1B - P1B Kindergarten/1st
Instructor: Mrs. Harrison, Miss Shortman, Ms. Rogers, Mrs. Salter   
      Welcome to P1B!
     On our team, Ms. Rogers teaches first grade and Mrs. Harrison teaches Kindergarten. In these standard/traditional classroom settings, students are placed in specific grade level groupings.  Students will have a different teacher each year and will follow the one-year curriculum for that grade level.
     In Miss Shortman's and Mrs. Salter's classes, the class population is evenly divided between Kindergarteners and first graders. Your child will spend both Kindergarten and first grade with the same teacher. These multi-age classes are set up on a two-year cycle for curriculum and for teaching strategies. Multi-age activities allow for individual levels and rates of progress.
     When a child leaves first grade from a Primary 1 room, he or she has been exposed to all of the Kindergarten and first grade Standards of Learning.

Nut Allergies
Please remember to send only nut free snacks to school with your child. We have students with nut allergies who are very sensitive to even small traces of nuts and nut oilsReading labels is the only safe way to guarantee a nut free product. Manufacturing processes can change and make a product that was once safe no longer safe.
