Miss Elaine Stockhaus - First Grade

The Lord has called me to guide these little ones in the truth and teach them the ways of the Lord.

 

I also will guide them to a development of their reading skills, comprehension, and listening, as well as oral reading skills.  The Accelerated Reader program begins in first grade.  It is a way to enhance their reading skills, and improve their reading ability.  

 

Math, science, and language arts, which includes spelling, completes our first grade curriculum. 

 

We develop a love of learning and a love of the Lord in the classroom.
