At St. Symphorosa...
First-graders at St. Symphorosa are immersed in a rich curriculum that challenges students to work rigorously to meet learning goals. Our reading program, Adventures of the Superkids, is a fun-filled way to teach reading, writing, and phonics skills to students using interactive games and songs. We also have our annual Christmas play, in which the first-graders act out and retell the Nativity story. Go Math is our newly adopted curriculum which engages students using hands-on activities and games. It is also aligned with the Common Core Standards. As part of our religion curriculum, students go to Church each Friday to deepen their Catholic faith .
