We're taking a trip through Grammar School on the podcast right now. Two weeks ago we talked with Abby Mayall and got an overview of the entire School of Grammar. Last week we talked with the Kindergarten teachers and this week we sit down with Suzanne MacInnis and Dianne Tag of First Grade.
Suzanne and Dianne share the best parts of being a First Grade teacher and the hardest parts. The best part is seeing the students grow up and mature, and then watching as they get older and find success in their lives.
Dianne says one of the hardest part of their jobs is saying goodbye at the end of the school year. They have to send them off for the summer and into the next grade, and it can be difficult to let go.
They also talk about academic expectations for incoming First Graders, daily and weekly homework requirements, and how they prepare the First Graders for success in Second Grade.
