Answer 1

Kindergartners master and review the alphabet. They learn to count to 100 and do simple addition in math. They also learn about community helpers and simple science concepts. They learn to print their names and the letters of the alphabet.

First graders are actively learning to read 1 syllable words and sight words. They add and subtract, count money, and tell time. They often study American symbols or countries around the world and simple science concepts like the properties of air and water, plants, and animals. They do more handwriting and start writing sentences.

www.worldbook.com has a Typical Course of Study from Preschool through Grade 12 that gives bulleted lists of what students typically cover at each grade level. Perhaps that may help you on your career paper.

Teachers read books to children at all elementary grade levels.
