The -ber Months

Welcome to Lincoln at a Glance! Here’s some trivia for you. What country celebrates Christmas for four months out of the year?

a. Philippines
b. Mexico
c. Italy
d. Australia

The answer is a) Philippines! They call them the -ber months (the months that end in -ber, which is also the sound you make when you’re cold). The celebrating starts in September and ends in December. So if you’re an early Christmas celebrator, here is an awesome excuse for you. A friendly reminder: please keep your celebrations to yourself until after Thanksgiving, which is the legal deadline for public displays of Christmas cheer here in the United States.

Potential New Books for the Curriculum

Lincoln Academy has received a request from teachers and our librarian to add books to our approved curriculum list. These books will be either used as classroom curriculum or part of our Battle of the Books program.

We value the input of our parents and have an established process that allows for parental input before curriculum is adopted. The book list attached to this email will be considered for approval at the Lincoln Academy October 24th Board meeting.

If you would like to review a copy you can do so in person at the Lincoln Academy Library.

Any concerns about books can be shared with Mrs. Ungerman- [email protected] and the board [email protected]
