My name is Ms. Blank and I am a graduate of St. Joseph's College. Catholic education has always been very near and dear to my heart. I have attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Mary's for elementary and middle school. I continued on to St. Anthony's for high school. I want to help young children have a faith filled journey that coincides with their education.
I am so excited to begin my fourth year in first grade for the 2021-2022 school year.

What's Happening This Year?
This year first graders will become more independent and develop their critical thinking skills. The students will expand and improve their writing. Most writing assignments will include some type of project component. This helps the children get excited about their writing!Reading will be done as a whole class, in small group and one on one. Students will learn various clues and ways to decipher unfamiliar words. They will be asked questions that require them to think “outside the box.” First grade also focuses on story elements such as setting, characters, and theme.
In math the children will learn multiple strategies to add and subtract numbers. New vocabulary will be presented for each topic.During science, the students will perform and participate in various experiments. They will see first hand what it’s like to be a scientist! After each experiment they will record and write about what they saw.
In social studies, the first graders will learn all about our community. They will be introduced to the people who work in the community and make it a wonderful place to live.
All content area will be centered around religion. The children will discuss ways that our religion is involved in everything we do. Each student will develop a deeper understanding of lent as well.
Weekly homework will be posted on the calendar. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at kblank5606@smtschool.org.
