Friday, October 14th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science is paving the road to success for our Atoms; choosing which college to go to can be a very grueling and challenging process. So, we are bringing representatives from Colleges and universities into our schools to talk to students.
Le Moyne College and Boston University met with students on October 14th. We had excellent conversations about the specifics of each school and navigating college admissions. We hope this helped ease some of the anxiety for our students. Be on the lookout for more visits from colleges soon!
Friday, October 14th, 2022: Let's get rid of these Monday afternoon blues by remembering a fun Friday morning! Syracuse Academy of Science 4th graders took a walk on a sunny, cool morning to Webster's Duck Pond.
Atoms were able to feed ducks and take in the beautiful scenery. Students learned about the geography that makes up the pond and its importance for the ecosystems surrounding the duck pond. Students also observed different species of ducks and learned how these birds would not migrate due to the pond not entirely freezing over, which allows the birds to stay.
These lucky ducks had a blast enjoying some exercise and seeing nature outside the classroom!
Sunday, October 16th, 2022: 30 Students in Mr. Yaman's Turkish Class visited the Turkish Festival in Washington DC.

They also visited some of the National landmarks such as; the Lincoln Monument, Washington Monument, World War II monument, and US Capitol.
Wednesday, October 12th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science Third graders weren’t monkeying around on their first field trip of the school year. They took their knowledge from the classroom on animal classification to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. Students became taxonomists for the day and classified various animals including amphibians, mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. Students were thrilled to get outside and use their learning in an engaging, hands-on way!
