Mississippi 1st Grade Curriculum

Our English Language Arts component focuses on developing essential reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Students will engage with a variety of fiction and nonfiction texts, enhancing their comprehension and ability to identify key details and main ideas. The writing section emphasizes clear and coherent expression, guiding students to craft opinion pieces and narratives. With interactive discussions and effective communication practices, students will build confidence in their speaking and listening skills. Furthermore, a strong emphasis on grammar, punctuation, and capitalization fosters a solid foundation in the conventions of standard English.

Our Math curriculum engages students with foundational concepts in operations and algebraic thinking, where they will master addition and subtraction within 20 and tackle word problems that enhance their problem-solving abilities. Through an exploration of place value, students will develop fluency in adding and subtracting within 100. Our measurement and data section introduces time and money concepts, while the geometry segment allows students to identify and describe shapes and understand partitioning. This comprehensive approach not only builds essential math skills but also encourages logical reasoning and analytical thinking.

The Science portion of our curriculum inspires students to become curious explorers of the world around them. Through inquiry-based learning, students will investigate properties of objects and materials, delve into the life cycles of plants and animals, and understand the basics of weather and seasons. Our Earth and Space Science unit fosters environmental awareness, while opportunities for engineering and technology design empower students to create and innovate. This hands-on approach not only enhances scientific comprehension but also nurtures inquisitive minds ready to ask questions and seek answers.

Our Social Studies curriculum introduces students to fundamental concepts of geography, civics, history, and economics.
