Dear Grade One Children and Families,

     Welcome to our Winn Brook School Grade One Community Building Web site!  We have planned and look forward to sharing many wonderful learning experiences together with you this year that will foster positive relationships among our classes and create a caring, supportive community for all of our enthusiastic and joyful first grade learners! 

Ms. Morrison's Class

Ms. Napolitano's Class

Ms. McNiff's  Class

Ms. LaRoche's Class

     We know that children thrive and grow in nurturing  and respectful classroom, playground and school-wide learning environments.  In our monthly gatherings, students will meet in four multi-class  cooperative groups and will learn  . . .


  • to listen to one another
  • to work cooperatively in small and large groups
  • to communicate clearly with words and actions
  • to express feelings and appreciate differences
  • to respect and care for one another
  • to identify and solve problems
  • to deal with conflicts peacefully

     We welcome you to our Winn Brook Grade One Community Building Website and invite you and your families and friends to visit our site often as we will be updating it monthly with photos of our little ones enjoying their special learning adventures!

Warm wishes,

Ms. LaRoche, Ms. McNiff,
Ms. Morrison and Ms. Napolitano
