一年级和二年级
Walk down our Lower School hallways and you'll see a virtual art gallery of accomplishments. Each classroom rotates work from current subjects and allows you to appreciate just how encouraged our students feel in their ability to express themselves and how proud our teachers are in the diversity of learners they lead.
学生有很多机会成为独立的读者, writers, goal-setters, and thinkers. Teachers work to help students develop of good work habits, organization, and self-monitoring. Even at this level, computer science develops in students the skills for complex problem solving and logical thinking.
学生们对书籍和阅读的热情一年四季都在增长. Small group work fosters social growth and development as students encourage one another to succeed and take risks. Daily homeroom, 西班牙语教学, 特殊扩展单元, and field trips to complement subjects discussed in class round out the curriculum. The year for both grades culminates with an in-depth study and presentation bringing together reading, writing, 创造力和表达能力.

The Classroom
Students in the first and second grades spend much of their class time with their home room teacher. Students have in-room 西班牙语教学 every day along with a trip to the Carter Athletic Center for Physical Education where they learn skills that shape their understanding of various sports, 健身和团队合作. Students enjoy lunch at group tables in the Lemon Dining Hall where they can bring or buy their lunch from a diverse offering of healthy options. Students' seats are assigned but rotated monthly so that children can build friendships and relationships with all of their peers. Recess is an important part of the day and is followed by learning centers and specialized instruction in math, science, 和他们的班主任老师一起上历史和语言艺术课.
In second grade, 学生开始理解句子结构的微妙之处, 选词和正确使用标点的影响. 新加坡数学教学在二年级继续进行, 直到五年级, 并开始引入更大的数字分组. Addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers are made simple through grouping. 57 + 39很快被重新排列成50 + 30 + 7 + 3 + 6, 把问题分成十人或五人的偶数组, 为学生快速心算打下基础. |
The ‘More’
初出茅庐的作家在一年级学习
D'Nealian Cursive method to help develop fine motor skills and allow writers to think of words as wholes instead of parts, 这有助于提高阅读能力, 拼写和写作能力. Word Study in first and second grades builds vocabulary and an understanding of the nuances in spelling. The Singapore Math program utilizes the concept of number bonds to help students see the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and division and multiplication; they are mirror images. 音乐每周开两次会，主要是打击乐和合唱. 学生们每周离开教室去上一次美术课. 各种实地考察阐明了课堂上介绍的主题, even if it's a simple trip out back to the Lower School Garden where they see life cycles in action or a trip to Safari Park to learn about exotic animals. Each week, students go to Hancock Library for story time and to learn about concepts like inference and how illustration affects story telling. Our 持牌专业学校辅导员 与班级见面，强调尊重和善良的概念. 每年的高潮都是在我们礼堂的舞台上进行的一次演讲, 哪个来源于学生的研究. 一年级的题目是“欢迎来到罗阿诺克，Flat Stanley”!"; for second, 以歌曲为特色的非洲节目, instruments, 以及关于非洲大陆的文化/地理事实. 在9455澳门新葡萄娱乐场大厅，演讲从小就开始了, allowing students to feel comfortable in expressing their ideas in front of an audience.

The Third Grade
In third grade, the basics of sentence structure, communication and vocabulary are well practiced. Students can now rely on that knowledge as a foundation for allowing their creativity to take flight. 一个很好的例子就是每月的读书报告. Each month, students choose a book within a genre (historical fiction, biography, etc.)，但给他们一个不同的项目，向全班展示他们的选择. 不管是手机, 一个名人的纸上模型, a diorama, 或者一个插图故事, 学生们学习不同的方式来分享想法. Creativity soars. In addition, our Word Study program emphasizes phonics instruction to foster a deep understanding of spelling features rather than rote memorization. 使用新加坡数学, 学生们可能没有意识到这一点, 但是用文字问题，他们画出并解决, 三年级的学生实际上在做代数.
The Classroom
三年级的学生在不同的教室上课. 他们会从他们的教室开始, but move to separate classrooms for social studies and math or Language arts and science. This is also the first year students head to a separate classroom for 西班牙语教学, 致力于西班牙民族的语言和文化. Students have music, art, or library during their "specials" time period each day. In their classrooms they work in small groups determined by skill and social factors. Students are able to take part in the Lower School musical and in certain after-school clubs, like Robotics Club.

The ‘More’
The day of a second grader is spent similar to that of a first-grade student, however, 写作和阅读有了新的意义. 现在是有成就的读者了, these students can now focus on reading for comprehension instead of mastery. 因此，他们从故事中获取的意义开始演变. 学生开始理解句子结构的微妙之处, 选词和正确使用标点的影响. 新加坡的数学在二年级继续学习, 直到五年级, 并开始引入更大的数字分组. Addition and subtraction of large numbers are made simple through grouping and memorized math facts. 57 + 39重新排列成50 + 30 + 7 + 3 + 6, 把它分成十人一组或五人一组. Spanish continues, 今年在西班牙语厅, but now begins to develop their vocabulary into words that can be used to form sentences.
