The SFdS kindergarten program promotes academic excellence in an engaging environment where students can discover their world with opportunities for hands-on exploration.
In 1st Grade, SFdS students are introduced to new genres of literature and increase their reading independence using The Daily 5 Literacy Framework. Students continue learning math concepts and number sense which are reinforced through hands-on manipulatives and creative games.
SFdS students prepare for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in Second grade. In addition, they are growing in their sense of independence and experimenting with wordplay and poetry as well as multi-step problem-solving in math. Second graders are also excited about learning cursive writing!
Third grade is a year full of transition and growth. Students go from learning to read to reading to learn. Throughout the year, they not only gain new information, but they learn helpful tips on organizing themselves, accessing information, patience, problem-solving, and teamwork.
