First-grade students have busy hands, busy minds, and a growing faith! Throughout each day, our active students are engaged in learning to read, write, and become mathematical thinkers. Our Foss science kits provide exploratory science experiences. Social Studies themes introduce different cultures and incorporate current events. With so much to learn, it is no wonder first grade is a first-rate experience!
