Children learn differently and to accommodate this variance, a variety of teaching methods are used.\u00a0 In order to maximize our students\u2019 education a combination of direct teaching and cooperative learning are practised. Children will learn through whole group, small group, and one-on-one instruction.\u00a0\u00a0 Learning through work stations not only fosters team work skills, but creates an environment where students transfer their knowledge to one another.<\/p>\n

In Grade One, the focus is building a strong foundation in reading and writing.\u00a0 To foster a love for reading The Daily 5, and a Home Reading program is used.\u00a0 The Daily 5 program provides students with choice in how they choose to read, and encourages authentic writing.\u00a0\u00a0 Children will also participate in other ELA activities such as: show and tell, phonics and creative writing.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the topics covered throughout the year:\u00a0 Addition and Subtraction; Measurement; The Five Senses; Characteristics of Living Things; My Environment and I Belong.<\/p>\n
