Tuesday, December 13th, 2022: What word is always spelled wrong?
“Wrong.”
Get it?! Well, one atom didn’t spell any words wrong at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school’s spelling bee! Fourth graders showed off their spelling skills in our evening event. Family and friends were invited to watch our star spellers face off. After many challenging rounds, the fourth Grade Spelling Bee Champion was crowned.
Great job to all of our spellers that participated! Everyone is a star!
Tuesday, December 13th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school's second-grade representatives had breakfast with SANY Superintendent Dr. Hayali. Scholars enjoyed fluffy waffles and discussed why they were chosen to represent their class. It was such an honor for these atoms to enjoy a special breakfast with our Superintendent!
Tuesday, December 13th, 2022: A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3. SAS Elementary third-grade Atoms participated in a Spelling Bee! Scholars practiced hard for weeks to narrow the grade down to 22 spellers. After four rounds, we were down to one winner! Words like "bottom" and "sole" provided spelling challenges for our third-graders, but they never gave up!
Congratulations to the winners, the participants, and the third-grade for working so hard on their spelling!

Wednesday, December 14th, 2022: It's beginning to look a lot like snow! Syracuse Academy of Science Kindergarteners must have predicted this snowstorm because they have been working in class to create a background for a penguin! It's also the perfect activity to practice letters and lines. These atoms are learning that drawing snowflakes can be simple! An X and a plus sign combine to make a snowflake. Add the letter V on the end to dress it up!
Thursday, December 8th, 2022: In Mrs. Georgiadis's second-grade intervention groups, students have been working on reading accurately and fluently. Atoms worked hard to practice a play called "Duck Gets Lost." They met their goal through hard work and repeated practice. They even made masks and performed the play! Great job, atoms! The world is your stage!
Monday, December 12th, 2022: Reggie Kelley from Rise Above Poverty came to Syracuse Academy of Science middle school and graciously donated toiletries such as deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, and socks. Rise Above Poverty is a donation-based non-profit organization that helps provide students in Syracuse with necessities.
Thank you for your generous donations to our Atoms and to all the families you have and will continue to help.
Saturday, December 3rd, 2022: One of our second-grade Atoms was featured in "The BIG SHOW!" at Syracuse University. The BIG SHOW! is the overall display of art-filled education completed during the Saturday Art Workshops for Young People at SU. During this year's session, students visited the SU art museum twice, learned new techniques, and had their artwork displayed at the end of the program.
This Atom's classroom teachers and art teacher came out to support her and see her spectacular work! Way to go!
Friday, December 2nd, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school teacher Ms. Cahalan hosts a girls' group that meets on Fridays at the end of the day. The girls talk about skills they can use to resolve social conflict healthily while having fun building with legos. The meetings are a positive experience for our Atoms and Ms. Cahalan!
Tuesday, December 6th, 2022: It was College and Career Week at Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school. Mrs. Bloss's 2B class had a parent speak to them about being a Maternity Registrar at Crouse Hospital. Ms. Shannon told second-grade Atoms about writing birth certificates and other legal documents, about babies being born in hospitals, and about the different jobs one can hold in a hospital. She also read a book to the class. Thanks so much for joining us for College and Career Week, Ms. Shannon!
Friday, November 18th, 2022: “There was an Old Lady who swallowed a Turkey! I don't know why she swallowed a turkey, but she's always been quirky!”
On November 18th, SAS elementary school's 3-A class enjoyed a read-aloud by the Dean of Elementary, Mrs. Miller. Mrs. Miller delighted the third graders with the story "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Turkey." Syracuse Academy of Science elementary school Atoms always love having Mrs. Miller join their class to read to them!
