It’s time for First Grade!

Multi-disciplinary First grade style curriculum using Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Social/Emotional, and Science. Each day will also incorporate fine and gross motor skills, songs, and social skills to keep all types of learners engaged.

Each week we will focus on a different theme and each subject/day will fit into the theme. Each day will start the same with a welcome song, calendar, weather, the daily activity, and end the day with our goodbye song. While we will use the same theme for the entire week, each day will focus on a different activity or skill related to that week’s theme. Repetition is so important for learners so each day will have the same hello and goodbye song but the activity for the day we differ based on the day of the week. That way if you join us one day or five, each day will be a little different and further help reinforce concepts. The days of the week will be as follows:

Math Monday
Language Arts Tuesday (Reading and/or Writing)
Social Studies Wednesday
Show and Tell Thursday (Friends will bring an item to class that goes with that week’s theme and write about what they are bringing)
Science Friday

As online learners, they sometimes have the wiggles and that is okay! We will be working on learning how to be in a classroom with other friends. I will keep everyone un-muted as we will be working on taking turns. If for some reason a student is having a little bit of trouble or there is a lot of background noise, I may have to mute a student until it is their turn. I will have each student take turns answering questions and sharing what they want with the class. Students love to share, and I want to encourage that, but I will keep it on track and have the students save some thoughts until the end. This is an ongoing class and I know there will be different students in classes but I do hope to see many of the same faces so the children can build that community with one another.

First Grade is a big year full of so much growth and learning!
