First Grade

Overview

Reading is the "thing" of first grade. Our students are grouped for reading instruction; we use a phonics approach and learn to read for enjoyment and purpose. Creative writing begins in First Grade. A strong foundation for mathematics is built especially in addition, subtraction, number sense and place value. We learn to listen and follow directions and to show respect for others.

A child entering first grade must be 6 years old by September 2nd per Alabama law.

Our class size is limited to 20 students.
