A World of Adventure Awaits
Our goal is to provide an educational environment with a focus on our Catholic Faith. We strive to ensure a safe, fun , and enriching classroom in which your child will learn and grow. Our emphasis on Reading readiness, basic Math skills, and Writing will give your child a strong foundation for future learning.
We will work together to make this a happy, fulfilling Kindergarten experience for your child!
About Mrs. Finley
I love Catholic School! It has been part of my life for as long as I can remember; first as a student then as a teacher. This is my seventh year at St. Albert the Great. I enjoy learning as much from my students as they do from me!
My husband and I have been married for over thirty five years! We have three grown children and four wonderful grandchildren. When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy gardening and watching sports. Lets go Phillies!

Please support our school at our annual Gator Walk on Friday, April 26. Donations can be made online or at school.
Jesus is risen, Alleluia! Just as He walked among His friends to bring peace and comfort, Jesus walks with us too. The children are learning that God is with us at all times. We can have courage, and feel confident knowing that God loves and cares for us!
Our Word Wall is growing! Each week students learn to read four new words. They put the words together in meaningful ways to practice making sentences. And speaking of sentences, Kindergartners are writing lots of them!
Animal reports are on the agenda for May! Each child will choose an animal to research. Once facts and pictures are gathered, the students will organize the information into a written report as well as a verbal presentation. And just to make those reports really come to life, we will vist the Elmwood Park Zoo at the end of May!
Geometry is cool! Shapes are all around us and Kindergartners are learning to identify and describe them while at the same time using mathematical reasoning to create and extend patterns with them.
We're all aflutter about butterflies! Over the next few weeks, we will be observing the life cycle of a butterfly up close and personal as we watch our caterpillars go through the stages to adulthood. We expect to release these amazing creatures back to nature sometime at the end of May.These are just a few of the many things going on in K-2! Check back soon to see how we are growing in knowledge and character.
