1st Grade

First Grade Enrichment

READING/WRITING: First Semester we have been focusing on:

  • Deductive Thinking - using clues to determine what belongs and what doesn't belong

  • Logic Elimination Puzzles

  • Brainstorming and inventing through divergent thinking using the P.E.T.S. program (Primary Education Thinking Skills or PETS™ is a systematized enrichment and diagnostic thinking skills program. Lessons are presented in convergent analysis, divergent synthesis, visual/spatial thinking, and evaluation, suitable for grades K-3. The program aligns to the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy)

MATH: First Semester we have been focusing on:

  • Level 4 activities based on the 1st grade standards (Comparing numbers through place value games; applying place value to different real-life scenarios; problem-solving with adding and subtracting; number sense puzzles).

  • Algebraic thinking with symbols and pictures.
