Grandin Court First Grade Notes First Grade Mrs. Sweetenberg, Mrs. Rains, Mrs. Templeton Welcome to the world of First Grade. It's a fun, exciting world where you learn many new things. This is the year when we put all the letters of the alphabet and the words you learned in Kindergarten together to make sentences and stories. We learn more of the mechanics of language - like capitalization and punctuation, making plurals, etc. Students read many books, including chapter books, as well as Accelerated Reader tests, and write letters as well as keep journals.
Technology is an integral part of our curriculum.
Students learn basic keyboarding and computer skills. In Mathematics we continue learning about numbers and how we use them to count, add, and subtract. We measure, tell time, count money, and learn about fractions. We use Math in stories, charts, graphs, and maps. Only those First Graders who learn their Math facts through 10 are invited to enjoy a day at the park with just fun and games.
