sentences to create a story.
Accelerated Reader: Students read a book during our AR

comprehension. Points are calculated for each quiz
and students are rewarded as points accumulate.

grade Georgia Performance Standards.
This organizes math skills that are necessary for first graders. There
are many opportunities for hands-on instruction. Some of the concepts we will
be learning about are addition, subtraction, money, numbers to 100, measurement
& time.
