Welcome to Grade 1!

In 1st Grade, my goal is to make sure each child feels safe, happy and comfortable. In our classroom we work hard, try to do our best and discover new adventures daily.  It's an exciting year as we begin to expand our reading, writing and math skills.  We learn to work independently, and also, learn how to work as team members.

The class does a variety of activities including hands on experiments, problem solving, and different strategies to ensure learning. Each child is recognized as an individual and is treated fairly. Making new friends and having fun is very important in our room! We'd love for you to join our first grade family!
