To Barlow Park First Grade is time for learning, not final achievement.
First graders are active and eager to learn new things.
They want responsibility, but have a hard time making decisions. First graders need security and attention from adults around them. They need help in sharing and considering the feelings of other classmates. Please remember that at this age many reading, writing, and math abilities are developmental, and will progress with time and practice. It is not unusual for first graders to have many growth spurts and plateaus in progress.
