Core Classes
- Literacy (Language Arts): We will be using the SuperKids series. This series focuses on phonics, reading, writing, oral language development, letter recognition, and handwriting. This series begins with basics and will gradually increase in rigor. It also builds upon itself as the weeks go on. There are 12 SuperKids who your child will meet throughout the year and follow through 2nd grade.
- Math: The Saxon Math Program will be the program we utilize this year. We will focus on numbers, patterns, and calendar to begin the year. We will work with money and time throughout the middle of the year. As the year comes to a close we will be working on adding and subtracting and reviewing all we learned throughout the year.
- Science and Social Studies: Science and Social Studies will be incorporated into other parts of the day when appropriate, as well as specific lessons weekly.
- Religion: Mrs. Chauff will be teaching religion. One of the general objectives of our religion program entails helping the children understand and appreciate God’s love and goodness. Another objective is that they shall learn the importance of behaving kindly towards others in school and at home. The children will learn about the events in life of Jesus through stories and activities.
