Week of November 9 - 13

                                 


It is hard to believe that we have finished our first Trimester.  You will be receiving your child’s report card on Friday, November 13th.  Please sign the white copy and return it to your child’s teacher.  The gray copy is for you to keep for your records.


As the second trimester begins, there will be a lot more reading expected of your Kindergartener on a daily basis.  It is important that they continue to practice their sight words daily as this helps improve their confidence and increase their vocabulary.  Please remember that all sight words assessments are cumulative from the beginning of the school year!  Your child will also start bringing home reading books from their groups...our goal is for the books to be read several times for fluency and comprehension.  These books belong to NCCS so please take extra care with them and return them promptly.



Next Tuesday, we will be doing a Community Service Project for all Lower School students during chapel.  Kindergarten students should wear their blue Kindergarten t-shirt and jeans on Tuesday, November 10th.
