Our First Grade Education is grounded in a belief that children learn best through social emotional engagement, exploration and CREATIVITY!!!
The emphasis is on holistic development, inclusivity and active participation. It's truly a learning journey. In first grade we are problem solvers! We are involved decision makers. It is a child-centered approach to learning that encourages autonomy, and independence.
We follow NJ state mandated learning goals in the areas of reading and mathematics.
Teacher specialists in music education, art education, technology, foreign language,library/media, health and physical education provide additional social-emotional and enrichment activities for our students.
About me
Every since I can remember I've always wanted to be a teacher. Storytime with my grandmother took me to magical places and helped me to fall in love with books. Sharing my love of reading and inspiring our youngest learners is important to me. For me, friendship and learning go hand in hand.
"All I Really Need to Know We Learnend in Kindergarten," by Robert Fulghum puts it all into perspective.
We'll learn and play and have a great day at H.W. Mountz!
