Meet the Teacher:

My name is Ms. Stefanie Datino. This is my 5th year here at Our Lady of Victory School.  I teach fifth through eighth-grade Social Studies, Home Economics, and Life Skills program. I have a bachelor’s degree in sociology and I received a master’s degree in Students with Disabilities 1-6 and Childhood Education. I have been teaching for 11 years.

Welcome to 5th grade!

Our English Language Arts curriculum comes from Pearson. Pearson resources are wonderful as they include a student interactive workbook as well as an online component.

Our Social Studies curriculum comes from the Discovery Education website. The curriculum incorporates social studies and English language arts. This website is filled with lesson plans, assessments, videos, articles, project ideas, and handouts. The website also breaks down each lesson and matches it with the appropriate NYS learning standard. 

During Home Economic and Life Skills courses, our students will establish skills and strategies for lifelong well-being and promotes caring for the well-being of others. Some of the topics include personal and interpersonal skills, health promotion, human growth and development, and safety.
