NWCS Weekly Newsletter – 1/9

Dear NWCS families,
 
We will have class this Saturday and then final exam for some classes on the 16th with graduation ceremony and performance starting at 10:30 am. 
 
Chinese New Year celebration performance rehearsal
Our vice principal Mr. Ping-Chuan Wang along with counselor Mr. Kenny Soohoo and board member Mr. Harry Villareal will be at the high school auditorium running the second (also last) performance rehearsal. If you wish to have an early peek and may be helping out, please feel free to stop by. It is really a team effort to ensure the programs go smoothly. We are grateful that NWCS parents are always eager to help.  
 
Luncheon survey
With the change of our graduation and celebration to Jan 16, we would like to find out how many families can attend and maybe help with homemade dishes. Kay and Vivian can then plan ahead to make sure we don’t run out of food. It takes 30 seconds to fill the survey here http://goo.gl/forms/d5QNXw7Q4q so please respond.  
 
Seminar in Chinese 如何培育杰出的第二代
Westchester Chinese Christian Church 將在1/10和2/28舉辦「如何培育杰出的第二代」講座，時間是從下午1:30至3:30。講員周逸駒本身是華裔1.5代，並有20年輔導華裔青少年的經驗。他很願意利用這個機會和我們附近的華人父母談談教養下一代的問題。関於講座內容及講員簡介，請參閲http://wcccnyschool.org
 
Sample lessons from 華語小學堂 Chinese Wonderland 
We put a few sample lessons from Chinese Wonderland from books 1, 2 and 5 at https://sis.nwcsny.org/ChineseWonderland/. Please click in to get a feel about the new textbook series we are hoping to phase in starting spring. The web pages are animations with sound using a web technology called Adobe Shockwave. The majority of web browsers on laptops already support Shockwave although few tablets can run it. So please use a computer to view the lessons.
Your principal,
Yuan-Chi Chang 張元極
