Recent ActivityInstructor: 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 AllergiesPlease 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 oils. Reading 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.

P1B Links Curriculum cards are developed for each grade level in our elementary schools. These curriculum cards provide the learning objectives to be achieved at each grade level. In addition, resources are listed that parents can use to assist their children with achieving high standards.  Adopt a ClassroomAdopt-A-Classroom invites the Stafford community into the classroom in support of our teachers and students. By adopting a classroom, donors form partnerships with specific classrooms providing financial and moral support. The result is a meaningful contribution to education in which donors experience the impact of their efforts and celebrate in a classroom’s success. Please go online to www.adoptaclassroom.com and check out the classrooms waiting to be adopted. Several people can get together to adopt a classroom. In addition, Grandparents, who live near or far, may want to participate by adopting their grandchild’s classroom. | ||||||||||||||||||
