First grade is a challenging grade and a big transition for the former kindergarten students. In first grade, we teach units based on the Georgia Performance Standards. We teach reading, grammar, writing, and math units and embed social studies and science when possible. Your child will also continue reading flex like in kindergarten, so your child may be taught reading by another first grade teacher. These groups are flexible and based on your child’s needs. We will also continue with our intervention time. Again, your child may be taught by another teacher based on needs. These needs may require remediation or enrichment of specific skills. As I stated earlier, first grade is a challenging year, but we tend to see tremendous growth with our students.
