CNG Primary School CCN: #5 - SEPTEMBER 10, 2023

We would like to kick off the Proyecto Vida program this year with a PS and ES parent session in the Cafetorium on Monday, September 18 from 7:15-8:15. We will be sharing detailed information about this valuable, parent-led character education program. Classroom Parent Reps are asked to remain for an additional 30 minutes, until 8:45, to receive a more in-depth training. We hope you can all join us!

Proyecto Vida/Parenting for Life is an interactive program that involves parents/guardians in Character for Life, CNG´s cross disciplinary and comprehensive approach, to purposefully shape our students’ character in alignment with our Core Values. The lessons are carried out thanks to the participation of parent volunteers from each classroom through small skits and activities. Let's continue strengthening the home-school partnership!

House Families & PTA Friendship Day

On Friday, September 15th, we will celebrate PTA Friendship Day. To celebrate this day, PS students will come together with their respective house families to engage in an activity focused on the exploration of kindness. The primary objective of this event is to foster a sense of community and belonging among our students, while also facilitating the growth of their character through activities aligned with our Core Values. We encourage our students to proudly wear their house t-shirts and/or hoodies to join in the celebration.

Parent University

Join us for a Literacy Workshop led by our international consultant, Vincent Ventura, dedicated to providing parents with tools to support their children as readers and writers. Learn effective strategies for cultivating a love for literature and fostering a strong foundation for lifelong learning. This workshop will provide you with insights into understanding your child's unique literary journey and creating a nurturing environment at home. 

Date: Thursday, September 14th

Time: 7:30am-9:00am

Place: Cafetorium (1st floor)

Yearbook (Andean) Photos

We are thrilled to inform you that our upcoming yearbook (Andean) photo day is approaching fast! On this day, students are not required to wear their formal uniforms. If they have a P.E. class that day, they are welcome to come to school dressed in the CNG sweatpants and hoodie. Your child´s homeroom teacher will let you know the date, but keep in mind pictures will be happening during September 12, 13, and 14.

1st Grade Picnic

Please note that the 1st-grade picnic has been rescheduled to Thursday, October 5th.

                                                                                                              

If your child is bookworm, an avid reader, or simply someone who enjoys a good book, here is a great opportunity to help their friends discover amazing books and earn House points! This is how it works:

      1.     Pick a book. Below are some ideas for every month. 

      2.     Choose a part he/she enjoyed and draw a picture.

      3.     Write a sentence explaining why he/she liked the story. Why was it special? What connections were made?

      4.     Share the recommendation at the Library by adding it to Our Book Recommendation Binder.

 Let’s create a buzz about reading around Primary and introduce others to new worlds, exciting adventures, and inspiring characters. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to explore books recommended by others and discover something new to read.
