Our Lower Elementary Grades (1-4) at St. Ambrose are busy and challenging. Each class has a consistent schedule, which not only focuses on ELA and math, but also gives the students instruction in Religion, Science, Social Studies, and special content areas (Art, PE, Spanish, and Music).
Our students are supported by each of their teachers through differentiated instruction in all curriculum areas. A typical day includes:
small group/individual instruction
students read books based on their interests and assessed reading level
peer collaboration to support students academically, as well as socially
use of technology
each classroom is equipped with an interactive board, and has access to ipads/tablets
spiritual guidance
each day begins with prayer as a school community
Faith-based instruction is incorporated across all content areas throughout the day
