Welcome to 1M! The first grade is working hard on becoming lifelong learners. Our day is focused on being kind to each and learning all we can. Each day we are reminded why are here and encouraged to keep Christ as our ultimate role model in and out of the classroom. Please take a moment to look at our smiling faces. We love learning and growing together. Please look towards the bottom of this page to see all exciting things we are working so far including our trick, spelling, and sight words.
