First Grade Curriculum:

      Our First Grade classes are engaged in a variety of learning activities. Here is a look at some of things we are learning.

      In Religion we learn about God’s love for us. He wants us to be happy by living as He taught us. We learn about Christian Living, the sacraments, and prayer. Our First Grade students will host our school liturgy in May.

      In Math, we practice number sense, addition and subtraction, place value, telling time, estimation, measuring, geometry, fractions, probability, and problem solving strategies.

      In Reading and Language Arts, we review many consonant sounds and master the short and long vowel sounds. Each week we learn sight words to accompany a new literature selection representing a variety of genres. Writing includes daily Journal writing, an introduction to the Writing Process, and grammar lessons.

       Seasonal studies complement the Science and Social Studies curriculum. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday and is practice of concepts taught in class.
