Grade 1

Great Minds’ Module 1, “A World of Books,” from their Wit & Wisdom English Language Arts curriculum, is an introduction to the power of reading and its impact on personal growth and learning. Students explore how books can shape their experiences and help them understand the world around them. The module also focuses on the senses and how they contribute to both experiencing and understanding the world, as well as the elements and craft of storytelling, particularly through classic texts set on farms. Additionally, students engage in writing and illustration, creating a narrative about a character whose life has been transformed by reading.
