1st Grade Classroom Guide and Course Catalog

1st Grade students will receive instruction in Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. Science, History, Art, Physical Education, and electives such as Music and World Language will be based on the California Content Standards. Your coursework will consist of teacher assigned lessons using the K12 curriculum together with teacher-created instructional activities, and other learning activities as deemed appropriate for each student to achieve his/her academic potential. CAVA adheres to the minimum daily instructional time requirements recommended by the State of California. However, increased daily instructional time may be necessary to meet the individual needs of each student. All instructional time must be entered as attendance in the Online School management tools as well as be supported by work produced by the student and evaluated by the teacher.

Overview

This Classroom Guide includes an outline of the grade level learning objectives as well our classroom expectations, the behavior expected from all of CAVA students, and what you can expect from your CAVA teacher. Each school day, you will login to the online school, complete both online and offline lessons assigned by your teacher, attend assigned Class Connect sessions and submit requested work to your teacher. *Students with documented Individualized Education Plans (IEP) are given appropriate accommodations as specified in the IEP. Please feel free to contact me or contact the school’s Special Education department for more information. **Please refer to the 2019-2020 Parent-Student Handbook for your school to familiarize yourself with additional school-wide information, policies and procedures.

Live instruction is assigned to students in all grade levels and is provided by a credentialed CAVA teacher. This is in conjunction with the instructional support that is being provided by the student’s Learning Coach. Each student’s individual schedule may vary depending on grade, assessment scores, teacher assignment etc. Note: English Language Arts (ELA) is comprised of multiple components that can vary from grade level to grade level. In addition to a potential calendar time, circle time, or group reading time, the following are components of CAVA’s Language Arts program. 1st Grade: Literature and Comprehension, Phonics and Spelling, Vocabulary and Handwriting and Writing Skills.
