What you’ll learn

  • Physical milestones
  • Cognitive milestones
  • Language milestones
  • Social and emotional milestones

Moving up from kindergarten means big changes. Not so much in physical skills, but in the way kids begin to think and interact with the world. There’s a lot of growth in social and thinking skills in first grade.

Check out these developmental milestones to get a sense of which skills are typical for first graders.

  • Signs and symptoms

Physical milestones

Most kids gain stamina and coordination during first grade. They may start the year a little uncoordinated, because the big muscles in their arms and legs are better developed than the small muscles they use for smaller movements. What kids can do physically this year doesn’t change as much as how well they’re able to do it.

By the end of first grade, most kids will:

  • Have improved hand-eye coordination for things like tying shoelaces
  • Be able to dance in time with the music — and even add some cool moves like spinning in place without moving from one spot
  • Have handwriting that’s getting neater and easier to read
  • Run, hop, skip, and jump
  • Throw and kick a ball, and catch it with both hands
  • Copy shapes and letters
  • Know how to use utensils the right way (even if they don’t always do it!)
  • May begin playing a musical instrument
  • Ride a bike without training wheels
  • Be capable of doing chores like sweeping or making the bed
  • Tie shoes and button and zip independently

Cognitive milestones

Kids’ thinking skills this year allow them to start exploring the world to find answers to their own questions. During first grade, most kids:

  • Start developing the skills to reason and think logically
  • Try to think about things before making decisions
  • Learn from what they hear and read — not just from what they see and do
  • Have trouble making choices because they want to do everything at once
  • Can read several sight words (words they see frequently and can read without sounding out) and sound out other words
  • Begin to have a better sense of time, understanding increments of time, days, weeks, months, and seasons
  • Predict what comes next in a pattern, and recognize and create their own patterns
  • Count to 100 by ones, twos, fives, and tens
  • Write and recognize the numerals 0 to 100, and the words for numbers from one to twenty
  • Do basic addition and subtraction up to 20

Language milestones

By the start of first grade, kids may use language in long and complicated sentences to talk about the past, present, and future. But this year, they may start combining spoken language with reading and writing. First graders typically:

  • Start sounding out words
  • Understand the relationship between letters and sounds
  • Know, use, and understand thousands of words
  • Stop reversing letters (by the end of first grade)
  • Try to express feelings with words, but may resort to aggression when upset
  • Use words to convince people of their viewpoint and to tell stories
  • Tell jokes and riddles, and may understand simple puns
  • Tell little lies about everyday things

First-grade social-emotional skills are an interesting mix of independence and an increased need for your attention and approval. By the time they turn 7, kids typically start to understand that friendships aren’t something they can control by themselves. That may make them a little anxious. Many kids also:

  • Are more independent, but less secure (they may want a lot of attention and approval from adults)
  • Form and break friendships easily, and can be critical of other kids
  • Get their feelings hurt more easily and start being very aware of other people’s feelings
  • Are eager to please and want to “be first” and win
  • Understand right from wrong, but look for the loopholes in rules to get what they want
  • Are more aware of how others see them
  • Begin to understand what it means to feel embarrassed

There’s a lot of variation in how quickly kids develop skills throughout first grade. But if a child isn’t doing most of these things by the end of first grade, parents and teachers should talk about what they’re seeing, and what might help.

Parents and caregivers should also share their concerns with their child’s health care provider. If a child needs support in some skill areas, now is a good time to start.

Take a look forward at developmental milestones for second and third graders.

Key takeaways

  • First graders often start using language for new things, like telling jokes or convincing others of their viewpoint.

  • A first grader may seem more independent, but still needs emotional support and approval.

  • If a child isn’t meeting most of the milestones, parents and caregivers should talk with their child’s teacher and health care provider.

During 1st grade your child will learn to express herself with words, both spoken and written. She'll continue to read (or hear the teacher read) fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, but this year she'll be asked open-ended questions about the material to improve reading comprehension. Here are some specific reading and writing milestones you can expect your first grader to reach. Keep in mind that educational standards vary from state to state (even from one school district to the next) and that children develop at different rates, so your child may not do everything on this list.

In first grade, your child will learn to

  • Print uppercase and lowercase letters accurately
  • Print from left to right and to work from the top to the bottom of a page
  • Print her first and last name, with correct capitalization
  • Write clear and coherent sentences and paragraphs that develop an idea
  • Use adjectives when writing a sentence. ("The big brown dog chased my mom's car. ")
  • Write several sentences about a specific experience, such as the best thing that happened to her over the weekend
  • Read about 100 words, especially common ones such as "have," "go," "said," "give," and "the"
  • Ask questions about something she's read
  • Recognize the difference between singular and plural nouns
  • Sound out unfamiliar words
  • Understand the difference between words, sentences, and paragraphs
  • Add, remove, or change sounds to change words — for example, changing "sun" to "run" and "cat" to "bat"
  • Read contractions, such as "don't," and some compound words, such as "rowboat"
  • Respond to "who," "what," "where," and "how" questions
  • Follow one-step written instructions
  • Figure out what unfamiliar words mean by thinking about the story in which it appears or the words around it
  • Use basic punctuation — for example, writing a sentence with the first letter of the first word capitalized and a period, exclamation point, or question mark at the end
  • Pronounce all the consonant and vowel sounds
  • Sound out consonant blends, such as cl and br, and digraphs like sh, ch, and th. (These skills will develop toward the end of the school year.)
  • Predict the subject of a book based on the cover illustration
  • Identify the main character, setting, and events after reading or hearing a story
  • Distinguish between truth and make-believe in a story
  • Read and explain her own writing and drawing
  • Read different types of literature such as fiction, nonfiction, and poetry
  • Identify ways in which stories she reads relate to her own life

The teacher will ask your first grader to spend a big chunk of her reading time reading out loud. This gives her plenty of practice making consonant and vowel sounds. During reading periods the teacher will probably ask open-ended questions about the stories to help your child develop comprehension skills. She may try to bring the stories to life, too, by cooking a batch of green eggs and ham, for instance, on the day the class is reading the Dr. Seuss favorite.

When your child starts to write complete sentences, the teacher might have her do "fill in the blank" exercises, such as completing the phrase "I feel happy when..." Some teachers encourage writing skills by asking students to keep a journal or to write down new words they've learned in class or at home.

Quick reading comprehension test

To see if your first grader is moving from "learning to read" to "reading to learn," try this exercise from the U.S. Department of Education.Opens a new window Ask your child to read the following excerpt from Franklin Is Bossy by Paulette Bourgeois. Then test her comprehension by asking her questions such as "What did Franklin do in his room?"

In his room, Franklin built a castle. He made a cape to be brave in. He made shields and swords and suits of armor. He drew pictures. He played house. He read stories. He played by himself for one whole hour, and then he didn't know what to do. So, Franklin went looking for company. His friends were in the river, cooling off.

Official site of the school №1 named after. A.S. Popova, Udomlya

The 85th anniversary of Udomlya School No. 1, our school, is approaching!

The history of school No. 1 goes far into the past.

There was a time when it was the only organization that provided education to the population, and throughout all the years of its existence it carried the title of First with honor.

1. The history of education in Udomlya.
The history of education in Udomlya dates back to 1883 - Zemstvo Panoshinskaya school, where two teachers worked. This is a very old school on the street. Sverdlova, d. No. 5 was administered by the Vyshnevolotsky Zemstvo. Currently, this is the building of the former House of Pioneers.
The zemstvo school was a 4-grade school and, as follows from the regulation approved on July 14, 1864, was intended to affirm religious and moral concepts among the people and disseminate initial useful knowledge. At school they were taught to read, write, count, and it was obligatory to know the law of God. Much attention was paid to the oral count within 100. The head was Petukhova Elizaveta Konstantinovna, and the teacher was Tihomandritskaya Anna Arsenievna.
In 1914, the Higher Primary School appeared in Udomlya. It was located in a two-story wooden building, which has not survived today, on the territory of the future secondary school. Gromova Praskovya Petrovna graduated from this school, later becoming a teacher and head teacher of the same school. During the Great Patriotic War, Praskovya Petrovna worked in the evacuation hospital, which was located in our school.
1914 is the date of the birth of our school and the establishment of secondary education in our native Udomlya. The children of wealthy merchants studied at this school mainly: the Gudovskys, the Solovyovs, the Demidovs, and the Myasnitskys. The school provided for four years of paid education and was a pro-gymnasium, after which one could enter a gymnasium.

2. After the reform of 1918 , the school became known as the Unified Labor School, grades 5-6 were opened. The industrialist Kalinin, wishing to appear as a populist, handed over his building to the Ministry of Education of Russia, in which the school was located.

In 1921 the school was divided into 1st and 2nd levels. After graduating from the 2nd stage school (grades 5-9), it was possible to enter the institute. Our future teachers studied at this school: Bakhvalova Olga, Sorokina Anna, Orlova L., writer Ivanov Leonid.
In 1923, the secondary school became independent, and its importance in the life of the volost is very eloquently confirmed by the following event: in October 1925, a radio receiver was installed in one of the first schools in the volost, in the Udomlya secondary school.
In the 1920s, Khilmonchik Vladimir Stepanovich became the director of the school, replacing Ivan Alexandrovich Subbotin.
It was the secondary school that in the 1920s was very attractive to young people. “The Udomlya school could not accept everyone,” recalls its graduate, writer Leonid Ivanov. - Examinations were arranged for those entering the fifth grade. I myself took exams in the 25th year. They lasted two weeks, after which 40 people were enrolled out of 82 entering the fifth grade.
Every day before classes, the students sang a prayer - a troparion to the saints. The discipline was very strict. Sometimes students had to beg for forgiveness almost on their knees.
Until 1918, education was paid and amounted to 24 rubles a year, and a pood of bread (16 kg) cost 80 kopecks. The form was obligatory, textbooks, notebooks - all this had to be bought. Many students were from villages and needed to pay for an apartment.
The academic disciplines included: mathematics, Russian, history, geography, German, natural history, literature, singing and the Law of God. It was only in the 1920s that the Law of God was withdrawn from school subjects.
The first graduation took place in 1921, among the graduates there were subsequently many famous people: Milyukova Feodosia Ivanovna (architect of Leningrad), Gusev Nil Mikhailovich (admiral of the fleet), Yakovlev Anatoly Mikhailovich (designer).

3. Teachers of the Udomlya school, together with high school students, made up the main detachment of the local intelligentsia. All four children of the radio inventor Alexander Stepanovich Popov became the first teachers of the Udomlya school and worked there from the age of 19.18 to 1926.

Alexander Stepanovich Popov visited his estate every summer from 1901 to 1905. He liked to swim for a long time on the lake, he collected a collection of stones, chalcedony and limestone with inclusions of petrified animal remains. This collection was kept in the local history museum for a long time, and is currently stored in the museum's storerooms.
After the death of her husband, Raisa Alekseevna went to the estate every summer with her children, the care of which required great attention. Raisa Alekseevna taught health care at school and provided free medical care to the peasants of nearby villages, and even before the revolution raised the issue of building a hospital in Udomlya (she was a doctor, like her mother). However, the opening of a simple hospital took place only at 1920 year. Raisa Alekseevna Popova herself worked as the first doctor for six months, practically for free, receiving only food rations.
Son Stepan taught history, music, singing at school, organized a drama circle. At the end of 1919 he was mobilized into the Red Army.
Popov's 2nd son, Alexander Alexandrovich, taught mathematics and drawing since 1918. To get acquainted with the artists and their work, he organized a summer hike for students from Udomlya to the Chaika dacha. In 1926, in the village of Laikovo, Alexander Alexandrovich installed the first radio receiver.
Since the autumn of 1918, Raisa Alexandrovna has been working at the Udomlya school as a teacher of the German language and hygiene. Work at the school was interrupted in 1919 by mobilization for service in hospitals. Since 1948, she has been the permanent head of the Popov Memorial Museum-Apartment in Leningrad.
Until the end of their days, Raisa Aleksandrovna and Ekaterina Aleksandrovna, according to the testimony of the granddaughter of the scientist Ekaterina Kyandskaya-Popova, believed that in Udomlya there were the best comrades at work and the best students. Leonid Ivanov also recalls this. “The Popov family was a kind of cultural center. In the evenings, young people gathered in their house in Laikovsky forest. Everyone had the opportunity to join the art, sing, draw, discuss. There was a big white piano in the house, concerts were held.
During the war, the forest was overgrown with pines and there was no trace of the handsome house, no pointer to it. But in 1992, Lake Kubycha, together with the water area and the islands, were declared a natural monument.
The memory of the Popov family has not disappeared. In 1931, the peasants proposed to name the collective farm after Popov, adding it to the name of the village, it turned out Laikovo-Popovo. Stalin Street in 1961 was renamed Popov Street, since it was along it that A.S. Popov went to the station.

4. At 19In 31, the schools of the first and second levels merged and began to be located on the same territory, in the former houses of the manufacturer Kalinin.

Until 1933 Andrey Osipovich Maldov was the director of the school.
In 1932 the school was transformed into a school for peasant youth. For convenience, a hostel was opened, in which there was no furniture, no beds, no bed linen. The students brought everything themselves. They also cooked their own food from what was available. Products were stored under the beds, on the windows. The lighting was kerosene. Only later was a kitchen organized, where dinners were bought for money.
In the period from 1933 to 1943 the school was headed by Aleksey Kirillovich Razygraev.
In 1934, the Udomlya school was approved as "exemplary" and had well-equipped polytechnic workshops: carpentry and metalwork.

5. Secondary school.

And yet the main date of birth of the Udomlya secondary school is 1936.
This year the school was given the status of a secondary school and the 10th grade was recruited for the first time. The first issue in 1937 consisted of 19 people.
1 September 1937 years the first half of the building (the first wing) went into operation, and a year later the entire school received students.
A physics office was created at the school using bonus money received from Moscow for good teaching and educational work.
In 1941 a garden was founded under the guidance of biology teacher Soboleva Vera Aleksandrovna. The school became a participant in agricultural exhibitions.

6. 1941 is a fiery year. The whole country stood up to defend the Motherland in the terrible hour of the war.

Teachers and students of the school went to the front. The school turned into a hospital and was evacuated to the village of Mushino.

The war claimed millions of lives, among them were 31 graduates and 4 teachers of our school - 35 people who went to war and never returned.
In 1941-1942 there was a front-line hospital in Laikovsky Bor.
In 1942, another evacuation hospital arrived to replace the front-line hospital, which filled the entire Udomlya. His chambers were also located in our school. This hospital stayed in Udomlya until March 1, 1944 years old.
In the 1941-1942 academic year, the school was located and worked on the premises of the Mushinsky seven-year school. The building of school No. 1 was destroyed during the explosions, but in 1942 the school returned to Udomlya and was housed in eight rooms in the village, which made the work of teachers very difficult. In such conditions, the school worked until 1944. The teaching staff was not permanent: teachers went to the front, went to evacuation.
From 1939 to 1943, the director of the school was Aleksey Kirillovich Razygraev.
C 1943 years old, Filaretov Petr Yakovlevich became the director of the school.
Since 1943, final verification tests have been introduced. In the 1943-1944 academic year, 8 people graduated from school - only girls, because. young men were drafted into the army and many of them died. The war years were extremely difficult. Students from grades 5 to 10 were preparing firewood for the school.
In 1944, a new subject was introduced into the school - basic military training. This subject was led by Voinov Petr Vasilyevich, demobilized from the front due to a wound. The school paid great attention to military-patriotic education and physical training. Boys studied military affairs 5 hours a week, girls were trained to be signalmen and nurses. For all students, daily morning exercises on the street were mandatory. Every year, among the 4th - 10th grades, the military game "To Defeat" was held. And on May 1, a parade of students was held, where they carried their small arms. The girls were dressed as nurses or signalmen.
In 1944-1945, the school returned to its buildings, but restoration work was carried out in many classrooms, there was no electricity, no windows. In the same academic year, the final examinations for the matriculation certificate were introduced. Of the 22 people, only 4 had “3” in their certificates, the rest had “4 and 5”. In the early post-war years, under the guidance of teachers, students began to work on collective farms harvesting crops.
In 1947, a monument to V.I. Lenin, which in 1970 was moved to the center of the village, and in its place a monument to A.S. Popov was erected.
For active fruitful work, the head teacher of the school, teacher Gromova Praskovya Petrovna, in 1949 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, the medal "For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945." (she was a nurse in the hospital, which was in our school).
In 1955, P.P.Gromova was awarded the title of “Honored School Teacher of the RSFSR” and was awarded the badge “Excellent Worker of Public Education”.
Gromova P.P. was above 90%.
In 1953, a chapel was moved from the village of Panoshino, the building of which became a gym.
Director of the school Petr Yakovlevich Filaretov was awarded by the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR with the badge "Excellence in Public Education". At sports competitions, students won prizes, received diplomas at amateur art shows, the school administration often received gratitude from the regional leadership in education and training.
In 1956 - 1963 The school is headed by Artamonov Mikhail Nikitovich.
In 1957, a building for an elementary school was moved from the village of Zabolotye, later transferred to a store.
In 1956-63, the school had large school plots where they grew corn, beets and potatoes, worked in greenhouses, bred ducks and rabbits, and annually kept 3-4 piglets for boarding school.
In 1958, the school decided to organize a rabbit farm and sell at least 300 rabbits to the state for meat. The farm was headed by biology teacher Shutilov Ilya Dmitrievich. The work of the farm began with 12 rabbits, which were brought to school by the children themselves. For care, a link of young naturalists was organized in the amount of 6 people. Difficulties were in the summer, as the school canteen did not work and there was no waste, the guys had to mow and tear grass for animals, but the obligation taken by the school was fulfilled. From July 19At the age of 57, a Komsomol-youth camp at the Rassvet collective farm began to work. The students helped the collective farm to raise agriculture.
Since 1962, the school switched to industrial training and became known as the Polytechnic School. The subject of tractor business has been introduced, the school trains livestock breeders and field farmers, and sewing is taught. At the end of the school, young men received the specialty of a tractor driver, and girls - the specialty of an agronomist, livestock breeder, field grower or seamstress.
Twice, from 1963 to 1964 and from 1969 to 1973, the director of the school was Krotov Nikolai Nikolaevich, who taught social science.
In 1964, the construction business was introduced into the school curriculum. The students laid the foundation of the building, where there was a dining room and workshops (now school No. 5), walls and ceilings were erected. The teaching staff consisted of 45 people. The building has been in use since 1968!
From 1964 to 1969 the school was headed by Ivanov Nikolai Mikhailovich.
In 1964, a DOSAAF center was opened at the school on a voluntary basis, where all young men were required to study 4 times a month. The head of the station is the teacher Sergeev Yakov Ilyich.
In 1965, the Udomlya secondary school was named after Alexander Stepanovich Popov, the inventor of the radio. On June 30 of the same year, a class-museum named after him was opened. At the same time, the Lenin room-class, the room of military glory, was opened.
The school paid great attention to the implementation of the tourist direction: there were excursions around the native land, beyond its borders to various industries in the city of V-Volochka, Novgorod region, to the Suvorov house-museum, to Lake Seliger, to Peno.
In 1966 and 1971, the school was enrolled as a participant in VDNKh for junior experimental work on the school site. The leader Shutilov Ilya Dmitrievich received a certificate of participation in the exhibition, was awarded a bronze medal and a watch.
In the 1967-68 academic year, the plan for universal secondary education was brought to the school for the first time, the school moves to new programs. Teacher Ivanova Valentina Ivanovna voluntarily, as an experiment, took up the teaching of the 1st grade according to new programs and successfully coped with this. For her success in her work, she was awarded the title of "Excellence in Public Education".
On July 12, 1970, in front of the facade of the school, the grand opening of the monument to AS Popov, the inventor of the radio, whose name the school bears, took place. The rally was attended by guests of honor: Marshal of the Signal Corps of the Soviet Army Ivan Terentyevich Peresypkin, scientists of the Leningrad Institute of Radio Electronics I.V. Brenev and V.N. Raisa Alexandrovna, as well as graduates of the 20s.
The initiative in the creation and installation of the monument belongs to the daughters of the scientist.
The monument was made in Leningrad at one of the stone-cutting factories. Great help in the delivery of the monument to Udomlya was provided by a former resident of the village of Sokolov Stepan Fedorovich. Information about the opening of the monument was published on the pages of local and central newspapers, as well as placed in one of the newspapers in France. Ekaterina Alexandrovna Popova sent this issue of the newspaper to the school for review.

" Our gymnasium is older than
All others, and before her,
Like a star on a dark night
There was only one in the capital "

The second St. Petersburg gymnasium is unique in its history. This is the country's oldest state gymnasium with the richest traditions on which the modern education system in Russia is built. On her example, one can trace the entire history of the formation of the Russian national school - the history of endless search and creativity.
St. Petersburg Provincial Gymnasium was founded September 7, 1805 by decree of the Emperor Alexander I .
The gymnasium is located in a historic building designed by architect L.P. Shishko. Monumental vaults, a wide front staircase, bright corridors - everything is fraught with the spirit of the past. N. N. Miklukho-Maclay, E. A. Mravinsky, A. F. Koni, A. A. Bryantsev and many other famous figures of science and art climbed these steps while still schoolboys.
It was here in 1828 that the first meeting of the Pedagogical Council in Russia and the first subject Olympiad for schoolchildren in 1840 were held, but most importantly, teachers worked here every day, whose experience formed the basis of the Russian education system. Prominent scientists, professors from St. Petersburg, Vienna, Berlin, Göttingen and Koenigsber universities were involved in teaching at the gymnasium.
The students of the Gymnasium were the glory of Russia.
In 1905, the Gymnasium was named after Emperor Alexander I. February 4, 1991 years old Gymnasium returned its historical name - Second St. Petersburg Gymnasium .
The Second St. Petersburg Gymnasium is a unique educational institution: it is a living history of the development of systematic education in Russia.
