Welcome to First Grade!

Let’s get to the “root” of learning in first grade at Bull Run! The core areas consist of reading, writing, math, social studies, science and health. We sow the seeds of language arts through differentiated reading instruction, word study, writing, handwriting and whole group mini lessons. We also sow the seeds of math through differentiated instruction and activities, problem solving and whole group mini lessons.  
We are fortunate to have the support of our specialists in physical education, music, and art. It is our plan that you will also be an integral part of this learning journey.
As the apple tree has many seasons, so is true of the learning journey.
We look forward to this year long journey together.

We have provided the links below to enhance your child’s learning experience.
