FIRST GRADE - MRS. LIEB

First Grade Experience

First grade is a year of discovery.  During first grade, students discover subjects they excel in, leading to instant satisfaction. Students also discover how they learn best when they encounter subjects where mastery takes time. Excitement is abundant when our students understand a new concept or process. First grade is also when students begin to fall in love with reading independently. Our classroom library ensures our early readers easily find the "perfect book." Our Catholic education supports students as they discover how to be a strong student, in and out of the classroom. Alongside traditional classroom resources, iPads are an interactive tool to help students understand a concept or explore a favorite subject, such as animals and planets. All students attend weekly Wednesday Mass, and first grade students receive opportunities to lead Mass in the Spring trimester. We hope you will visit us, so we can share our school community with you.

Meet Ms. Lieb

Hello! My name is Phyllis Lieb, and I teach first grade at St. Catherine of Siena School. I joined St. Catherine in 2014, and I have taught for 16 years. I possess a teaching credential and master's degree in special education from Azusa Pacific University. Prior to St. Catherine, I taught in both public school and charter schools, from elementary to middle school. While teaching is my second career, I absolutely love it! St. Catherine is a beautiful school community of learners.
