Connie Mathias, Teacher

Hi! My name is Mrs. Mathias. I am your friend and your first grade teacher. I have taught first grade at Altamont Lutheran Interparish School since 1980. I like children!

My family is special to me and so are you! I enjoy having fun with my three children and attending activities they are involved in. Blake, Carmen and Morgan are my children. I like flower gardening, country crafts and precious moments. Blue is my favorite color. May we grow together in Jesus love.

Children come to first grade with varied physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. In a setting where God's love guides our actions, we help each child to know that God love him/her and that God has given him/her a wonderful mind and body. We try to teach each child to use their God-given talents and gifts to the best of their ability. A positive experience in first grade provides the skills and confidence to be prepared for second grade. First grade is a place for children to grow. Your child will build on a foundation of habits, sharing experiences, and developing skills needed to help them grow. The Christian first grade teaches a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ. It builds upon and continues the Christian training which has begun in the home.
