Welcome to First Grade! We are very excited to make this a positive, fun and educational year for your students. First grade is a busy year, where we lay the foundation for the rest of your child's education. A typical day in first grade consists of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, Technology and Physical Education. Our curriculum has an emphasis on building reading and writing skills and strategies with the New York Reading and Writing Project. Wherever possible we attempt to use a thematic approach to integrate the skills in these areas. Curriculum content is guided by our district standards and benchmarks for each subject area.
