First Grade

First grade students visit the library weekly. They continue to practice and develop the concepts and skills they were introduced to in kindergarten:

First grade students:

    • demonstrate a growing understanding of locating and selecting “just right” books for personal enjoyment and information
    • hear, view, respond and discuss
