Weekly Update for November 21st-22nd, 2017

Dear Parents and Families,
This week has been an exciting week and one that I will not forget. On Wednesday, both the class and I received the announcement that I was voted Teacher of the Year for our campus. It felt incredible to recognized by my peers but it felt even more incredible to hear and see how proud the students in my class were. We celebrated and enjoyed every bit of the moment. Thank you so very much for sharing your children with me, I love what I do and cherish the time I spend in the classroom with your student.   I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to a short but productive week next week here at LCEU!

Sincerely
Mrs. Dina Knight

Weekly Update for November 13th-17th, 2017

Dear Parents and Families,

Our week went well in C115. We ended our week with 2 big events, one being the visit from Fossil Frank and the other being our Veteran's Day Celebration. Our visit from Fossil Frank really intrigued the student's thinking about how life was so very different during the time that Frank's fossils were discovered. This field study provided a great parallel discussion to our science focus on habitats and also social studies as well with the various land regions in South Carolina and what fossils might be found in those regions depending on their location. So many connections to learning!

Fossil Frank was followed by our Veteran's Day celebration which honored the brave men and women who protect and serve our great nation. The students loved the Hero's parade which gave them an opportunity to show their thanks and appreciation as the Veterans and their families paraded through the grade level halls. What an amazing way to wrap up our week!

I will end this week's Blog Post with a very sincere Thank-You to all the Veterans and their families who sacrifice so much for our country. Without such brave men and women, our country would not enjoy the blanket of freedom that has been afforded to us by our amazing military. May you all enjoy the weekend!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dina Knight

Dear Parents and Families,

Happy Friday!  I wanted to let each of you know that communication folders are going home today and your student's report card will be located inside them. If your student made the Honor Roll, Third grade Honor Roll recognition will be on Wednesday, November 8th at 8:10 Upstairs in our Media Center.  With the first quarter behind us, the students and I plan to work hard in the second quarter and plan to not just make our goals but pass them!  Thank you all for all your support from home, I truly could not do what I do without your incredible support. 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
