CIVICS SKILLS MASTERED at CEEC!
On March 24, 2021, Aisha Al-Jarei completed the 107 question Civics Skills Test with flying colors! She joins her fellow classmates Abier Elganzoury, Nadia Kistas, Beatriz DeLaTorre and Dina Amro. All students received a special gift: an American flag. We are so proud of their accomplishment as they stretched the limits of their knowledge of English, Spelling, and U. S. History in order to successfully pass the test. Great job!
HUDSON CENTER SHINNING STARS!

Congratulations to Antonina Z., Olexsandr P., and Cristina Gargia for passing their 20 Question Civics Test! Other ESL Students are also preparing to take their tests soon. Congratulations to all the students who have successfully passed!
This month, ESL students enjoyed learning about National Holidays in America and comparing these to holidays in their home countries. Did you know that Poland's Independence Day is November 11, the same day Americans celebrate Veteran's Day? Moreover, ESL students are learning how to use O*Net to complete individual career plans. Students are exploring various careers and jobs. We are proud of how well the students are completing tasks even though English is their second language.
March was a Major Math Month at the New Castle County Learning Center! How could it not be when we celebrate Pi Day on 3/14? NCCLC currently has a number of students who only need to pass the GED® Math Test to earn a GED® credential. It was rewarding and inspiring to see the amazing efforts and progress made by our students this month as they worked remotely in math Zoom lessons and during one-on-one or small group sessions with a focus on Algebra and Geometry. In addition, students received instruction on how to use the GED-approved calculator. NCCLC had one student pass the math test this month to earn his GED credential, and we are confident that many of his classmates will soon be celebrating with him!
