Welcome To Mrs Thomson's Grade 1T Class 2012/2013

Hello from your Grade 1 teacher! I am so excited about this new year where our focus is on Opening Wide the Door of Faith. I am so blessed to have 26 wonderful children eager to learn and ready to share their love of life with each each other.

Grade 1 is full of fun things to do. It will be a busy year full of great stories, math problems, science investigations, and so many other things. We also have a lot of fun learning to read and doing lots of writing activities!

Whose Child Is This?
"Whose child is this?" I asked one day
Seeing a little one out at play.
"Mine", said the parent with a tender smile
"Mine to keep a little while.
To bathe his hands and comb his hair,
To tell him what he is to wear,
To prepare him that he may always be good,
And each day do the things he should".

"Whose child is this?" I asked again,
As the door opened and someone came in.
"Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile.
"Mine, to keep just for a little while.
To teach her how to be gentle and kind,
To train and direct her dear little mind,
To help her live by every rule,
And get the best she can from school".

"Whose child is this?" I asked once more,
Just as the little one entered the door.
"Ours", said the parent and the teacher as they smiled.
And each took the hand of the little child.
"Ours to love and train together. Ours this blessed task forever."
