6th Grade Foundations

WELCOME TO FOUNDATIONS

FOUNDATIONS IS THE 6TH GRADE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM AT ST. FRANCES CABRINI, WHICH INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO A “BIG PICTURE” APPROACH TO BIBLE HISTORY.  USING THE  PROGRAM ENCOUNTER: EXPERIENCING GOD IN THE EVERYDAY*, STUDENTS WILL JOURNEY THROUGH BOTH THE OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT, IN A NARRATIVE OR “STORY-TYPE” FORMAT.  THIS NARRATIVE STYLE WILL ALLOW FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF SACRED SCRIPTURE AND ITS RELEVANCE TO A 6TH GRADERS LIFE. THROUGH LIVELY DISCUSSIONS/PRESENTATIONS,  PRAYERFUL REFLECTION AND RELEVANT SUPPLEMENTAL  MATERIALS, STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORM CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THEIR CURRENT KNOWLEDGE OF CATHOLIC TRADITION AND GOD’S PLAN FOR ALL HIS PEOPLE, AS REVEALED THROUGHOUT SCRIPTURE.

FOUNDATIONS OFFERS A SCHEDULE AND FORMAT SIMILAR TO EDGE, IN ORDER TO ASSIST 6TH GRADE STUDENTS IN THEIR TRANSITION, THE FOLLOWING YEAR, TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM AT ST. FRANCES CABRINI.  STUDENTS WILL EXPERIENCE LARGE GROUP PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION FOLLOWED BY SMALL GROUP REFLECTION, THOUGH STILL MAINTAINING A CLASSROOM-STYLE ENVIRONMENT.  FOUNDATIONS IS HELD ON WEDNESDAY EVENINGS FROM 6:30PM-8PM (CHECK-IN BEGINS AT 6:15PM) AND FOLLOWS THE   RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CALENDAR FOR 1ST-5TH GRADES.

BLAKE AND KRISTEN CONRAD

Blake and Kristen have been parishioners at St. Frances Cabrini for 15 years and have three children, ages 12, 15 and 18.  They have been catechists for a combined 30+ years and have taught almost every elementary grade (except 1st grade).  6th grade is their favorite age to teach as the students have such great insight to offer each other and are enthusiastic about relating their spiritual life to their everyday activities!  Blake, a Colorado native, began teaching CCD to middle school students as a junior in high school, and enjoys volunteering as a youth baseball, basketball and football coach.  Kristen, a recent Denver Catholic Biblical School graduate, is currently on staff at St. Frances Cabrini, in the Office of Community Life & Outreach.
