Summer Reading:
School might be over, but it is still time to READ! So pick up a book and go on an adventure! READ this summer.
Why is summer reading important? According to the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report™: 6th Edition , both kids (80%) and parents (96%) agree that summer reading will help the child during the school year.
Let us all take the Summer Reading Pledge!
I pledge to read for at least 20 minutes each day
for at least 40 days during the months of July and August.
 Happy Summer Reading!

Free Summer Meals at Lyncourt School:
Children in our community do not need to go hungry this summer. For many kids, summertime means food, friends, and fun. For families who count on school
breakfast and lunch, however, the summer months can be stressful and family food budgets have to be stretched even further. The US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Summer Food Service Program helps fill the hunger gap.
Free summer meals, funded by the USDA, are available to kids and teens ages 18 and younger at Lyncourt School in Syracuse, NY. This is an open site therefore free meals are available to all children ages 18 and under. This site does not require families to provide income information, registration, or other paperwork.

Living Wax Museum:
You didn't have to make a trip to Oxford, England to learn more about Dorothy Hodgkin! You just had to visit the Living Wax Museum at Lyncourt School. Our students participated in a fantastic living wax museum. They each researched a famous person, created a Biography poster, "became the person" in costume, and gave a short monologue. They even hosted a Museum Tour Presentation for their classmates. They did an awesome job. Videos of each presentation can be found in the below link.

Coding Club:
Students are learning to code in the library! What is coding? It is a system of instructions that allow a computer program to run something. Students are using the Tickle program to code Sphero SPRK balls. The codes from the Tickle app tell the SPRK balls to do whatever the students program it to do. The first challenge students completed was the Sphero Bowling Challenge. Students had to program the SPRK balls to knock "bowling pins" (ie: red SOLO cups) by using different codes. Students will complete many different coding challenges throughout the year.
Being able to code is an important skill, as c ode powers our digital world. Every website, app, computer program, calculator and even microwave relies on code in order to operate. This makes coders ...

Impressionist Fall Tree:
The first graders embarked on a series of exercises that included texture rubbings, tempera painting of a foreground and background, and a discussion on the French Impressionists.
They looked at George Seurat and pointillism. Pointillism is a style of painting in which small dots of color create the impression of a wide selection of other colors and blending.
All these experiences were combined into final pieces of artwork.

Let's Paint a Rainbow:
The Kindergarten class had an exercise in color recognition today. Students were told to select a marker in the proper sequence by color. We tried to make concentric half-circles or semi-circles. Students followed the teacher-led example on the Promethean board. We colored in the spaces made by our semi-circles. When done we embellished our drawings with a creative setting that might include a pot of gold. Submitted by Mr. Retz, Art Teacher.
