Below are links to the 2015-2016 Shelby County School Curriculum Maps. On these links, you can find detailed information about what your child will be learning this year in first grade. First grade uses the skills learned in Kindergarten as a foundation to build upon for all things learned this year. Our largest focus is reading and language arts. We closely examine individual letter sounds, blended sounds, and chunks of sounds to go from recognizing basic words to being able to decode irregular words. You will see astounding growth in your child's reading abilities from the beginning of the year to the end. Math is another large focus in first grade. We take their basic understanding of numbers and dive deeply into addition and subtraction. We also explore patterns, geometry, fractions, and more. Science and Social Studies are integrated into the first grade curriculum. This means that we may not do a science "lesson" each day, but bring in aspects of science in another core content area. You will see me using this curriculum all year to set your child onto the road to success.
