First Graders at Skyway are primarily engaged in reading, writing, and math activities throughout the day. We emphasis fluency, comprehension, and mastery of basic skills. Our children are developing character traits based on the “Spirit of Skyway” values: responsibility, respect, human dignity, excellence, service, honesty, perseverance, and compassion. We believe that learning is a journey and that all students can learn. Please support your child with your time, patience, and love. Reading with your child is the most important gift you can give your first grader!
