First Grade is one of the most important grades your child will experience.

First Grade is the year they truly learn to read and begin their journey of reading to learn.

The key to a successful school year is building a strong foundational relationship with students and their families along with creating a trusting, caring, and supportive learning environment.

My goal is to continue developing active, informed, and contributing global citizens in the 21st century.

In our classroom, first graders become leaders.
As speakers, we become confident voices.
As listeners, we become understanding.
As readers, we become master decoders.
As writers, we become authors and illustrators.
As mathematicians, we become problem solvers.
As scientists, we become curious.
As community members, we become informed, compassionate, and socially responsible citizens.
