During their time in the first grade, children are taught the basic fundamentals of Math. Basic geometry along with graphing may also be introduced.
Additionally, first graders are taught basic reading skills with a focus on reading and writing simple statements. Of course, with the changes brought about by the Common Core Standards, children entering the first grade are now expected to read and understand stories covering a wide range of lengths and difficulties. Students are also introduced to the basics of Social Studies, Geography and Science. The subject of Science is taught to them in an interactive manner that enables free questioning and a comprehensive understanding of the world around them.
Following the Common Core Standards for 1st grade English, this class builds on the reading, writing, speaking, and listing skills for students. Students will practice retelling stories, answering questions about stories, and describing the major events within a story.
