Class Experience

US Grade 1
WELCOME SHOOTING STARS! 💫

Shooting Star Academy’s full curriculum First Grade class gives learners a complete classroom experience with writing, STEM science, storytime, beginning linguistics in Spanish, intermediate English Language Arts, and Montessori math. Our teachers work hard to ensure each student’s needs are met, and these courses are designed so that a learner can come and go each week as needed. We do not build upon previous content, so it isn’t necessary to attend every week consecutively.

Each lesson begins with calendar time, charting the weather, sharing time, and warm-up songs. 

English days consist of Montessori handwriting with word building mats, Montessori Grammar symbols, Animal Alphabet Phonics, beginning Spanish concepts (like “what day of the week is it?”, or “what is the most common weather type in class?”), and/or story time. 

Science days incorporate STEM projects or experimental worksheets that will be based on our monthly themes. Projects will be completed every week, and we will work on matching, identifying, and classifying the other weeks. 

Math days use a variety of techniques between Montessori and Reggio Emilia. This age group will have topics that range from counting to 1000-10,000 all the way to skip counting. We will use several manipulatives over the course of the year which will be posted as necessary over the course of the year. 

All manipulatives will be provided weekly to the student and parents in the classroom tab by the assigned teacher the Sunday before scheduled classes to give families time to prepare.

The monthly themes are:

June - Beach Vacation/In the Ocean
July - Travel the World/Climate Types
August - Dinosaurs/Geology

Here is a weekly breakdown:

1. Week of June 5th :  In The Ocean/4-Digit Addition/The Noun Family
2. Week of June 12th:  In The Ocean/4-Digit Addition/The Noun Family
3. Week of June 19th:  In The Ocean/4-Digit Subtraction/Verbs
4. Week of June 26th:  In The Ocean/4-Digit Subtraction/Verbs

*A full book schedule is included in the Supply list section.
**TEACHERS WILL BE READING THESE BOOKS IN CLASS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE THEM.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Since these classes do include crafts and science projects, there are potential hazards for young learners. Example: using scissors in class. It may be necessary for a parent to supervise cutting, pasting, or other hands-on activities.
Supply List
Every Sunday parent’s are given a weekly resource packet in the classroom tab. There are materials that will need to be printed out, so a printer is required to participate in these classes. If you don't have a printer, you can use a notebook.
Students should also general school supplies like glue sticks, colored pencils/crayons/markers, scissors, and a wipe board with dry erase markers.
