Grades K-1 will be using the Pflaum Weeklies series, Promises.   Children will also be using the children's Bible to prepare them for the new curriculum when they enter 2nd grade. 






For Grades 2-5, new this year is Discover! from Saint Mary's Press where children will focus on the Four Pillars of the Catholic Faith: creed, Christian morality, prayer, and liturgy and sacraments. Through interactive learning,  Discover!  uses the Bible as the core text for the curriculum. 

 

We are incorporating the books How Full is Your Bucket? and  Have You Filled a Bucket Today? into Sunday lessons to encourage compassion and kindness and connect students' faith to their daily lives; you can click the book titles above to view on YouTube. 

Children have made "buckets" which serve several purposes:

1. Acts as a name card for the class; each child has made a "bucket" that they place in front of them with their name so everyone can get to know one another.
2. Promotes positive reinforcement because you fill your bucket or someone's bucket by being kind or when someone is kind to you.
3. Teaches the liturgical colors and seasons. The handle will be changed as the liturgical season changes. Currently we are in Ordinary Time, and the liturgical color is green.
