FIRST GRADE OVERVIEW

The first grade experience at Madison Avenue Elementary helps each first grade child meet the academic and intellectual competencies expected at this grade level. Each child is encouraged to become an active, engaged learner in a classroom setting. In order for each student to realize his own personal potential, different teaching styles are utilized to best meet the needs of each student’s individual learning style.

Our first grade program builds on skills and knowledge children have learned in Kindergarten and at home. It encourages critical thinking, creativity, and respect for self and others.

First graders at Madison Avenue will study a variety of themes which incorporate all subject areas to meet the competencies at our grade level. Some of our themes include All About Me, Where We Live, Animal and Plant Differences, and Around the World with the Gingerbread Man. Our school year includes several special events like Mississippi Day and fall and spring field trips.
