Hello Cheverus Students and Families,
My name is Miss Monteforte, and I am very excited to be your First-Grade Teacher this year! Teaching is my passion! I started my teaching career in 2008. I have a bachelor’s degree in education and a minor in psychology from Bay Path University. I have a beautiful, college aged daughter pursing an Engineering degree. We live close by and have a beloved dog named Pepper.
I am planning an exciting school year of learning and development. We have a lot to learn, and time goes fast. My students become eager learners, and I want to instill student ownership of their learning and development. At this age, they are ready to become individual leaders; I can't wait to help them develop these skills!
First grade academics is an extension of foundational skill building from kindergarten. Students continue to develop these crucial foundational skills for future school success. Most importantly, students need to build strong reading skills to support academic reading across the curriculum in math, science, and social study. My highest recommendation is that my students read nightly to build good reading skills and reading habits.
I look forward to meeting you all and working with you throughout the school year.
