If you have a special job, hobby or other talent.... We want you!!
Kids are always so intrigued by adult occupations. During First Grade we cover a wide range of subject areas. We integrate many basic components of higher level jobs in society. Below I have listed the basic components of some of our First Grade curriculum. Take time to look at each area and decide if you have any "real life" experience that relates to an area. Kids love having guest speakers come talk to them about their own knowledge and how they use what they learned in First Grade as building blocks to do their job today.
