Tuesday, February 14th, 2023: Utica Academy of Science 4th graders had the opportunity to get out of the classroom and break the everyday routine by taking a field trip to the movies! Atoms saw "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.” Not only was the trip a fun experience, but it also helped scholars develop social skills by learning how to interact with peers and engage in group activities. These skills are important for building strong relationships and working collaboratively in the future.

Tuesday, February 14th, 2023: Utica Academy of Science first graders had a special treat on Valentine's Day. Atoms got out of the classroom and saw the movie Lightyear at the Little Falls theater. Scholars snacked on popcorn and juice while they watched the film. They had a wonderful time looking for light sources in the movie related to their science lesson, Light and Sound!

Thursday, February 16th, 2023: Utica Academy of Science 4th & 5th graders gave their first band performance! At the beginning of the year, students chose an instrument, and they have been working hard for the last five months receiving small group lessons and attending rehearsals after school. Learning how to not only play an instrument but also teaches responsibility, self-confidence, and cooperation. Atoms showcased their musical journey by playing full-group songs and each section separately. Family and friends were invited to attend the performance and enjoy a special breakfast with their musical scholars afterward. 

This is the first Utica Academy of Science Band in history. It consists of about 70 students playing flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, and percussion. We are very thankful for the supportive school and home environments allowing our students to gain confidence and independence through music instruction. Congratulations on a fantastic performance!
