From PTA and SIC: 

 

In an effort to understand how you as parents feel about St. Andrew's Math and Science and the directions in which we are headed, the PTA and SIC have a survey with a few very brief questions for parents to answer.  The survey will literally take less than 2 or 3 minutes, but will greatly enhance the PTA and SIC's ability to move forward on initiatives based on the results of the survey.  Please click on SASMS Survey Monkey to go to the survey and answer the questions.  Thank you for your help with this.  


Mrs. Laughlin, Ms. McMahon and Mrs. Popowich's fourth grade classes had a traditional Lowcountry feast of local foods. They ate duck, rabbit, venison, alligator, rattlesnake, pheasant and quail, as well as fruits, vegetables and nuts. A grand time was had by all.

St. Andrews participated in a Clemson/Carolina Read-a-Thon.  For each book read, the students would add a ticket to the box for  their favorite team.  Carolina won by one point.

Tip of the Day

Fun Ways for Elementary School Students to Share Science Facts

Science facts are not always the easiest concepts to grasp, especially for elementary students. However, there are fun and creative ways to help students learn and remember facts about the world around them. Visual and audio aids, such as posters and presentations, and creating flashcards to share with one another are great learning aids . Students sharing with each other often makes the science material more accessible since they have a similar perspective.
