First Grade Curriculum
Reading and Writing - More coming soon.
Word Work
We will focus on Foundational Literacy skills such as letters and sounds, print concepts, recognizing and producing rhyming words, blending and segmenting words, and reading and writing words based on spelling patterns that are introduced each week. We will use a program called Letterland to teach phonics in a fun and memorable way. The Letterlanders help students remember each letter's shape, sound, and direction, and they live in a very special secret place called Letterland!

Math
We start with a daily math routine to reinforce and review important math skills. The teacher will teach a lesson or skill using hands on manipulatives. Students will practice the skill individually and/or in partnerships or small groups. We will use a lot of "math talk" and student lead conversations so that the students can explain their thinking.

Science and Social Studies
We will alternate between science and Social studies through out the year. Each quarter we will teach one science unit and one social studies unit. We will integrate literacy with science and social studies and learning will be hands on! We will have a science notebook to record what we are learning throughout the year!
