Day in the Life

Grades 1 and 2

First and second graders at St. Simon Stock School further dive into their Math and ELA education, beginning work with manipulatives and increasingly complex concepts. Students work on their core studies via whole class instruction and small group collaboration that fosters leadership skills, teamwork and critical analysis. In Science, they conduct hands-on experiments, and in Social Studies, they focus on American history. Project-based learning encourages creativity and develops macro thinking.
