Language Arts

Our reading curriculum is based on the first grade common core standards.  We focus heavily on Guided Reading, and also incorporate shared reading, independent reading, and read alouds in to daily practice.  Writing consists of a daily writer's workshop and we follow the Lucy Calkins writing series.  Writing is also aligned with the Common Core first grade standards.

Math

Our math curriculum focuses on the common core standards.  We use enVisionMath.  Our students have the opportunity to work in a variety of settings such as whole group, small group, and partner work and have many opportunities to use manipulatives.
