     The first grade language arts program includes reading, writing, listening, speaking and research skills.  The reading component includes phonics and comprehension skills.  The writing program includes written comprehension, handwriting, grammar and spelling skills.  Research skills help students use information from books, and technology.

     Our focus in math is to learn and use basic facts and to understand math concepts.  Students study patterns, relationships and functions, numbers and operations, probability and statistics, and geometry and measurements.  Besides being proficient in basic skills, our goal is to have them become skillful problem-solvers.

     Students complete inquiry-based units of instruction in science.  Observing, classifying, measuring, inferring, predicting, and conducting investigations to learn science concepts is a major component of our program.

     Students in first grade use a variety of process skills relating to history, government, geography, and economics.  These include chronological thinking, organizing and explaining information, analyzing and interpreting data, conducting research, and communicating orally, graphically, socially, and in writing.
