Welcome to 1st Grade

About First Grade:

The first grade year is a year of fun, learning and growing independence.  We fine tune our handwriting skills and begin creative writing.  Literacy involves not only basic reading methods and phonics but also special book projects.  Adding, subtracting, grouping, categorizing and word problems make up only part of our math program.  Exciting science and social studies units continue throughout the year.  In Religion, we learn to recognize that God is an important part of our everyday lives.  At the end of this special year, students leave with a positive attitude toward learning and a true sense of independence.
