Mrs. Jody Hobbs, First Grade Teacher
Mrs. Debbie Schlobohm, AideFirst Grade
As is true with First Graders everywhere, this is a year of enormous, and very visible strides in a child’s education.
It is a year
of important transitions, building upon and accelerating skills
learned in Kindergarten.
During First Grade your child will not only learn how to read, they will even enter the exciting world of chapter books, getting to know characters such as “Frog and Toad” and “Dr. Dolittle”. They will learn to add and subtract and discover the power of the written word by writing stories. By exploring the mysteries of science and observing classroom critters such as toads and ladybugs, we will learn to better understand the world around us.
This year, the First Graders will be going on field trips to see a performance at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
We will continue to learn about Jesus and his life, and what we believe as
Catholics. We will attend Mass every Friday with the whole
school.
Six-year-olds are enthusiastic learners - loving new ideas and
information. We hope to capture this enthusiasm and instill
in them a love of learning that will last throughout their years
of schooling yet to come.
