1st Grade Overview

Oak Meadow’s lively and engaging 1st grade curriculum will help you guide your child toward solid reading and math skills while encouraging an active, inquisitive mind.

In language arts, literacy skills are developed through a language-rich curriculum that focuses on stories, poems, and songs. Students progress through learning how to print upper- and lower-case letters to a study of word families and consonant blends. The imagination is sparked through fairy tales, nature stories, and traditional verses as your child develops the necessary skills and confidence to read independently.

In social studies, students begin to develop a sense of time and place as they encounter classic tales, make their own calendars, learn to use a compass, and draw maps of their neighborhoods. Multicultural awareness is explored through community connections and a developing sense of good citizenship.

In the math curriculum, stories are integrated into the study of numbers, and objects from nature collected on a walk become part of learning the four mathematical processes. Students also explore sequences, patterns, counting money, and geometric shapes.

Science, arts & crafts, music, and health round out the 1st grade experience. Each week students engage in observations of the natural world, express themselves through painting and crafts, develop their recorder playing skills, and conduct inquiries into topics related to their healthy development.

Projects, crafts, and activities through the year include:
