First Grade
In our wonderful first-grade classrooms, students can anticipate a year filled with excitement and growth. With differentiated instruction to support individual learning styles, students will take part in social-emotional learning lessons that focus on developing self-regulation techniques, a growth mindset, and forming relationships.
Our reading program highlights comprehension and application. We build on sequential phonics instruction to support reading and writing in multiple genres including fairy tales, biographies, narratives, nonfiction, poetry, and procedural texts.
In math, students engage in collaborative problem-solving tasks covering data analysis, addition, and subtraction up to 20, place value within 120, measurement, and geometry. Science and social studies are integrated across various subjects to create a comprehensive and engaging curriculum. Students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and play an active role in our classroom community.
