CURRICULUM
In 3rd -5th grade, all learning is based on the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's academic guides, as well as national, state and local standards. Students are assessed on each specific standard throughout the year.
While we value our academics, our goal is to also foster the spiritual, emotional and physical growth of our students. It is in 3rd - 5th grade that we want our students to begin to develop a strong sense of independence and confidence. Additionally, we encourage our students' curiousity about the wider world, and encourage the use of technology to in obtaining information and communicating with others.
See the curriculum guides below for detailed information on our grade-level standards.
SPECIALS
Each week, students attend Art, Music, PE (Physical Education), Library, ACES (led by the school counselor), and Spanish.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
We are committed to providing each student a differeniated learning experience at our school. A learning support teacher designated to the intermediate grades allows us to do this.
In math, each unit is taught in differeniated groups . This means there are new grouping opportunities every few weeks, which allows our students to thrive as teachers encourage each student to reach his/her full potential in that unit.
In literacy, teachers structure their lessons in a way that allows for individualized attention, while increasing each student's independence.
