1st Grade

  1. allison
  • First Grade

    First grade is a big step for Saint Ann students.  Our first graders say goodbye to the first floor's Early Childhood classrooms and move on up to the 2nd floor for the first time!  Our first graders focus on their reading and writing through Morning Meetings, Writer's Workshop, Guided Reading, and center time.  They master their addition and subtraction facts as they continue learning about time, patterns, and shapes. 
  • Meet Miss Longton

    Ms. Allison Longton is truly excited to begin her first year at Saint Ann School.  She grew up on an island in Michigan called Grosse Ile and later attended Michigan State University.  At MSU, she earned a BA in elementary education with a focus on language arts.  Ms. Longton always wanted to live and teach in a big city.  She moved to Chicago three years ago!  She loves skiing, ballet, exploring Chicago’s many museums, and visiting her family.  Ms. Longton is also an avid reader!  You can often find her at the library or bookstore!
