What do we learn in First Grade?

I am excited to be using our reading curriculum, Wonders.  Students will learn many skills in order for them to become proficient readers.  Students will work together on a story as well as be divided into leveled reading groups. 

This is the second year Perry Elementary will be using our math curriculum EnVision.  Similiar to reading the class will participate in whole group math lessons as well leveled math groups.  

First Grade will write everyday.  Our reading program has a grammar and writing component which relates to the stories we will be reading.  

Our Spelling program coincides with our reading.  Students will have a list of spelling words in their homework folder at the beginning of each theme. This is NOT always on a Monday.

First grade will use our science lab as well as the classroom to experiment.  We will also create and research using iPads.    

Some other topics we cover are Where We Live, Weather, Plants, Water, Holidays, and Animals.
