academics
Math - Students are reviewing the major skills of fourth grade Math to be prepared to become fifth graders soon. They are putting their multiplication skills to work in order for Math fluency to continue to improve.
ELA- Students are currently reviewing major skills. However, they are also working on commonly misspelled words and their writing skills.
Science - They are currently studying how humans impact their environment. Such as pollution, waste, recycling, and many other major impacts on their environment.
Social Studies - As they wrap up Social Studies for the year, students will discover how the Civil War impacted their country and how reconstruction shaped the country they live in today.
From the Principal
Mrs. Terri's Tips
I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know how much I appreciate your dedication and support this year. We are wrapping up our state TCAP testing and because of high attendance, our participation rate has definitely exceeded our minimum goal. Even though this school year has been full of ups and downs with sickness, quarantines, and virtual learning Flintville Nation has made it through because of the dedication and support of our students, teachers, parents, and community. I hope that the upcoming summer break gives everyone much-needed rest, relaxation, and family time that is well deserved!
Counselor's Corner
Getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress, exercising, making time to have fun, and maintaining good hygiene can help keep your child present at school while helping them enjoy it as well !
Healthy Habits
Daily healthy habits are helpful to prepare for all of the situations a child may encounter throughout the day: disruptions at home, concentrating, peer relations, studying, managing obstacles, and dealing with changes.
Watch for Signs of Anxiety and Stress
Homework, tests, social pressures—kids can face a lot of stressful situations every day. Research shows that stress and anxiety can have a negative impact on kids' health.
It's actually fairly common for kids to experience stress and anxiety.
It’s important for children to learn what helps them de-stress. For some kids this might mean writing in a journal, playing a board game, going for walk, talking to a trusted adult, or playing with friends.
Sleep
Getting enough sleep is a crucial part of staying healthy and functioning well in school. In fact, studies show that missing sleep can impact kids in a number of ways. Lack of sleep can lead to poor concentration, obesity, depression, and injuries.
Sleep also plays a role in how well students perform in school, too.
Getting adequate sleep also can prepare kids for the stresses they experience throughout the day. Make sure you establish a schedule and stick to a regular bedtime.
Even older kids can benefit from having a set bedtime. Keep the same bedtime schedule and routine.
Brain-Boosting Breakfast
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day when it comes to school kids. A balanced breakfast of protein and complex carbohydrates has been shown to be important for brain function as well as for maintaining a steady level of energy throughout the day.
Studies show that eating breakfast has a positive effect on cognitive performance, especially when it comes to memory and attention.
