First Grade Family Trees

The First Graders had a great time researching their family history through three generations. They shared their customs, beliefs and traditions with the rest of the class. Some wrote books to share. Others had photographs or hand drawn items. Some had 3-D charts or displays on poster board or computer generated programs. Each child chose how to best represent his/her family. Each child also gave an oral presentation and answered questions from curious friends. It was so interesting to see all the different ways that our students spend special times together as families.

Guided Reading Program

Our Guided Reading program is conducted with a small number of students and focuses on the individual reading needs of each child. During guided reading, teachers guide the entire class through stories with a high level of support and work with students at their individual level in developing their reading skills. The end goal is for students to become confident, proficient readers who LOVE to read!
