Curriculum
A new book series for Greek Saturday School will be introduced this year. The Papaloizos books are easy to use and help the students improve in reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and communication. In addition to the Papaloizos books we will use the books that we get provided from Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.

Computer Lab
We use
software that has introductory
lessons in language, and fun
programs and games for the children
to play. Children can practice
and have fun with what they know
with colors, food, time, everyday
objects, sentences and other
basics. Next year, we will
introduce software that will
correspond with the books they are
currently using. The software,
called Asterias from Greece, is
currently being developed.
Words of Greek Origin
"…Our alphabet {English} came
from Greece. Our language is
full of Greek words. Our
science created an international
language through Greek terms.
Our Grammar and our oratory,
even the punctuation and the
division in paragraphs are Greek
discoveries.
W. Durant
Our goal would be to teach Greek as a second language. The main focus of the program will be to provide instructions to students in dialogue and conversations with the objective of increasing each student's confidence and ability in speaking the Greek language.
Everyone knows that the
English vocabulary contains
a great number of Greek
words. Many of those words
are recognizable, but many
more are not. Our former director Katina
Vaselopulos read a wonderful
book with the title:
ELLHN LOGOS -PWS H ELLHNIKH
GONIMOPOIHSE TON PAGKOSMIO
LOGO
(How the Greek language
fertilized the international
word)
The author is Anna
Tziropoulou
Eustathiou, Athens
2005,
Georgiathis

Akademias 84- tel:210-52.21.314
She
admits that not only did she
find the book fascinating,
but she also felt great
pride in her heritage and
culture. It is imperative
to know the enormous
contribution that Greece and
Orthodoxy has made to Europe
and to the whole world.
"I want to share the
wealth of this book with
anyone who would be
interested. In our GSL, the
children will learn about
this contribution of the
Greek Word, but I am also
hoping to pique the
curiosity of the adults,
whether parents or not, so
that everyone will be able
to appreciate our language
and be proud to be Greek."
Wanting to share what she is
learning, she has collected
quotations, vocabulary words
and history and have
included them in the PDF
document below. "Feel
free to surf and learn new
things. Feel free to share
this with your friends. But
most of all take your
children to this quest of
our roots and make them
proud to be Greek. Enjoy!"
