MRS. RONDA FOSTERFirst grade students grow and gain confidence in their social skills and curriculum while learning about God’s love for them. Many hands-on activities help accomplish these skills. They learn to accept responsibility for themselves and their success in school. Social skills and self-control are developed by learning about the example of Jesus’ love for all of us. The first grade experience will help every child grow in their faith and become life long learners.
