Weekly Update for March 29th-April 2nd, 2021

Dear Parents and Families, 

Happy Thursday! I hope that asynchronous learning is going smoothly for the students today. If you should need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me through email.  

Looking ahead to next week, Monday March 29th will be our make-up picture day. If students would like to bring a change of clothes for the rest of the day that is completely acceptable. 

Also, Friday, April 2nd school will be closed in observance of the Good Friday Holiday, kicking off the start to Spring Break.  Spring Break will be April 5th-9th.  Students will return Monday, April 12th.  It's hard to belive that we are approaching April, this school year is flying by!

Have a great weekend, and I look forward to another great week of learning at LCEU!

Sincerely

Mrs. Dina Knight  

Weekly Update for March 22nd-26th, 2021

 Dear Parents and Families, 

Happy Friday!  I am so glad to be back with the students in the classroom today.  We are celebrating college colors day at our school today and I wanted to share the picture above to show off some colleges that were represented in class today. 

Looking ahead to next week, our district recently sent out a communication informing our parents that next Thursday the 25h and Friday the 26th will be asynchronous learning days.  Asynchronous learning means I will not be online with the students but they will be learning and working independently at home virtually  on a Google Slide pathway for each day.  Students will access the pathway at 9 a.m. each day and work at their own pace. No new material will be introduced, assignments will focus on reviewing past topics covered.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to me.  I am always here to help. 

Sincerely

Mrs. Dina Knight

Weekly Update for March 8th-12th, 2021

 Dear Parents and Families, 

Happy Friday!  We had a great week in room C115 and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sunshine this week. Thank you to those who sent in supplies this week for our edible soil activity.  You will see from the pictures, that the student's most definitely enjoyed the yummy treat and it was a great review tool for our unit on soil. 

I want to brag on the students for a moment, if you dont mind.  A few weeks back I met with students individually as we discussed their MAP testing scores from December and we set goals to reach for in the spring.  Each student listed strategies they intended to use to reach those goals, and this week each one of them worked diligently to pave the way to make their goals. I am so proud of them and they hard work they put forth this week. They are AMAZING! (We will take Spring MAP on April 19th and 20th.) 

Looking ahead to next week, we will begin a new math unit on fractions, and a new social studies unit on different cultures around the world.  In reading, we will also begin a new unit on problem and solution text structures.  

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Don't forget next Friday, March 12th is a school holiday!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dina Knight
