Parents,
First, thank you for choosing NLCA for your child’s education. Each week this year, you will receive a newsletter from me. This will have all the information you need for the upcoming week. You will find things like important dates, spelling lists, sight words to practice, our Scripture to memorize, and reading assignments for each evening. We will not start our spelling tests this week or have reading homework, but we will very soon. Please message me using our Class Dojo if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Mrs. Willis

Scripture
Please help your child memorize the highlighted portion of this Bible Verse.
I will start them out by saying the beginning of the verse and they will need to finish it.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
