Our primary goal for first graders is for each child to develop a strong reading and mathematics foundation. In first grade, we build the framework for our children to develop the love of reading and writing and apply mathematical concepts to real-life problems. The students embark on cooperative projects and activities that promote multi-sensory learning, and they practice their independence and growing social skills. Science and social studies provide the students the opportunities to explore their world and the environment. First graders attend weekly specials classes, including art, music, library, technology, Spanish, science, and physical education.
