Students in grade 2-1 are welcomed into second grade with a risk-free, child-centered, self-esteem building, Christ-like environment.
     Daily activities incorporate the New York State Common Core Curriculum, and the four components of literacy which include a fostering of reading, writing, listening and speaking. Using these four components, students engage in language, mathematics, science, social studies, and religion lessons.
     Students in second grade are not only preparing for their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion, but they are learning about forgiveness and about receiving the most precious gift we can ever receive; the gift of Our Savior, Jesus. These are important life lessons I am privileged to teach my students.
