East North Street Academy First Grade Syllabus 2025/26
Welcome to FIRST GRADE at East North Street Academy! We are excited to teach your child this year and know that he/she will learn and grow over the course of the school year! Our standard-based curriculum is presented in such a way that all types and levels of learners are stimulated and encouraged. We work together to provide activities that foster thinking skills, problem solving, and hands-on learning. Between our 1st grade team of teachers, our school leadership, our parents, and our students, we are confident that it is going to be a GREAT year!
OUR TEAM
We have a great first grade team and enjoy working together to provide the best possible experience for your first grader. We are fortunate to have seven first grade classes which provides a low teacher to student ratio. Our 1st grade teachers this year are Emily Boggs, Sharquel Brooks, Frazier Hatcher, Lisa Kendra Ruth Freeman, Mandy Kennelly, and Melissa Spurlin.
