Welcome to our 1st grade class!
We are so excited to have you and are looking forward to a great school year! First grade is a very busy year, filled with lots of fun and learning.  This year, we will be learning about: living things, both plants and animals, how to be a good friend and community member, how to be a good reader, how to write all kinds of things like letters, and stories, and scientific observations, as well as explore numbers, shapes, measurement, and to think like mathematicians. 

Ms. Garcia Haas
As a graduate of the University of Minneosta-Twin Cities, I hold a Masters of Education Degree in Second Languages and Cultures Education.  I also hold Bachelors of Arts Degrees in Print Journalism and Spanish.  In Idaho, I completed the Elementary Education licensure graduate program at Northwest Nazarene University. Though I have been teaching since 2005, I continue to take classes and attend workshops each year to keep my teaching fresh and engaging. Even teachers go to school!  My goal for students is to empower them with the skills and dispositions that will enable them to be successful, compassionate citizens and lifelong learners. I look forward to sharing more about myself and getting to know you more throughout our year together.
