Building Foundational Reading, Writing, Math, and Science Skills

1st grader practices reading aloud

Express ideas in their own words through projects and writing opportunities woven throughout the curriculum.
Build a stronger foundation in math skills and concepts using research-based math methods.
See our country’s past come alive with read-aloud narratives about well-known explorers, political figures, inventors, and leaders in American life.
Investigate how light helps us see and sound travels over distance.
