Arts and Tech Activities for an Advanced First Grader
For an advanced first grader moving to second grade, mix arts based exploration with core skills. Enroll in a music class like piano, or try dance or theater to build creativity and social connections. Incorporate reading and math naturally, avoid heavy worksheets, and begin typing to prepare for Common Core testing in third grade. Ensure varied, fun activities and ample unstructured exploration.
