Thank you Mr. DePersis, Ms. Reitano, and the Sicomac PTO for an amazing field day today!
Mrs. Calamito, first grade teacher at Sicomac School, decided to have a shirt made to commemorate Autism Awareness Month in April and to spread kindness and acceptance. She shared her idea with two colleagues, who had identical shirts made. Other teachers heard about the idea, and soon the whole staff had joined in the fun. A WSD parent said, "Mrs. Calamito has always made an effort to make [students] feel included and to assist [them] socially [in] making friends. She added that the t-shirt "was such a beautiful gesture."
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Join us this Tuesday, May 9th, at 7:30PM at Eisenhower Middle School for a parent seminar, “Understanding Adolescents” by Jack Berckemeyer.

After reading the book, It Looked Like Spilt Milk 2nd Graders designed image using a Google Drawing. They practiced using shapes, resizing, and shortcuts. Then they used recycled white caps to build their creations. #sicomactech #sicomacspirit #STEAM @wyckoffschools @caputoteach
Given an area and perimeter, third graders created lots of different figures with square tiles. #persuingexcellence #personalizinglearning #sicomac #wyckoff #area #perimeter #mathisfun
