First Grade
First grade has many
exciting things going on! In religion,
students learn about what it means to be a
Christian and how they can make a
difference in the lives of others. This
includes monthly character trait
themes. In math, they focus on their
addition and subtraction math facts, as
well as explore units such as graphing,
problem solving, time, measurement, and
the basics of geometry with the use of
manipulatives and technology. The goal in
language arts is to instill a life-long
love for literature by using an integrated
approach (reading, writing, spelling,
phonics). Students should become
confident, well-rounded readers and
writers. The social studies program uses
an approach with a text path (weekly
reader sheet), a digital path (computer
and projector), and an active path
(activities). Topics covered include
citizenship, our country, people, places
and cultures, and changes over time. In
science, a hands-on approach is used that
combines observation, recording,
experiments, and literature. Students
learn about living things, the weather and
seasons, and matter and energy. Students
also receive instruction in the areas of
art, computers, music, and P.E.
