In Standard 1st (First Grade), children, typically aged 6-7, begin formal schooling with a focus on foundational skills across subjects. In Language Arts, they start reading simple books, learning phonics, and recognizing sight words. They practice writing short sentences, spelling, and basic grammar while developing listening and speaking skills. In Mathematics, students focus on basic addition and subtraction, number patterns, place value, and learn about shapes, measurement, time, and money. Science includes lessons on life science (plants, animals, the human body), physical science (states of matter, forces), and Earth science (weather, seasons, environment).
