Big Black Bubble?

Submitted by sherri.peterson on
Miss Mellor's Kindergarten students had a fabulous time inside a giant black bubble this week.  We took off our shoes, crawled inside the big bubble and read Halloween stories with a flashlight.  Our favorite story was a book about Jack-o-lantern faces where the pictures of the book glow in the dark.  What a fun time we had!!!

Principal's Week at Spanish Oaks Fun for All!

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

"Everyday's A Holiday with Kali" was our theme for the week, as we celebrated our amazing principal.  During the week we celebrated:  Valentines, Christmas, Halloween, Cinco de Mayo, Fourth of July and New Years.  Each grade level took a holiday and did something for Mrs. Brown that corresponded with that holiday.  She broke a pinata, rode in a parade as the grand marshall, was "heart-attacked", sang to, and all around loved.  We were also very well fed with treats from each holiday.
