  • Religion

    The 5th grade Religion curriculum centers on the study of the 7 Sacraments—Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony and Holy Orders. We also investigate saints in the Catholic Church, connections to Scripture, and reasons and methods in choosing kindness.

  • Science

    The Fifth grade science curriculum enables students to be actively engaged in a hands-on approach to Science through STEP, the Science Through Experiments Program.   The topics introduced include Friction, Levers, Volume and Density, Electrical Circuits and Voltage and Qualitative Analysis.   Each experiment follows the scientific method and students create their own STEP book by recording data for each of the topics and experiments as they explore each topic.  This program supports student competence and confidence when participating in the biennial Science Fair sponsored by the Diocese of Worcester Catholic Schools Office.
