1st Grade
What do you do?
It is my privilege to teach 1st grade at Westside. My philosophy about learning is that God created each child uniquely, and each child learns in a different way. One of my jobs as a teacher is to help the children in my class discover their individuality and work alongside them to encourage their abilities.

What is your theme Bible verse?
