Kindergarten
First Grade
Second Grade
Kindergarten at The Noir Swan Collective is truly spectacular! Our K4/K5 class offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience. Students will master letter recognition, phonics, reading CVC words, and building connections to real life. They develop listening skills, learn about punctuation, practice handwriting, and enhance their storytelling abilities. In math, they'll count, compare, add, subtract, recognize coins, tell time, and grasp the basics of place value. Our kindergartners become confident and innovative learners, taking ownership of their education.
Our first graders excel as problem solvers, honing their critical thinking skills while gaining confidence and independence. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening are seamlessly integrated across subjects. They master various language concepts and strengthen their writing skills. In science, math skills are extended through hands-on observation, measurement, experimentation, and data analysis. Science includes: physical, health, life, and earth sciences. Social Studies encompasses: civics, economics, geography, and history, all engaging the students' senses through immersive instruction, hands-on activities, and projects.
Second Grade builds upon students' skills through the application of previous knowledge, fostering both skill enhancement and practical application. Core subjects are interlinked to encourage students to recognize connections to real-world issues and situations. Our second graders effectively organize their writing with a clear beginning, middle, and end. They use their words for informative, persuasive, and entertaining writing. They can extract information to answer questions, explain essential story elements like the main idea, characters, and plot. These students predict story developments based on personal experiences and retell stories in the correct sequence. In math, they handle multi-digit addition and subtraction, rounding, measurement, time-telling, fractions, and various forms of number representation. They excel in graphing and exhibit a strong understanding of shapes and angles. These scholars are reflective, creative, and innovative!
Third Grade
Building on foundational skills, third graders deepen their understanding across all subject areas through critical thinking, collaboration, and real-world applications. In language arts, students write with greater detail and organization, crafting informative, persuasive, and narrative texts with strong voice and purpose. They summarize stories, analyze character traits, explore themes, and use context clues to understand new vocabulary. They also read a variety of genres and make thoughtful inferences and predictions, supporting their ideas with evidence from the text. In math, students expand their number sense through multiplication, division, and fraction work. They explore problem-solving strategies, data interpretation, measurement, and geometry in hands-on, engaging ways. Lessons are tailored to meet students where they are, encouraging both challenge and support. Science and social studies come alive as students investigate natural phenomena, explore communities past and present, and engage in hands-on experiments and research projects. They make connections between their studies and everyday life, developing curiosity, responsibility, and global awareness. Our third grade learners are thinkers, problem-solvers, and communicators—ready to take on challenges with confidence and creativity!
