The Sidney Central District welcomed Mrs. Townsend and Mrs. Stewart from Broome-Tioga BOCES on Friday morning to model the “Read Like Us” strategy.
Read Like Us is a research-based approach designed to strengthen students’ reading fluency—helping them read accurately, smoothly, and with expression. Teachers from grades 4–8 joined the lesson to observe and learn with the students.
During the session, students and Mrs. Townsend explored the poem “Black and White and Yellow and Red” through whole-group, partner, and independent reading. Students also practiced summarizing their thinking by creating a 10-word “gist,” building both comprehension and confidence.
Sidney CSD is incredibly proud of our seventh-grade students for demonstrating respect, integrity, and determination through the lesson. Their engagement and participation truly reflected #SidneyPRIDE.
Also, a special thank you goes to Mrs. Townsend and Mrs. Stewart for sharing their time, expertise, and passion for literacy with our school community.

Students in Catherine Hull’s Law and Government class spent the semester learning about law, as well as both criminal and civil court cases, and the trial process in the courtroom.
The annual mock trial was held Monday, with two sides arguing a murder case in front of Sidney CSD teacher Wayne Allen, who served as judge. In the end, a jury of students found the defense as the winner, finding the defendant not guilty.

At the beginning of December, Stephanie Straub’s high school painting class visted each of the three UPK classrooms to work with the students on holiday crafts.
During the crafting sessions, the high school students were tasked with engaging in conversation with the UPK students to get to know them better, and ultimately to leave with a list of 2-3 favorite things for each UPK student.
High school students then took their lists back to class and created a painting for each of the UPK students based on those lists – and what they shared during the visits. The painting class, which consists of 12 students in grades 10-12, ended up creating 40 paintings (one for each UPK student).
Before break, the painting class returned to the UPK classrooms to deliver their paintings as a small gift before Christmas. UPK students enjoyed the paintings and made cards fr the high schoolers to thank them for the artwork.
What a great job!
