First Grade Learning Focuses
For detailed learning content please visit Springfield Township School District’s homepage and click on the Curriculum tab at the top.
Math
In first grade, we implement Everyday Mathematics. You are welcome to visit the following website and delve into Everyday Mathematics content:
You can also support your student’s math skills at home, with exciting online games that correlate directly to what we learn in class!
Check the inside of your child's home folder for his or her login and password.
Language Arts
Reading, writing, word study and more! In first grade, students blossom into readers and authors. This year we are using a program called Journey's that integrates common-core based instruction into every lesson and differentiates the curriculum to meet the needs of all learners. We will be using The Daily Five structure to practice working on phonics, writing, reading to a partner, reading independently, and listening to reading while a group of students does guided reading with the teacher. Encourage your child to read every night whether it is reading to a sibling, listening to a family member read, or reading alone!
Science and Social Studies
Through inquiry and exploration, in first grade we learn about our community, US symbols, the environment, insects, solids and liquids and more!
