St. Ambrose Academy

How much fun can first graders have learning about pollination with glitter and cotton balls? So much! Students also learned how to ensure bees can thrive and how important they are to gardening.

To all of our amazing, dedicated, caring teachers. We honor you! It's never to late to thank a teacher. 🤩🥳💐🏆🎈💖

Our next spotlight is Maggie Fitzgerald! Maggie teaches PreK 3 at St. Ambrose Academy in Irondequoit! This is her 2nd year at St. Ambrose but her 15th year in education!

Do you have a hidden talent or fun fact that would surprise your students?
My students may be surprised to know I love hiking with my family!

What accomplishment of your students are you most proud of?
From the moment my students come into the classroom, they are making me so proud! Sharing toys with peers, exploring new ideas, listening to stories, creating art, using their imaginations, and working to learn new skills can be hard work! As Mr. Rogers once said, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play IS serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

If you could pass along any wisdom to your students, what would you share?
In our class, we end each day by saying and signing the affirmation, “I am smart. I am kind. I am brave. I am loved.” I want my students to know how truly special they are just by being themselves.

Join us for an evening of math and movement as we present Mathletics! From 5:30-6:30pm on Wednesday, May 20, we'll roll out our math movement mats and enjoy fun math games together.
