Pay It Forward - Connor's Toy Drive

Submitted by kali.brown on

"... Want to provide a little fun and love to children stuck in the hospital during the holidays?  Little Connor Quigg, [a student at Spanish Oaks Elementary], can help you do that.

Connor recently realized that while he got to go home after doctor visits, other children spent the night in the hospital.  He decided he wanted to bring toys to them, because "the kids don't have anything to play with.  And if they get scared or bored, I got them something to play with."

Informational Writing on Pumpkins at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

Students in Mrs. Graham's class have been having SO much fun learning about pumpkins for our informational writing unit!  Today we explored the inside and outside of pumpkins first hand and recorded our observations in our pumpkin flip books.  Two lucky winners get to take the pumpkins home with them at the end of the day!  We're ready to do some informational writing!
