My first grade students are curious, creative and eager to learn. They come from different backgrounds and welcome everyone into our community. They support, encourage and challenge each other daily. They're full of wonderings about the world and stories to tell from their own personal experiences. Their love for learning can be seen as they set goals for themselves and persevere through challenging tasks.
