Religion Currently we are using the "THIS IS
OUR FAITH" program from Silver Burdett for Gr. K-6. Religion classes are taught daily. In addition children and teachers celebrate
the liturgical year with special emphasis placed on Advent and Lent. One of the students favorite days is our retreat day
held during Holy Week. Students in Gr. 1-6 celebrate a liturgy each Wednesday morning. They take an active part in preparing
and celebrating the Eucharist.
Reading/Language
Arts Our goal at SS. Peter & Paul School is to have children actively engage in the reading &
writing process. We adopted the Houghton Mifflin Reading Program in the fall of 2003. This program includes all components
for a succesful Language Arts program including reading, writing, spelling, and grammer.
Math We adopted the new Macmillan-McGraw Hill Math series
for the 2006-07 school year. This program does an excellent job in introducing new concepts to the students. In addition,
it helps develop higher level thinking skills.
Social Studies The
Houghton Mifflin program was adopted in the spring of 2009. This program helps
students to understand the world around them. In addition, teachers have designed
projects to actively involve students in the Social Studies program (i.e. wax museum, dioramas, state report)
Science In 2004-05, we introduced the new Harcourt Brace Science series Our goal is to have students actively
involved in learning science concepts by giving students opportunities for work on individual projects as well as small group
and large group endeavors
Health Students in Gr. 1-6 take part
in the Growing Healthy Program where they learn health concepts through videotapes, group work, models, and teacher directed
instructions. Students thoroughly enjoy the opportunities to dissect cows eyes, lungs and the heart.
