📖 Standards Connections
This resource includes selected Texas Grade 1 TEKS connections in mathematics and English language arts.
Although designed for students beginning second grade, the academic activities intentionally review first-grade skills.
The resource supports review and teacher observation but is not a comprehensive assessment or a replacement for direct instruction.

At Live Oak Learning, we believe that every new school year is an opportunity to grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence.
Help your students begin second grade with familiar skills, encouraging activities, and a welcoming woodland learning experience!
