In her First Grade class, Mrs. Lynn Mendoza tries to enhance the intellectual, academic, social and emotional growth of each student. By the time students come to First Grade they are excited to absorb new material. They learn thousands of words, begin to have impressive spelling skills and can understand how words and language work. It is also Mrs. Mendoza's goal to encourage students to be lifelong readers.

Here is an overview of what students learn in First Grade:

• Development of Essential Math Skills like Addition and Subtraction
• Development of Reading Skills for Comprehension and Learning
• Development of Social Communication and Point of View Recognition between Students
