~We will begin the year by learning our classroom and school prayers:
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
HAIL MARY
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
PRAYER BEFORE MEALS
Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
ACT OF CONTRITION
Oh my God, I am sorry for my sins.
In choosing to sin and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you and your church.
I firmly intend, with the help of your Son,
to make up for my sins and to love as I should.
Amen.
Philosophy and Curriculum
Our philosophy is that through our teaching, we ensure that each child is loved, nurtured and safe while growing in all areas of development. Not only will the children learn academic skills but also a strong, age-appropriate understanding of our Catholic faith. We are strong believers in implementing an emergent style of lesson plans early in the school year while we get to know each child’s area of interest and understanding. Throughout the school year there will be guided lessons that are individualized to meet each child's specific needs.
Our curriculum is one that follows the West Virginia Early Learning Standards through the use of the state chosen, Creative Curriculum. Ongoing assessments and observations of the children are conducted during the school year. We believe that having open communication between teacher and families is needed to achieve a successful year for your child! Parent/Teacher conferences will be held during the school year, in addition to these, we, Pre-K 4 Teachers, will make ourselves available to meet with you if you have further questions or concerns. We look forward to a wonderful, fun and exciting school year!
God Bless!
