Classes & Grades

What We Do in Grades Pre-K to 5

Pre-K

We have two Pre-K classes at Old Center, which provide students with an opportunity to experience and engage in learning through exploration, play and hands-on activities. The Creative Curriculum focuses on areas of social emotional, literacy and math skills. Our boys and girls are exploring learning through new lenses. Students participate in daily activities that encourage them to become independent and successful. Family engagement and partnerships are important as we provide students with their first public school experience.

Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten classes provide a warm, friendly and stimulating environment where children can grow and become confident learners. Academics are taken seriously, as we ensure that we are meeting the developmental and social needs of our students. Kindergarten provides the beginning stages for students to embrace their joy for learning. Building partnerships with our families is essential as we join in educating our students.

First Grade

In first grade we explore many new skills. Our students are learning to read and apply their learning. Our First Graders have become inquisitive as they communicate and are introduced to concepts. They are beginning a new pathway to learn fun and exciting materials that will broaden their learning. Our students are excited and exhibit true joy for learning.

Second Grade

Our Second Grade students not only focus on new skills, but strive to ensure that prior skills are mastered and goals are met. The goal for our Second Graders is for them to make leaps and bounds in reading, writing and math. We also provide opportunities for students to participate in STEAM activities that increase their critical thinking skills.

We are excited that our students continue to excel!

Third Grade

Third grade is an exciting year at Old Center! After years of learning to read, students are finally reading to learn. Reading comes alive as students learn from various topics and discussions introduced in their grade level. They engage in research activities and STEAM projects to open their minds to new learning. They share and collaborate with classmates as they engage in learning each day. We are so proud of the growth that is made in Third Grade as students continue to excel.

Fourth & Fifth Grades

Fourth and Fifth Grades at Old Center Elementary are exciting and quite challenging! Our students are beginning preparation for the middle school years in which we set high expectations. Students continue to build solid comprehension skills in reading, as well as across the curriculum in all subject areas to have a deeper understanding of what is read and how to apply their learning. We focus on preparing our students to graduate from our school community as independent learners and creative thinkers.
