First Grade
Our First Grade program brings new and different experiences to your child. When children are enthusiastic about what is being taught, they learn and become involved. Learning is most meaningful when it is relevant to a child’s life experiences. Therefore we use an integrated theme based approach to teach content and skills.
Although themes may vary from class to class and year to year according to the interests and abilities of the students, particular skills and content remain consistent. Themes allow children to explore skills in reading, writing, listening, speaking, literature, math science, music and art, social studies, health, and technology within a fun meaningful context.
