Our third graders recently did a sorting activity where they had to decide whether to recycle, compost, trash, donate, or reuse the item. They loved it!
Students worked on segmenting compound words using snowmen with Ms. Puls on Tuesday, who wasn't thinking there would actually be snow that day in April when she planned the activity!
Put it on your calendars.
Deadline is April 22!
We hope you're heading into this week just like this South Seneca second grader...
Here are more pictures from Kindergarten's royal tea party today! The Kindergarten learned about Kings and Queens as one of their Listening/Learning modules and ended the unit with a tea party celebration. The kids look great!

A little bit of Hollywood in Ovid.
After 17 years, Phil Marrella is retiring. Today was his last day with the South Seneca School District. He served as the Elementary School's Physical Education teacher, and until very recently, was the Dean of Students.
To show immense appreciation, his Physical Education teaching partner, Asa McMahon, collected donations from the teaching staff and presented a retirement gift to Phil this morning.
He received:
- Buffalo Bills travel bag
- A Josh Allen jersey
- A Syracuse Mets tickets good for any game and any seat
- A book about the 50 states
- A travel package
- Some goodies and a card with heartfelt messages signed from his colleagues.
What a haul — and well deserved! Best of luck in retirement Phil!
One last South Seneca winner from the Great Lakes Data Jam was announced earlier this week:
5th grader Emily Williamson was an honorable mention.
She took home a cool $100 thanks to her "DDT Song" about how DDT, a widely used pesticide, impacted bald eagles and osprey.
"One thing that I enjoyed was being able to combine two of my favorite things together, singing and science," said Williamson.
