It’s time to shine the spotlight on another outstanding Atom! Allow us to introduce you to Ms. Taylor, administrative assistant at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary school! Ms. Taylor has worked for Syracuse Academy since 2017. She is a mom, loves fishing, the color green, and hates driving long distances! Ms. Taylor went to Tompkins Cortland Community College and is most inspired by her mom! Ms. Taylor is also a great team player! 

We cannot express enough how lucky we are as a school to have Ms. Taylor on our team. We are many atoms, one family.

Wednesday, September 28th, 2022: Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School's 2B Class was supposed to walk to the Library for a field trip. When the rain forced their teachers to cancel, they made the best of it by inviting parents to read to the class! 2B atoms explored the book "The Word Collector" by Peter H. Reynolds. In "The Word Collector," the main character Jerone, uses expressive vocabulary and shares it with the world around him. The children in 2B investigated words and connected them to synonyms to expand their vocabulary, followed by an investigation of keywords from the book. Parent volunteers engaged and supported the expansion of learning with their SANY scholars.

Friday, September 23rd, 2022: It's time to shine the spotlight on one of our amazing teachers! Ms. Peryea is entering her 8th year at Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School. She was hired in January 2015 as a co-teacher and worked her way up to a second-grade classroom teacher and an academic coach for our elementary building. She grew up near Syracuse and moved back after college to begin her teaching career. She enjoys reading, watching movies, and relaxing at home with loved ones. 

Ms. Peryea received her bachelor's degree from The College at Brockport SUNY in history with a childhood education focus and received her master's degree in literacy from Le Moyne College. Ms. Peryea feels most inspired when surrounded by other people in her profession. She loves to gather inspiration by surrounding herself with people who are smarter than she is and have lots to add to the conversation. 

Ms. Peryea teaches class 2A. 2A and Syracuse Academy of Science Elementary School are so lucky to have her!
