Science
Exciting news...Littleton Public Schools has adopted twig science as our new science curriculum, check it out!
Literacy
Building on what they learned in kindergarten, first graders learn more complex letter-sound relationships. They apply these new skills to longer decodable stories and informational texts and in their writing. Reading comprehension and fluency are emphasized. All skills are carefully integrated and taught in multiple modes—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—to reinforce language learning.
Additional family letters will go home as we progress through the curriculum.
Math
Littleton Public Schools has adopted Bridges, a K–5 math program that will help us meet the core standards and make math meaningful, exciting, and accessible to all learners. The Bridges curriculum focuses on developing a deep understanding of math concepts, proficiency with key skills, and the ability to solve new & complex problems. Students in a our classroom talk about math, describe observations, explain methods, and ask questions. They are encouraged to find multiple ways to solve problems and show different ways of thinking. Hands-on activities engage them in exploring, developing, testing, discussing, and applying mathematical concepts.
Unit 2: Developing Strategies with Dice & Dominoes
Unit 3: Adding, Subtracting, Counting, & Comparing
