FIRST GRADE
The first grade program encourages students to demonstrate the joy of learning and to discover their individual talents. The goal for each child is to become a life-long learner and to appreciate that each person is unique and plays an important role in being part of a community. First graders are encouraged to work together as collaborative, cooperative group members who respect their community: people, things and environment. Application of basic skills and acquiring independence as a student is emphasized at this level. Students are also given opportunities to develop their critical thinking skills, problem solving strategies and become effective communicators within our classroom community and beyond.
