Welcome to first grade! My name is Maria Mezzanotte. I am thrilled to have your child in class this year. This is my eighteenth year teaching at East Street School. I am excited to be teaching first grade this year. First grade is an exciting time as children embark upon new adventures in the world of learning. I look forward to an exciting and productive year working with your child. It is my goal to make learning a fun and enriching process for my students. However, I will need your help in making this year successful. We are a team working together to help your child develop emotionally and academically. I know if we work together and communicate, your child will have a great year in first grade. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you have during the year. You may write me a note, call me at the school, 516-733-2321 or email me by clicking the button below.
