Basic math skills are taught through a variety of hands-on experiences. They learn about patterns, counting, probability, graphs, money, and geometry, as well as basic addition and subtraction facts. The foundation for math begins in the first grade. Science processes are taught through discovery and investigation. Some units covered are Plants, Our World, Forces, and the Five Senses.
Science is integrated into other subjects.
Social Studies is incorporated into our lives in the first grade. We work very hard on becoming good citizens and good friends. We learn to accept the consequences for our behavior. Except the first nine months of life, first graders learn more in this nine month period than they will learn during any other time in their lives. It is a year of constant learning and growth.
