WELCOME TO MRS. GIANIODIS'

FIRST GRADE CLASS

Hello, my name is Mrs. Gianiodis. I would like to share with you some facts about myself. I am happily married to a fabulous man for 16 years. We are blessed with two lovely children. I started teaching in this district as a fourth grade teacher. Then I moved to third grade where I taught for over a dozen years. Finally I became a first grade teacher. This is my fifth year teaching first grade. I'M LOVING IT! I am fortunate to be teaching such a creative, caring, and challenging class of students.

Our Class Pledge

 I pledge to try to do my job

Every single day

Listening, learning and being fair

When I work hard and play.

Keeping my hands and feet to myself,

Treating others with respect,

Making sure our things are neat,

That's what we should expect.

Listen when my teacher speaks

And follow every rule

I pledge I'll be a good citizen

In my classroom and my school.
