In Room 33, we operate as a classroom family. We focus daily on building a supportive community where mistakes are celebrated as opportunities to learn. Following our school-wide "PAWS-itives," our core expectations are simple: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe.
I look forward to partnering with you to ensure a year of incredible growth for your first grader!

Welcome to an exciting year of growth in Room 33! In first grade, we focus on building academic independence, curiosity, and strong foundational skills using our district-adopted curriculum:
π Literacy (Benchmark Advance & Structured Literacy): We utilize an evidence-based approach focusing on explicit phonics, decoding, and balancing whole and small-group instruction to cultivate strong, independent readers.
π’ Mathematics (Math Expressions): Students master addition, subtraction, place value, and geometry while building a growth mindset through productive problem-solving.
π¬ Science (Amplify Science): We engage students in the investigative process and hands-on inquiry aligned with next-generation science standards.
π Social Studies (Social Studies Alive!): Children explore community, citizenship, and basic geography through lessons designed for diverse learning styles.
