Question

What should first graders learn in the classroom?

Answer 1

you need to look at the grade level expectations for 1st grade.  Different states call them different things, but basically it breaks down every thing a first grader needs to know to meet standard.  For example, a first grader in WA needs to be able to write from 1-100.  Or, a first grader needs to be able to summarize a story (beginning, middle, end).

Answer 2

You mean in addition to reading, writing & arithmetic?  How to get along, how to work together, respect for one another, that we're all unique, that to be successful in life we must contribute & work hard, that we not be a tattle tale, but if something is important, we should tell you in private, to be responsible for our things >>> you know, all those things children should've learned from their parents, but might not have.  

Good luck.
