Our Lady of Mercy - 1B

Welcome to 1B!!!

My name is Nancy Souza Andre and I will be teaching the students of 1B for the 2008-2009 school year. I am a graduate of Our Lady of Mercy and extremely grateful to have been part of our PROUD PAST and am excited to move forward into our BRIGHT FUTURE! I am looking forward to meeting each of my students and their families. Working together we will provide the best possible educational experience for every student.

As summer is coming to an end I hope that you and your families had time to spend together, enjoying each other's company and making special memories that will always be treasured. Now it's time for you and your child to begin a new journey into the land of 1st grade. It is a special time when students will begin exploring and learning about community and the world around them through language arts, math, religion, social studies and science.

Here are a few of my favorite websites that will give you insight into the year ahead:

http://www.familyeducation.com This sight will give you tips on what first graders experience and the importance of the family's role in the education process.

http://www.funbrain.com This sight is interactive and includes games, lessons and projects in reading, writing, math and social studies.

http://www.primarygames.com This sight has a great variety of interactive math practice pages and lessons.

God Bless and see you soon,

Mrs. Andre
