WCS Mission
To cultivate the ability,
intellect, and character of each student.
WCS Vision
The Williamson County
Schools is a student-centered, academically
enriching district that supports the collaborative
educational efforts of students, teachers, staff and
community.
First Grade
The main
focus of first grade is Language Arts, with an emphasis on
teaching reading through a balanced literacy approach.
In addition
to our basal reading program, reading is enriched by guided reading groups for
small group instruction, Reading Buddies and daily homework practice that
encourages parents to play a role in this "growing" process. Our writing curriculum encourages
self-expression and proper writing mechanics through journal and story
writing. Our Math and Science curriculum is based on a
hands-on approach to facilitate higher order thinking skills. Social
Studies lessons are presented in thematic units and center around family
and community. |
