Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to the SAT Math Review Course at NCLS!
My name is Lijia, and I am a Newton South High School math teacher. Before that, I taught at Shanghai High School International Division and went to Harvard Graduate School of Education to pursue my M. Ed in Learning and Teaching (Instructional Leadership in Math). During my spare time, I love to cook, do Chinese Brush Painting, and play Zither. It is my great pleasure to review SAT math with you at Newton Community Education, and I look forward to our learning journey!
Here is a to-do-list for everyone:

We will meet in Rm 220 at 3:30 pm every Sunday. During our first class, we will review the linear equation in one variable. Bring your pencil, Chromebook/Laptop, calculator, and notebook to class. Most importantly, bring YOU, an authentic you to our group. Your wisdom, insights, and energy will add value to this learning community!
On the first day of school (9/7, Sunday), I would like to invite all parents to come to class at 3:40 pm (10 minutes before class ends) to have a brief meeting. I will share the class expectations and norms, and answer any questions you may have.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can’t wait to meet you all soon!
Sincerely,
Ms. Li
