Hi and welcome to the first grade! My name is Ms Mantovani and I have been teaching and shaping young minds for 15 years. I have always had a passion for guiding children on their educational journey and watching them grow educationally . I am honored and excited to be sharing my experience with the students of SJS and getting to be a part of your child's journey. In our class, we will continue to grow through education and fun. We will work to develop a love for reading and writing. We will start each day working with a variety of educational programs. We use Sadlier Math for our daily mathematics. We move on to Voyages for our grammar and Writing. After we move onto our reading program, My View by Savvas. We also have a big focus on STREAM and Project Based Learning in our class.
I am so excited for this school year and can't wait to work together to help our little flowers bloom . Feel free to reach out to me at any time through my email gmantovani@sjps.net or on ClassDojo.
Throughout the year there will be pictures and posts on this page to show all of the fun and exciting work we complete.
Also on this page are links to our Google Classroom, PowerSchool, Raz-Kids, IXL, and ClassDojo.

The Sign of the Cross
Glory Be
Glory Be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning
is now and ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen.The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
They kingdom come.
They will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death.
Amen
Grace Before Meals
Bless us, O Lord, and these they gifts,
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty,
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against You Whom I should love above all things,
I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ, suffered and died for us.
In His name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
Exit of The Day Prayer:
We are grateful for the
signs and wonders of this day,
for ordinary events and it's surprises,
big and small.
We thank you for the
loving people who surround us.
May we continue to reflect your goodness
to others in your name.
We ask this through your beloved Son, Jesus.
Amen.

Classroom Birthday Celebrations
Copied from the updated Parent Handbook in regards to birthday celebrations.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS AT SAINT JOSEPH SCHOOL ARE FOODLESS.
Many children look forward to celebrating their birthdays with their classmates. Birthday
celebrations are important and classroom teachers will recognize each student’s birthday within
the classroom. If your child’s birthday falls during the summer months, the teacher and student
will select a special date for the celebration.
If parents wish to do something extra that does not involve food, drinks, or classroom
interruption, they may select from the following suggestions:
• Donate a book to the library in your child’s name.
• Donate a book to their child’s classroom. The child may want to read it to his/her
classmates.
• Send in inexpensive favors for the class, such as stickers, pencils, erasers, or bookmarks.
Please note that it is not necessary to provide anything extra for a child’s school celebration.
Distributing gifts or gift bags of any kind to classmates will not be permitted. Bouquets of
balloons and other celebratory decorations will not be permitted in school as they can be
distracting to students’ learning.
PLEASE REMEMBER: NO FOOD, including cupcakes, ice-cream, etc...can
be sent into school. Goodie bags will be returned to sender, if goodie bags contain
food. The teacher cannot hand it out for food safety reasons. Pizza Parties are not
permissible during the school week. Parents can submit payment for a pizza
pie to be purchased on Pizza Friday for their child’s class. Each pizza pie
purchased; costs $14.00 per pie. Arrangements and payments must be
discussed on a Monday of the week of a child’s birthday with the homeroom
teacher and front office. Lunch will be in the cafeteria as normal.
