A brief, broad overview of the religion content for the year including  the holy Mass, lives and contributions of some important  saints and their feast days,  Our Lady of Guadalupe, world religions and religious  customs, the Bible, what is Faith, the rosary, church seasons and calendar, basic prayers, and  the student's second grade sacraments  -- Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist

1. Students discuss the Golden Rule

2. Students become familiar with our conflict resolution program:  The Toolbox and learn the first few tools.

3. Students practice the qualities of all Good Listeners - The High Five : 

• Eyes on the Speaker, 

• Body Pointed Towards the Speaker

• Ears are Listening

• Hands are Still 

• Mouths are silent

 Second Graders are taking an important step in their faith journey during this important year of liturgical study. They begin to understand that actions have consequences and start to form a conscience, thus the sacrament of Reconciliation becomes so meaningful. With true love, faith and excitement they approach their First Holy Communion, and celebrate God’s presence in their lives.
