Academics

Language Arts

Language arts, which includes the study of grammar, literature, reading, writing, speaking, and listening, is of prime importance at St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School. These disciplines are studied both independently and collaboratively and in the content areas of social studies, science, and math. The language arts curriculum also includes the study of effective communication using technology.

Fourth Grade Biography Studies

During the month of October, the monthly book report that the students do for Mrs. Cunningham is very special. The students each research a famous personality that has had an impact upon our world. They read a book about their person and create a "Bottle Buddy" replica of their subject. The students also do digital research in the Computer Lab, and then produce a Slides Presentation to support their oral presentation about their famous personality. On Halloween, the students came dressed up like the historical figure they study and share their information with their classmates. This English Language Arts / STREAM* project is a favorite in the school as everyone tries to figure out who is who! Can you figure out who these students represent as you look at these pictures?
