Hello, Grade One Families!

Welcome to the beginning of a new, exciting and busy year!

I hope everyone is ready for the return of school, home reading and busy schedules!

Grade One is such an exciting year, there is so much to learn and every minute counts. This year your child will have their own desk and chair and be responsible for filing their own work in their duotangs and will grow closer to God by participating in school prayer, Masses, and completing activities in their Call To Faith book. A major focus of Grade One is developing your child’s literacy skills, developing their reading, and moving from “phonetic” to “proper” spelling. In Math, your child will learn to tell time, count money, add and subtract to 20/25 and many more things. Learning about our community and our world through Science and Social Studies themes is both explorative and exciting! Through these and many, many other experiences your child will work towards becoming a confident and independent learner by the end of the school year in June! WOW!

Please find attached the Grade One Meet the Teacher handout, the class schedule along with a short video about Grade One.

After reading through the materials, if you have any questions the Grade One teachers are available to answer them on our virtual Google Meet on Monday between 5:00-5:30

I’m sure we are going to have an awesome year!

Many Blessings,
