Welcome to Grade 1!
We are looking forward to meeting all our new first graders on September 14th!
Throughout the school year, children will complete 6 different units of inquiry. We will send you information about each unit as we go along.
Our first unit is entitled Families and Friends. Below is a brief insight into what your child will be inquiring into:
