My Project

My energetic first graders are eager to learn about the world and their local community. They like to interact with hands on resources, interactive visuals, and what lies beyond our area.

Scholastic News and Science Spin broaden their view of the world and introduce topics in a fun and engaging way.

The community helpers are nice to interact with in our building play center as they explore community helpers and find inspiration on who they may become as they grow. The puzzles also help them understand roles in our community.
