First grade represents the first year of growth and improvement in schooling. Counting becomes addition and subtraction. Words become sentences. First-grade kids are introduced to more complicated social topics such as culture and scientific subjects like potential versus kinetic energy. The Learning Library’s first-grader resources are engaging and skills-based to help young students seamlessly transition into the next phase of their education.

Resources to Build on First Grade Foundations

As small scholars continue to grow in height, their brains grow as well. The Learning Library is an easy-to-navigate source for teachers and parents. The library of resources provides academic yet stimulating guided lessons, lesson plans, hands-on challenges and more that are created by ace educators.

First-grade students continue to build a strong educational foundation while being introduced to a wider variety of topics such as map reading and the anatomy of plants. In addition to old-school pen-and-paper school work, first-grade is a time students become more comfortable with computers. While many adults may have never had computer or typing courses in school, today students are introduced to computers and keyboards right off the bat. Games with captivating and colorful illustrations help first-graders learn how to use the spacebar, get familiar with key locations and begin to type words. Learning typing skills at a young age supports accuracy and speed as they grow.

Beyond the keyboard and traditional subjects, the resource library offers tools on mindfulness, mindful eating, self-awareness, and other self-improvement methods so kids can absorb more of the world around them and gain resilience and compassion.

1st grade online learning | Home School InternetLesson

at the Internet Lesson Home School

You can study remotely from the very first grade! Home school "InternetUrok" accepts students from 6. 5 years old, and you can apply to one of our partner schools at any time of the year.

Home school "Internet Lesson" allows you to study from anywhere and at any time , because all lessons are held remotely and without reference to the general schedule.

How is it going

The standard schedule of the Home School "Internet Lesson" provides 1-2 lessons per day , no more than 1 lesson per week for each subject. On average, a student needs about 3 hours of lessons per day to master the materials and do homework.

However, he can follow an individual schedule and master topics at a comfortable pace, study more or less material per day, and devote more time to favorite subjects. It is only important to complete tasks until the end of the corresponding quarter.

At the same time, the program fully complies with the Federal State Educational Standard of the Russian Federation and does not miss anything. This is possible due to the fact that the student is not distracted by classmates, and the teacher does not waste time discussing disciplinary issues. Study time is spent more productively, and knowledge is given in a more concentrated manner.

How each topic is studied:

View video tutorials

the student watches the video lesson and the recommended materials for it

Consultations with a teacher

the student watches the video of the consultation and, together with the parents, learns to ask questions to the teacher in an active chat

Individual chat with the teacher

you can ask a question in an individual chat with a teacher and get an answer within 15 minutes

Interactive simulators

you can work out the acquired knowledge on interactive simulators

Tests

interactive testing with automatic check serves to test knowledge

Hometasks

independent implementation of various DZ

Feedback

teachers check homework, grade and leave detailed recommendations

What subjects are studied

In accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, the following subjects are studied in grade 1:

Russian language

literary reading

mathematics

environment

ISO

music

technology

physical education

Are parents involved in learning

In the first grade, the participation of parents in the educational process is necessary. It is required both to adapt the child to school and get used to daily activities, and to study computer technology and complete school assignments.

During classes, it is advisable to read the received tasks aloud, to help, support and control the student during their implementation. In the future, the student will acquire more and more independence, and less and less participation will be required from the parent.

Q&A

How do consultations work and how do they differ from video tutorials?

The consultations are videos that explain in detail the points that cause the most questions. Consultations are a constructive addition to video tutorials. They are formed on the basis of a deep analysis of the development of the topic by schoolchildren. At the same time, the student can ask questions to the teacher in the chat and get answers promptly.

How are physical education and music classes going?

Lessons in non-academic subjects, including physical education, music, fine arts and technology, are held once a quarter - remotely, like all other lessons. The task of the teacher is not to control every step of the student, but to instill interest and an individual approach to the subject, the desire to improve and lead a healthy lifestyle.

In physical education, the student records a video on which he performs the standards and uploads it for the teacher to check. Clear goals are set for the student, and their implementation is recorded.

If a child attends circles and sections, can he not complete homework in non-academic subjects?

Receipt of a certificate instead of completing a homework assignment is possible in some cases in the following subjects: physical education, music, fine arts, technology. Read more here.

If the student has an exemption from physical education, you must send a certificate to [email protected], and you will be provided with topics for written work.

Why is a mentor needed? Does it replace the participation of parents in the educational process?

The mentor does not replace the parents in the learning process, but helps the first grader to effectively adapt to the lessons. A mentor can be a senior friend and helper. He instills in the student the skills of self-organization, perseverance and commitment, and provides parents with an accurate analysis of their success in mastering the school curriculum with recommendations on what to pay attention to in the first place.

How to move to the next class?

To move to the next grade, a first grade student of the Internet Lesson Home School must complete the minimum number of homework assignments for certification in each quarter in each subject. Works that are part of the mandatory minimum are marked in the homework section with the phrase: “Important! Completion of this work is mandatory for the final grade for the quarter. Compulsory homework assignments are additionally highlighted in journals and in the schedule with an exclamation mark.

Is a student's file filed?

When studying at the Home School "Internet Lesson" in the format "With enrollment" in the 1st grade, a student has a personal file, which is maintained throughout the entire period of study.

What textbooks do you need?

For a complete list of required textbooks, see the link.

More than 19,000 students study with us

The school is good, we have been studying for 4 years with three children. The youngest son did not study at a regular school at all, he immediately went to the 1st grade of interneturok.ru, he learned everything, write, read, of course, not without my help. It is hard for children, there is not enough time, they combine a regular school, we live in another country.

Are we only in 1st grade this year? I was very worried about how everything would turn out, how we would cope with our studies, because for us this is a completely new and unusual stage. But my fears were in vain, my daughter is happy to study, even she asks me to start classes as soon as possible? But it was the quality of education and the child's interest in learning that were the determining factors for my husband and me when choosing this form of education. And the Yiwu Home School made us very happy! I hope everything will continue to be just as easy and interesting?

We are from Georgia. Went to 1st grade. Your school has opened the way for us to calm and quality education. The child likes it very much. I didn't want to go to a regular school. With such training, I myself control the homework and am always calm that my child is safe and always there. Many thanks to those who created this school!!! You give children the opportunity not only to get a good education, but also to do their favorite things and attend different circles at the same time.

Hello, we are son Kamit and mother Katya, from Almaty (Kazakhstan), but we live in Cairo (Egypt). Due to frequent relocations (both parents are musicians), and the incomprehensible situation with the coronavirus and schools, we decided to choose an Internet lesson school. With pleasure, the child learns, but he does not like to write! ?

how to organize family education at home for children in grade 1

Reasons for homeschooling for first graders

Family education (synonym - home ) is a form of education outside of school (Article 17 of the Law "On Education in the Russian Federation"), which implies independent development of the main educational program. The responsibility for the quality of education lies with the parents.

Here are the main reasons why families prefer not to send their children to a traditional mass school, but to teach at home:

• Parents are dissatisfied with the general level of education in free public schools and do not want to enroll their children there.
• Parents often travel and cannot be tied to one location, and constantly changing schools and getting used to a new team is an additional stress for a small child.
• A son or daughter is already professionally engaged in sports, music or creative work at a young age. Busy rehearsal or practice schedules will not be easy to fit into a high school schedule.
• The child is often ill or has health problems.

Homeschooling a first grader will be a great way out - you can choose how, what and when to study, travel and plan your schedule.

Practical organizational tips for teaching first graders

Decide on a homeschooling program for Grade 1

Primary school lays the foundations of a child's education, basic literacy in basic subjects and attitude to learning. It is important to make the program interesting so that the kid really likes to learn something new. But it is necessary to include basic subjects: reading, writing, mathematics, the world around us, preferably English.

Don't overdo it

When designing your curriculum and schedule, remember that first graders need plenty of rest and exercise. Do not immediately overload the child with five lessons of 45 minutes, as is customary in a public school. Family learning is flexible. You can always adjust plans and make changes on the go, focusing on the situation. Work out a little less today, and more tomorrow. Monitor your own state and mood of the child when you study at home with a first grader.

Set up a workplace

It is important to teach your child to work in a comfortable and healthy environment from a young age. Of course, you can study at home on the couch, but the spine is unlikely to say thank you.

Get the right table and chair together with your first grader. But remember that a first-grader must create his own place of study - only some help is required from you. A conscious choice will immediately form a positive attitude towards new responsibilities.

Help the first grader set up his computer so that he can use it easily. Connect high-speed Internet, install the latest version of the browser and antivirus, purchase a headset. When organizing home schooling for a first grader, keep in mind that the recommended distance from the eyes to the computer screen is at least 50 cm.

Add Interactivity

school. Today, schoolchildren have a unique opportunity to learn not only with the help of books, but also using various interactive resources on the Internet. Use sites and applications for first graders to make the learning process more interesting.

Think about socialization

Parents are often afraid that their child will have no one to be friends with and communicate with in family education. Of course, this is a myth, a first grader will not be isolated from the outside world within four walls. On the contrary, there is more free time and, accordingly, opportunities - choose circles and sections that your heart desires.

Be a mentor

Children are naturally inquisitive and eager to learn new things. Try to guide the first grader, and not teach and impose your opinion. Create a comfortable learning environment for him and provide all the opportunities for the child to study in the first grade.

Connect helpers

When organizing family education for a first grader, take a closer look at online schools. They take care of scheduling, curriculum and teacher selection, and you just enjoy the results. It is especially convenient if you have several children in family education - it is not always easy to coordinate schoolchildren on your own.
