Wyckoff Summer Academies - In the Painting class, students learn the basics of painting including shadowing, highlighting, and blending as they follow along with the teacher's live demonstration. In the 3rd and 4th grade Building Masters class, students create Lego, K’NEX, Keva blocks, and other material builds and challenges together. In the 5th-7th Coding class, students created video games and had others play their games to get feedback to improve their projects. Photo credits: Kelly Vincent, Kim Simon, and Jason Opremcak

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!
