Welcome to 1st Grade!

Welcome to First Grade!!!
Thank you for browsing the class blog of 1JK. I am so excited for the new school year. This year we have three 1st Grade classes here at TAISM. The 1st Grade teachers are: Mrs. Theresa Irish, Mrs. Samantha Mongardi and myself, Jenny Kwok.
In 1JK, we have 20 wonderful children who come from many different parts of the world. I am also glad to have our full-time teaching assistant, Ms. Zulfa Albusaidy with us for support.
On the first day of school, we spent time learning about our classroom community. The first and most important task we accomplished was learning all 20 names and we did that by playing and singing name games and songs. We also brainstormed a list of expectations and rules for the classroom so that we can all have a safe and comfortable environment to learn and play. Ask your child what some of the expectations are.
