Dear Teachers,
It was very nice to get together again at NCLS last Sunday after the spring break. Teachers, TAs and the parents were very happy to catch up with each other; the school has been filled with enthusiastic and warmth of friendship. NCLS is a big family to us all.
Here are the notes for this week:
Classroom time:
Some young students had “finished” their classroom works early last Sunday, and started running around in the school building before the class period was over. Please make sure that your students have enough classroom learning activity to do and stay inside the classroom before the session period is over. The first period is 2:00pm to 3:30pm, the second period is 3:40pm to 5:00pm.
Conference/Training announcement:
The conference below is being hosted at UMASS Boston. Some of our teachers have attended the previous one in last November, and have learned a lot. Here we are forwarding the email announcement-
