First Grade News

2007-08 Grade Level Coordinator: 

Cynthia Jones

Welcome back to school!  We are excited about the possibilities that await us this year!

We will be sending home newsletters periodically during the year that will include our fields of study and important news, information and announcements.  This information can also be found on this page... so check it often!

Here is a list of what first-graders will be studying at school:

Language Arts focus: reviewing and refining phonemic skills as well as increasing reading fluency, mastering sight words, grammar, punctuation and capitalization-learning to write multiple sentences about a topic.

Science:  learning about the process skills that scientists use to find out and discover: observing, comparing, classifying, and sequencing.

Social Studies:  we are learning about school workers and their jobs, also about procedures and guidelines and the reasons for them.

Health:  our body systems, senses, etc. (eyes, ears, their parts and functions)

Math:  numeration, properties of zero, reviewing counting skills.
