 First Grade students at The Henderson International School
continue building on the successful foundation of our Kindergarten program. Our
educators continue working on building confidence and competence in the core
subject areas, as well as in the enrichment classes. In addition to academics,
First Graders at The Henderson International School are guided in learning to
become responsible members of their classrooms, and are given ample
opportunities to practice interacting with other students and adults in our
school community.
The academic program in First Grade continues to develop student skills in core
subjects, as well as enrichment classes. Emphasis on continuing development of
Reading and Math skills is a vital part of the daily curriculum. In addition to
the education opportunities during the school day, Students in the First Grade
and higher have a wide variety of after-school programs to choose from, ranging
from Choir to Chess to Science Club. These voluntary programs are a rewarding
and integral part of many students' experiences at The Henderson International
School, and provide meaningful connections with their peers beyond the
classroom.
While our First Grade educators continue the tradition of excellence in
instruction for all subjects, having all First Grade students reading
independently by the end of the school year is their greatest achievement. As
students leave First grade, they are avid readers, choosing their own books and
reading them without outside assistance.
