First graders focus on being citizens. We work throughout the year on the meaning of being a citizen. We focus on our individual behaviors and how these behaviors impact our community. We focus on working together and learning that we are BETTER TOGETHER. We expand our understanding of being citizens of many communities, and we learn about being a member of the school community, the New Boston community, the New Hampshire community, the United States community, and the world community. Through this, we learn about mapping and geography, rules and laws, and history.
