Weekly Update for Oct. 30th-Nov. 3rd, 2017

Dear Parents and Families,

The students and I worked diligently to close our units of study to finalize grades for reports cards that are coming home next week on Friday, Nov. 3rd. It's hard to believe the 1st quarter of the school year is behind us, and I am eager to see the growth your student will experience during the 2nd quarter. During our morning meeting, the students and I discussed the importance of taking our school work seriously and I am so thankful that you as parents take this serious as well and provide your up most support at home. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to another great week here at Lake Carolina Elementary Upper Campus!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dina Knight

Weekly Update for October 23rd-27th, 2017

Dear Parents and Families,

I am sending out the blog a bit early due to Friday being a school holiday. While this was a short week, classroom C115 was very productive! The students and I began a  new unit of study in math with our focus being measuring capacity with milliliters and liters. Next week we will end our units on Temperate Forest and Native Americans with an end of unit assessment for each. Our science assessment on Forests will be Friday and our social studies assessment on Native Americans will be Thursday. Students will be encouraged nightly to study for each by bringing home text books along with their interactive notebooks. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I hope you all enjoy your long weekend and I look forward to a great week next week!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dina Knight 

Update for October 16th-20th, 2017

Dear Parents and Families,

Happy Friday!  I have several announcements for the week to keep us all on the same page and ensure your student success. My first announcement is that communication folders are coming home today in book bags. In the folder, there are weekly grades along with fall pictures and our Veteran's Day Celebration RSVP. Our Veteran's Day Celebration will be held Friday, November 10th, 2017. Our celebration will include a breakfast that will begin at 7:30 and end with a hero parade at 8:45. If someone in your family is active duty military or a veteran, please encourage him/her to join us for our celebration. Students of the family member are encouraged to have breakfast and walk in the parade as well. The parade will be held inside and will cover 3rd, 4th and 5th grade halls. Only veterans, active duty military and students who belong to those individuals will be walking in the parade. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. My next announcement is concerning parent conferences. If you do not see a time on our sign up website that fits your schedule, please contact me and I will arrange something that works. I am very flexible and will accommodate any scheduling conflicts. I have bombarded you all with a tremendous amount of information, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dina Knight

Dear Parents and Families,

Happy Friday! Starting on Friday, I will begin conducting parent conferences before and after school. I used the website signup.com and sent out the link on Wednesday. If you do not see a time that is convenient for your schedule, please let me know and I will work with you to find a time that does work. I can even conference over the phone if needed. I am looking forward to meeting with you all!


Sincerely,
Mrs. Dina Knight
