1st Grade
In the 1st grade classroom, children learn to read through many direct experiences. Books are selected for their high-quality stories and illustrations. These books are readily available. The children learn to read and write as part of a language and literacy program that is integrated throughout the curriculum. The 1st grade math program is designed to help children become comfortable using skills by exploring, discovering, and learning math in the context of daily living. Large and small group activities empower each child to think, plan, talk, and get involved. The children learn best through lots of hands-on activities. They begin to “research” topics of special interest. Science is explored through special projects, investigations, and items of interest brought into the classroom. Gardening is done in the outside classroom as well. 1st graders enjoy weekly reading time with preschool buddies and visit a nearby nursing home on a monthly basis. Students receive weekly instruction in Spanish, music, and P. E. and attend 5 full days.

I’ve wanted to do that for a really long time. I can’t remember really wanting to do anything else. So thinking back on the time I had here, I would love to teach in an environment like this. Just the way the kids interact with one another. I never felt like I was going to school.” — Jessica	1st Grade In the 1st grade classroom, children learn to read through many direct experiences.
