HOME

Mrs. Gould teaches 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at St. Agnes Academy.  She is the 6th grade homeroom and religion teacher.  The Silver Burdette text used by this classroom is supplemented with Pflaum "Venture" magazine, which places an emphasis on preparation for weekly Gospel readings.  Sixth grade students at St. Agnes Academy receive their own Catholic Youth Bible from Holy Rosary Catholic Church.  Study of the Bible, especially the Old Testament is another important component of 6th Grade Religion program. Service projects are undertaken throughout the year, as well.  For example, bake sales are held to raise funds for Catholic Relief Services.  Language Arts for 6th, 7th and 8th grades at St. Agnes Academy are also under the facilitation of Mrs. Gould.   Programs used in Language Arts include: Daily Grammar Practice, a Cumulative Word Study Program (Greek and Latin), the Writing Process with emphasis on the connection to the Write Traits, and Step-up to Writing.  Whole Class Books, Literature Circles and the Accelerated Reading Program enhance Literacy instruction in this program.  The Write Source 2000 and The Reader's Handbook are "texts" used.  All students in Literature are required to read 150 minutes per week (20ish minutes a day).  To help with the record keeping this entails, a weekly reading log is due each week on Tuesday. Tuesday is also the day that each class visits the school library.  All classes visit the computer lab every Friday for keyboarding  and word processing.   Reading and writing workshops are held the last quarter of the school year to culminate the skills studied through out the school year.  Mrs. Gould has a BS in education from CSC and is currently participating in the Rural Writing Project through UNL.
