elementary school teaching?

Gennie Shauer: Prayers and Dr.Zuez stuff

Caterina Yeargan: Hey genius if ur planning on being a teacher i strngly suggest that u dont....if u dont even knjow wwhat they teach then its hopeless

Rayford Latz: How to write letters, the sounds they make, and how to put them together to make words. how to read those words, rhyme those words, associate those words, etcHow to write numbers, number words, add and subtract, sequence count, tell time to the hour, days of the week, seasons of the year, months of the year, etc.Basic science, careers, local community maps, etc....Show more

Booker Moros: There are a different set of standards and curriculum set for each state and each school system within that state. You could search for the state you are in and look for (state) standards for first grade. This will give you a better place to start because there will be a lot of things that depend on the state you live in as to what they teach in the first grade.

Maye Delk: i remember they taught me how to write my letters and they let us mail stuff

Bibi Tyron: Most of first grade is spent focusing on basic math skills and learning how to read. In math, students are working on developing strategies for simple computation...ex. when learning to add by counting (7+5 by drawing lines and counting), learning how to add on (ex. 7+5 would be 7 then 8,9,10,11,12), using 10 as a landmark (ex. 7+5 would be 7+3 to get 10 and then 2 more which would be 12). In reading, students focus on phonemic awareness (knowing how to sound out a word), word 'families' and word parts (ex. the =at family...c +at=cat b+at=bat), basic spelling patterns (ex vowel+consonant +e=long vowel sound), and learning high frequency sight words. A little science (floating, sinking, weather, magnets, etc.), some social studies (usually studying communities) and you've got first grade. Of course, these are just generalizations...your best bet is to go to your s! tate's department of public instruction website and look throu! gh your state standards for more specifics....Show more

Renita Sefton: Gigi,To be real specific, go to the state you reside in and get on the district web site and search for the state grade bench marks, objectives, performance goals. Each state will tell you to the T what is to be taught in each grade for each subject.

Idell Mulliniks: Hi. I had been a Paraprofessional (teacher's aid) for five years and work with 1st grade teachers. Basically, teachers in that grade teach the basic subjects:MathScienceLanguage ArtsSocial StudiesReading ComprehensionAs you teach these subjects you can also combine them together. And make the lesson fun and educational. But before you begin to teach, you need to get each student a dianogies test to figure out what are their weakness and greatness. And help out those students who need the extra help and push. If you have any questions, please email me....Show more

Jodie Capella: What state are you planning to teach in? Look ! up the state standards for your state and look at first grade. As an example, here is the link to the 1st grade mathematics standards in California that I was charged with teaching during the 6 of 8 years that I taught 1st grade when I was in the classroom.http://www.cde.ca.gov/be/st/ss/mthgrade1.aspEvery other discipline (language arts, science, social studies, ELD, visual arts, performing arts, etc.)As I always say, 1st grade teachers "teach everything under the sun"...Show more

Joeann Hoyt: Each state has different standards and frameworks.First grade is a very hard grade to teach. The best teachers need to be teaching first grade. Foundations of reading, such as phonemic awareness, phonics, and reading comprehension are taught. Also, foundational math concepts are taught. All while nurturing these little people that are closer to be a baby than they are being teenagers. Very hard, yet very rewarding.

Abel Adger: I'm not too sure. I've only worked with 2nd an! d 3rd graders, but from what I can guess for the math portion it would ! be simple addition. If I were you I would check out the Standards of Learning for your state. For first grade it would be sections 1.0 and up to 1.9. Just try googling " (Your State) Standards of Learning)" and that should give you a decent idea!Good luck!...Show more

Forest Duttinger: Good Lord! No wonder public schools are failing.
