This week is already midpoint of the second quarter which only leaves us a hand full of teaching days until the Holiday break. It´s hard to believe! With the end of the semester just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to look at your child’s academic program with a critical eye, probing for areas that need to be fine-tuned. Have you followed through on the improvement plan you developed during your parent-teacher conference? Has your child followed through on the improvement plan you developed during your parent-teacher conference? Is your child up to date on all homework? Have you asked your child if all assignments are up to date? Are you happy with your child’s overall sentiments about school? If you answered NO to any of these questions, it’s time to get things back on track! Give us a call and schedule a meeting with the classroom teacher. Preventive maintenance should play an important role in your family’s academic plan. For the leadership team, these next couple of weeks will be especially busy as it is the official start to the recruiting season. The principals and I are preparing to attend our regional AASSA job fair following the Thanksgiving weekend. It’s an exciting event and critical to the continuation of our excellent school program. Rest assured that we’ll be looking for next year’s batch of first-rate teachers who can carry on the great progress made this year. Leading up to the fair, teacher teams in each division will be skype interviewing potential candidates and passing on the top finalists to be interviewed by the principals and myself. It’s a long process to review CV’s, interview candidates, and perform critical background checks. We have your children in mind as we are at the AASSA recruiting fair looking for the best of the best, those inspirational few who are ready to join the ranks of our community. Have a great weekend while keeping safe and sane. Mike Martell, Superintendent Friday Flash Page 2 November 14, 2014 All School News Dear Parents, If you are permanently leaving Lincoln at the end of this semester, please download the Initial Withdrawal Form from the website.

Any records left behind will be forwarded to you if you provide this information on the Initial Withdrawal Form. Please contact me if you have any questions about the withdrawal process. Thank you. Claudia Pacha, Admissions Registrar Christmas for Everyone Sponsored by the Lincoln High School Community Service Club Our goal is to “share” a meal during the Holiday Season with local families from La Lucila, Barrio La Rana, Barrio Martin y Omar, en San Isidro and a school in Salta. We are ambitiously aiming to provide 150 families with holiday boxes. HOW DO YOU VOLUNTEER? Get together a group of people (family, friends, colleagues, class, advisory group) and email silvina.lopez.fernandez@lincoln.edu.ar before Friday, November 21st. Let her know how many boxes you want to prepare. On Wednesday, November 26, you will be matched with a family (you will be given: family name, members, gender and age of the kids in the family). Please bear in mind that your word of intent to participate in this project implies a commitment. HOW TO PREPARE A HOLIDAY BOX 1. Get a heavy and durable box, properly sealed with packing tape and fill up with items from the list below. 2. Make sure that the heavy items are in the corners and weight is evenly distributed. 3. Once all items have been placed in the box, if there is any room left over, fill it up with folded, shredded or balled up newspaper for shipping. Boxes are being shipped as far away as Salta so this is very important. 4. Close the box, making sure to use an abundant amount of packing tape. 5. Wrap the box in colorful holiday paper or decorated plain paper as if you were wrapping a present. LIST OF ITEMS: Friday Flash Page 3 November 14, 2014 Remember that we are trying to provide the non-perishable items that families typically need for traditional Argentine holiday meals. The estimated value of the basic box is between 350-400 pesos. For a fuller box, estimate between 550 and 600 pesos. • Salty snacks such as chips, sticks and cheese puffs • 6 to 8 Packages of Powdered Juice (no bottles, bricks or alcoholic beverages) • Large Cans of Fruit (2) • Grated Parmesan type Cheese (1 package) • Tomato Sauce (1 package or can) • Pasta or ñoqui mix (1 package) • Rice (1 kg) • Paté (3 cans) • Pound Cakes (2) • Cans of Tuna (2) • Dulce de Leche (1 kg) • Pan Dulce (1) • Mixed Vegetables (2 cans) • Shelf Milk (1 litre) • Candied peanuts (2 packages) • Mayonnaise (1 500 g bag) • Turron Logs (2) • Christmas Napkins • Family game (Bingo, dominoes, cards, balls) • Small Educational Gift for each child (book, coloring book with crayons, or activity book - must be in Spanish) Suggestions to complement the box: *Yerba (1 kg) • Powdered milk (1 kg) • Cocoa Mix / Nesquick (1/2 kg) • Sugar (1 kg) • Cookies and Crackers • Candy • Ornament for the tree DROPPING OFF YOUR BOX Your box(es) should be dropped off at Lincoln ONLY during the week (Monday through Friday) of December 1 to December 5. Boxes should be dropped at the Front Gate (from 7:15 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.) or High School Office (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). The boxes will be delivered to families on December 16. We will let you know details for if you want to come with us to personally give your boxes. Thanks for your support with our Community Service program! . How stress affects our life? As adults, we tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. What could they possibly have to worry about? Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Sources of Stress Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize. These demands often come from outside sources, such as family, jobs, friends, or school. But it also can come from within, often related to what we think we should be doing versus what we're actually able to do. - In preschoolers, separation from parents can cause anxiety. - As kids get older, academic and social pressures (especially from trying to fit in) create stress. - Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school. Friday Flash Page 4 November 14, 2014 - Kids' stress may be intensified by more than just what's happening in their own lives. World news can cause stress. Also, complicating factors, such as an illness, death of a loved one, or a divorce. Signs and Symptoms It's not always easy to recognize when kids are stressed out. These are some of the symptoms: • Short-term behavioral changes, such as mood swings, acting out, changes in sleep patterns, or bedwetting. • Trouble concentrating or completing schoolwork. Others might become withdrawn or spend a lot of time alone. • Physical effects, including stomachaches and headaches. • Pick up new habits like thumb sucking, hair twirling, or nose picking; older kids may begin to lie, bully, or defy authority. • Nightmares, difficulty leaving parents, overreactions to minor problems, and drastic changes in academic performance. How can I cope with and prevent stress? Stress is a part of life, but the healthier you are, the better you’ll manage stress when it happens. #1: Avoid unnecessary stress Not all stress can be avoided, and it’s not healthy to avoid a situation that needs to be addressed. You may be surprised, however, by the number of stressors in your life that you can eliminate. #2: Alter the situation If you can’t avoid a stressful situation, try to alter it. Figure out what you can do to change things so the problem doesn’t present itself in the future. Often, this involves changing the way you communicate and operate in your daily life. #3: Adapt to the stressor If you can’t change the stressor, change yourself. You can adapt to stressful situations and regain your sense of control by changing your expectations and attitude. #4: Accept the things you can’t change Some sources of stress are unavoidable. You can’t prevent or change stressors such as the death of a loved one, a serious illness, or a national recession. In such cases, the best way to cope with stress is to accept things as they are. Acceptance may be difficult, but in the long run, it’s easier than railing against a situation you can’t change. #5: Make time for fun and relaxation Beyond a take-charge approach and a positive attitude, you can reduce stress in your life by nurturing yourself. If you regularly make time for fun and relaxation, you’ll be in a better place to handle life’s stressors. #6: Adopt a healthy lifestyle You can increase your resistance to stress by strengthening your physical health. Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, reduce caffeine and sugar, avoid alcohol, cigarettes, drugs and get enough sleep. Elementary School News! Brad McClain Principal Brad.McClain@lincoln.edu.ar Greetings from the Elementary School Principal’s Office! We have certainly been busy since the last Friday Flash. Math Morning was celebrated today. Our internal and external (MAP) testing results illustrate very positive, above expected norm, Math results for our students. We have found EveryDay Math to give our students a very strong conceptual base as well as supporting and strengthening creativity. Math Morning was a wonderful way to learn more about our EveryDay Math program and to play, with your child(ren), the educational Math games which are integrated into the program. In order to promote positive school spirit and a connection to this year’s theme: “Care, Share, and Be Fair!” we are also recognizing random acts of kindness. Come see how these random positive acts are being celebrated on our RAK tree outside of the Library. Friday Flash Page 5 November 14, 2014 Our teachers love to teach! They love to direct learning! To do this, consistent student attendance is essential. I cannot begin to tell you the number of teachers from whom I received these connected comments. We really value our teaching time and so we ask your full support in having your children in school all day long, every day for the remainder of the semester and the school year. Missed instructional time is also compounded by the missed learning opportunities that take place during directed peer interaction. Let’s work together to make full use of our resources. On Monday 17 November our Physical Education classes will be all wet! We will begin to have PE Classes in the Lincoln pool. Swimming is such a wonderful example of a life skill which promotes physical and emotional health. Lincoln School is fortunate to have the facilities and teachers to make this happen. Proficiency and confidence in swimming are positive characteristics which go hand in hand. As swimming is an integral part of the P.E. curriculum, it is important that your child be prepared to swim for every scheduled class. If your child cannot swim due to a medical condition, please provide a doctor’s excuse. Otherwise, we will encourage all students to swim! Click on this link to find more information about the Lincoln Elementary School Swim Program. Next week will end with two big events. On Friday 21 November, all of Grade 1 will be hosting our Fabulous Friday and a “Wax Museum” presentation of historic autobiographies will be hosted by our 5th graders. Reading autobiographies can help us to learn more about ourselves. Here is an interesting blog on leadership and learning entitled Five Reasons to Read More Biographies. Both events are open to all parents and will take place in the Auditorium. The Fabulous Friday happens at 8:00AM. The wax museum will take place from 11:00 to 11:50AM. Don’t miss either! Have a wonderful weekend! Elementary & Middle School Library Susan Voracek ES/MS Librarian susan.voracek@lincoln.edu.ar SPANISH COLLECTION VISITS It´s time to return library books. Next week all elementary students will be visiting the library with their Spanish teachers. We are asking that all students return their library books at the beginning of the week. This will allow them to take full advantage of our Spanish collection. Susan Voracek, Elementary Middle School Librarian Greetings From the Elementary School Counselor Kathryn Manu Kathryn.Manu@lincoln.edu.ar At our parent coffee last week, Gita Sriram, a Lincoln parent entrenched in the digital world, shared a compelling presentation about digital citizenship. For those that were not able to attend the coffee and/or wanted to look at the material in greater detail, you can access her presentation here: http://www.lincoln.edu.ar/es_counseling/index.html (go to the Events link and scroll down ) EMPOWERING BYSTANDERS TO BECOME UPSTANDERS Friday Flash Page 6 November 14, 2014 One of the important topics that I have been discussing with students in counseling classes is that of becoming an “upstander” – someone who stands up and gets involved when others are being treated in a hurtful way, as opposed to just standing by and doing nothing. Some of the things that we encourage the children to do, to be an upstander, are:  Don't laugh or encourage the bully in any way  Stay at a safe distance and help the target get away  Don’t become an "audience" for the bully  Reach out in friendship  Very confidentially say this isn’t cool or funny to the bully (if you feel comfortable doing so)  Sit with the target at lunch or in class (especially after an incident)  Support the victim in private  Include the victim in some of your activities  Tell an adult in confidence As adults in the lives of our children, here are some ways we can then empower bystanders to become upstanders: • Encourage empathy. • Talk to your child about what to do if they see bullying. • Role play responses to specific situations • Help to understand tattling is different from reporting • Behave with kindness, integrity and courage yourself. Teach your child to value these traits in others. • Reinforce accepting personal responsibility for choices • Normalize fears and worries. • Emphasize strength in numbers. • Communicate the expectation to take action. • Teach skills and strategies to take a stand. • Notice and acknowledge caring behaviors. www.stopbullyingnow.com “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~ Maya Angelou Middle School News! Jeff Voracek Jeff.Voracek@lincoln.edu.ar GRADE 8 SEMESTER EXAMINATIONS Grade 8 semester examinations are scheduled from December 11 - 15. Semester exams will be given during a 90 minute examination period. Semester examinations count 10% of the semester grade. Semester examinations will not be given early. Thursday, Dec. 11 2 exams Friday, Dec. 12 2 exams Monday. Dec. 15 2 exams English/Language Arts Science Social Studies Est. Sociales Span. Transition SSL Lengua Span. Transition SSL Algebra/Pre-Algebra Friday Flash Page 7 November 14, 2014 GRADES 6 AND 7 END OF QUARTER EXAMINATIONS/PROJECTS Grade 6 and 7 students will have end of quarter examination / project in their core subjects (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Lengua and Est. Sociales). Core subject teachers are expected to plan a culminating exam/project from December 11 -15. The examinations will be held during regular class time from December 11-15. End of quarter examination grades will be incorporated into the 2 nd quarter grade. SPANISH DEPARTMENT Every year, grade 6 SSL new students led by Ms. Masutti, carry out an activity which helps students incorporate vocabulary and grammar structures related to the topic of food. The activity involves going to a neighborhood supermarket with the purpose of buying food to cook in class. During the visit, students read the labels of the products, ask the staff for information, choose products, look for prices and offers, and learn how to manage Argentine currency and pay the bill (interaction with the cashiers). Then they come back to school, put everything together, and prepare the recipes. The result of this experience is very positive. Students show great interest and learn hand on. An interesting article related to this is one published in the British newspaper, The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/dec/04/digital-language-kitchen-paul-seedhouse http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2011/dec/04/digital-language-kitchen-paul-seedhouse High School News!

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL “SPAMALOT” Come laugh a lot at with the Lincoln High School Arts Department and Spamalot, the musical lovingly ripped off from the internationally renowned comedy team’s most popular film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A huge cast of the brightest stars at Lincoln, wonderful singers, our top musicians, and best technicians make up the delightfully zany Monty Python's Spamalot, running in the theatre November 20 at 7pm, Nov. 21 at 7pm, and Nov. 22 at 3pm. This highly irreverent parody of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the recipient of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical and fourteen Tony Award nominations. The Lincoln Arts brings you a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit and more madcap mirth than a headless knight! Tickets are available in the mansion. BASKETBALL SEASON BEGINS Girls’ and boys’ high school basketball practices start next week, beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
