First Grade
Welcome to Auburn Elementary 1st Grade!
We offer a 1st Grade program that is aligned with the Michigan Department of Education's Core Content State Standards. Our program is designed to support individualized learning through systems of intervention, support and activities such as:
- Hands-on Guided Math and Reading Content Centers
- Differentiated Instruction (Multiple Intelligences Research)
- Collaborative Learning (Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures)
- Tier II Guided Intervention Program. This program individualizes student learning goals by focusing our staff on informal and formal student achievement data to identify Core Content State Standards that challenge students academically. Each Trimester student data is reviewed, collaboratively, by grade level staff in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics content. Students are then grouped, within their grade level and classrooms and with their peers, according to their content strengths and weaknesses. Students will receive instruction and enrichment that focuses on the acquisition and enhancement of the Core Content State Standards and then are reassessed for mastery.
- On-going Progress Monitoring using the Michigan Literacy Progress Profile and NWEA (Northwest Educational Assessment).
- Instructional Technology (video projection system w/ document camera, I-Pad, wireless internet, MOBI device)
