What's happening in 1st Grade REACH?

     Thinking skills are an essential foundation for students in the REACH    program.  Primary Education Thinking Skills (PETS) is a curriculum designed to promote higher level thinking skills.  PETS will be used throughout the year to help 1st grade  REACH students form a strong foundation in critical thinking. Postcards from Dr. Seuss is a  unit based on Bloom's and Williams Taxonomy that will also be taught in 1st grade. It also encourages critical thinking along with creativity.

Books, to the reading child, are so much more than books -- they
are dreams and knowledge, they are a future, and a past.(1940)
