Hello, my name is Miss Kamry Satanoff and I have been at Saint Jerome School as a kindergarten aide for the past two years. I am very excited to be starting my third year as a first-grade teacher with the assistance of Mrs. LoMastro. I attended St. Jerome School when I was in kindergarten and first grade. Later on, graduated elementary school and high school at Franklin Towne Charter School. I am currently attending a new teacher program through the Archdiocese of Philadelphia at La Salle University. I am eager to start the new year off teaching your children new and exciting things. I truly love seeing the excitement in the faces of the children when they are learning. I am looking forward to the new school year and watching your children grow!

First Grade is a transitional year for the students. It is the first year they are required to wear the school uniform, sit in a desk all day, and have regular tests on work learned in the classroom. First grade incorporates guided reading and math groups. The students will work in small groups doing various reading/math centers around the room while I work with a small group providing semi individualized instruction. The small groups allow me to evaluate a student's progress and if they need to come back to the table for small group introduction again this is possible. Some of the students favorite things about first grade are our visits to the STEM lab which we will be doing in the classroom this year, the Halloween parade, Grinchmas, and of course listening to the antics of Junie B. Jones.
