Hello, and welcome to first grade! My name is Tina Bovee. I have been employed with the Hastings Areas Schools since 1991. I have been teaching first grade since 1999. It is a wonderful experience to teach young children. First grade is an especially exciting year. Your child will become a reader this year! This website is intended to be used as a resource for information about our classroom as well as provide you with educational websites to further enhance your child's education. I look forward to getting to know you and your favorite first grader!
