1st Grade Overview View a sample of our 1st grade curriculum here. Oak Meadow's lively and engaging first grade curriculum will help you guide your child toward solid reading and math skills while encouraging an active, inquisitive mind. Language arts skills are developed through a language-rich curriculum that focuses on stories, poems, and songs. Students progress through learning how to print upper- and lowercase letters to a study of word families and consonant blends. The imagination is sparked through fairy tales, nature stories, and traditional verses as your child develops the necessary skills and confidence to read independently.

Cultural diversity is explored through community connections and a developing sense of good citizenship.

Students also explore sequences, patterns, counting money, and geometric shapes.…
