What does it matter? Well, it takes up a lot of space! That's what's the matter. Everything around us that has mass and takes up space, has matter. Mrs. Ayers' second graders are learning about matter. In a class demonstration, they learned that even small items like an eraser or a paper clip, have matter. The students made predictions about what would happen if they dropped a small item into a full glass of liquid... do you know the answer? Yes! the liquid may overflow the cup because the item has mass/matter, which takes up space. Great scientific predictions, Mrs. Ayers' class!

SUNY Geneseo Professor Aaron Steinhauer visited York CSD to speak with students about the total solar eclipse. He presented a lot of good information about the timing of the solar eclipse as well as information on how to safely view the eclipse.

Mrs. Shaffer's third grade class studied mosquitos - the pesky flying bug is common at summertime activities. Students were surprised to learn some interesting facts about mosquitoes that they didn't know. Did you know that only the female mosquito bites? Did you also know that mosquitoes are attracted to certain people over others? This explains why some people are constantly swatting away the mosquitoes while others standing right next to them are not bothered much at all! Or how about this fun fact - mosquitoes prefer to lay their eggs in water and they only require a small amount of water to do so. This explains why in areas where there is standing water, including small ponds and even bird baths, there is also an increase in mosquitoes. The students listened to the video lesson about mosquitoes and then discussed the information they learned about in small groups. Prior to the mosquito lesson, Mrs. Shaffer led the class in a movement exercise to help them work off their excess energy and prepare to listen and learn.

What's all the buzz in Mr. Bryan Earsing's Earth Science classroom? Bees wax lip balms created by the students! Mr. Earsing raises bees at his home. He brought in beeswax collected from his bee hives to be used by the students to make bees wax lip balms. The students melted the bees wax in a double boiler, added coconut oil and various fragrances to produce a variety of flavored lip balms. The students very much enjoyed learning about beekeeping and making lip balms. Thank you Mr. Earsing!

Knights Supporting Knights! York Elementary School teacher Lora Moliterni presented Teaching Assistant Robin Scaccia with her first Roberts Wesleyan University sweatshirt to congratulate her on her new and exciting endeavor. Mrs. Scaccia has been a TA since 2019 but this year decided to follow her dream of becoming a certified NYS teacher. "I was happy and content with being on the sidelines as a TA. It was fulfilling as I supported educators, encouraged a positive learning environment, and assisted students in their academic journey. But as time went on I wanted more. I needed to be challenged. So I have decided to follow my new dream and passion to become a teacher. It is a 15 month program which I will have completed in Dec 2025," Mrs. Scaccia commented. We couldn’t be more proud of Mrs. Scaccia for all of her hard work and dedication!
