Math
This subject involves skills and concepts that are reinforced through the use of manipulatives. The following skills are included: Addition and Subtraction Strategies, Money, Time, Problem Solving, and Addition and Subtraction of two and three digit numbers. Lessons are taught in both large and small group settings, as well as paired and individual work.
Religion
Students are encouraged to share and ask questions during daily discussions. There are activity sheets as well as an assessment with each weekly chapter. We plan and attend K-2 Masses, All-School Masses, Prayer Services, and Monthly Prayer Buddy activities.
Children in grade two, and older, are invited to participate in preparation for First Eucharist. Because sacraments are prepared for, and celebrated, within the faith community, sacramental preparation is done as a parish activity. Classroom teachers support the parish program, but do not do the actual instruction. School and faith formation children, and their parents, participate in group preparation sessions and a retreat for families. The purpose of these sessions is to help participants attain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Eucharist in their lives. In addition, a preparation book is provided for families to complete at home. For more information, please check out the Parish Faith Formation page.
Social Studies
Our main units of study include the following: Community, The Earth, Our Past, Government, Jobs, and Needs and Wants.
Specialists
Second Graders attend Physical Education, Music, and Spanish twice a week, Science three times a week, and the Computer Lab and the Library once a week.
