Grade 1 Curriculum

The first grade curriculum continues to integrate academics and arts to explore themes and skills. Faculty build early literacy and math skills; developmentally appropriate activities extend students’ individual abilities through small and large group work. Students particularly enjoy filling specially decorated book bags with “just right” books to read at home and celebrating the 100th day of school with games that emphasize counting, measuring, and predicting. This is an exciting year of “firsts” as students experience lunch in Coolidge Hall, participate in Field Day, learn in the woodworking studio, and perform in a play—all for the first time.
