First Grade

Welcome to First Grade at Centennial Elementary! We are excited to be your first grade teachers. At our school we place our students first in everything we do. A goal for first grade is to help our students feel confident in their reading and math capabilities. In order to help our students grow as readers, we use Benchmark Advance curriculum and differentiated instruction both in small targeted reading groups and whole class lessons to foster a love for reading. For math, we use the Everyday Math 4 which engages students in higher level thinking mathematical concepts. Also as a first grade team we value our students' social emotional learning and each week students participate in our Second Step program where they practice problem solving skills. We can't wait to see our students grow as learners in first grade.
