A Teacher’s Heart
A teacher’s heart has many rooms.
Each needs a different key.
Love and caring unbolt some compartments.
Faith and prayer find a way into others.
Patience and compassion pick the locks
Of tightly shuttered windows,
Letting in the light of hope and encouragement.
Only then can lives be changed; teachers’ and students’,
Forever.

Please note:
- Vacation benefit can only be used if you indicate “NO” for the entire week.You are always responsible for your regular weekly tuition unless you take the entire week as your vacation benefit.
- If you indicate “YES” by February 10th and your child does not attend you must pay regular tuition for that week.
- If you fail to indicate your intentions we will assume that your child will be in attendance therefore you will be charged full tuition.

I hope that you and your family have recovered from the holidays and have settled into work and school again. I know I usually get settled in just in time for February vacation. Winter is such a great season! A lot of nature seems to sleep or just take a break. I hope you and your family have an opportunity to enjoy some times to take a break this winter and remember that God loves you.
Please continue to ask your children about the Bible papers and crafts they bring home. It will help them to remember. They are also learning Bible verses and songs. I am sure they would love to tell you or sing for you.
Two Great Events in February: 2 events to look forward to:
- LegoTM Building Block Family Fun Day hosted by Community Chapel- this Saturday, February 4th (Snow Date – February 11th), from 1:30-3:30, in the Fellowship Hall at the church – we are going to have so much fun! There will be lots of activities – games, crafts, snacks! Please come!
- Chapel – February 7th and 8th from 9:30-10:00 in the Fellowship Hall, parents, grandparents are welcome.
A Request: If there are any changes in your family, please let me know. Changes in the family, even the loss of a well-loved pet, can deeply affect a child. We would like to be aware so that we can help your child through this difficult time. And, I would like to pray for you and your child and help you in any way that I or Community Chapel can help.
If you have any questions about my role at NCLC, helping your child develop his/her relationship with God, or any family concerns, please call me at NCLC, 603-883-4356 or email at pastorshirley@community-chapel.org .

Nancy’s Notes
Dear Parents,
This month in music class we have been working on our singing skills. We play several different games where I ask the children to find the pitch that I am singing in their own voice and see if they can match mine. The development of the ability to sing in tune is different for every child, and it is exciting to watch their progress. The little ones start out just making short singing sounds when I start singing. The 2 and 3 year-olds sing some of the pitches of the song in tune – especially the last few notes of a phrase, and even if they aren’t singing in tune yet, many of them can follow the contour of the song – their voice goes up when the notes of the song go up, etc. Many of the 4-6 year-olds are starting to be able to sing entire songs in tune, and they are much more confident in their singing voices.
We have also been having fun playing my 1/16 size violin – the perfect size for preschoolers! Not every child has had a chance to play it yet, so I will be bringing it back next month, along with my flute. I am having so much fun making music with your children!
Happy Singing!
Nancy
