1ST GRADE

Miss Hice  

I was raised in North Ridgeville. I am a graduate of St. Peter School and North Ridgeville High School. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Cleveland State University. I have taught 22 years at "The best Catholic grade school!" Yes, I am biased!!

I taught 3rd grade for 15 years and 1st grade for the last 7 years. I love the beach, painting, making crafts and my dachshund, Molly Hice. My favorite times are those spent with my family and friends.

Overview:

First grade follows the Ohio Common Core Standards as well as the Diocese of Cleveland Curriculum. First grade is a special time when students are learning to be responsible for their learning.  It is no longer acceptable to expect mom or dad to do things for us but rather to recognize it is "my job" and take pride in this responsibility.  There is a mix of group and individual learning activities as the students settle into their rolls as life long learners.

Ms. Sokol

I grew up in North Olmsted and attended St. Brendan School. From there, I continued my Catholic education at Magnificat. Upon graduation, I attended Bowling Green State University and am certified in both elementary and special education. I have taught primarily in Catholic Schools in both kindergarten and first grade. I currently reside in North Ridgeville and have two children. My oldest is a graduate of Ashland University with her master's degree in finance and my second child is a senior at The Ohio State University studying chemical engineering. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, reading, painting and spending time with family!
