Students will improve their problem-solving skills while also becoming more proficient in computational skills. A first-grade education includes a strong focus on reading, language arts, and number logic. As second graders learn to read more independently they will progress in fluency, analysis, and comprehension. Students will begin to be assigned more independent work.
