St. Joseph School teachers welcome and encourage communication with families regarding all aspects of a student's development.

It is also amazing to hear them pray for others around the world and to show compassion for others who are suffering on a personal and global level. I had been looking for a full-time teaching position when my father told me about the ad at St. Joseph School. He graduated from St. Joseph School and was a life long member of St. Joseph Church. I applied the next day, was interviewed and offered the position. That December my Dad died, but his love and lessons about Jesus Christ continue to guide me on this journey. I appreciate and treasure my job as I know how important God's mission is to our world. I've had many experiences through my family and the children at St. Joseph Regional School which confirm in my mind and spirit that this is where God wants me to continue this mission.

We have welcomed in the new year with a lot of enthusiasm for learning. During religion lessons we will learn about the “season” of Lent, learn The Lord’s Prayer, and practice all the other prayers so we can participate in the recitation of the Rosary to honor Mary during the month of May.
Our reading and ELA lessons will include using decoding and blending skills to read and write words and sentences independently. We will also explore the rhyming box and apply rhyming word families. We are looking forward to attending the play Charlotte’s Web. We will continue to build math skills that include Read, Draw, Write addition and subtraction math problems. We will be exploring solids and be comparing objects of length and weight. Our science lessons will include units of study about weather and forces.
