Teacher Appreciation Week

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

Last week was every teacher's favorite week of the year!   We sure get spoiled at Spanish Oaks during Teacher Appreciation Week.  Our PTA is way too good to us.  On Monday the PTA decorated our doors with words of affirmation from each of our students. The teachers even got drawn as superheroes! On Tuesday each teacher got their very own Swig drink as well as different types of yummy popcorn.  On Wednesday teachers got Jimmy Johns sandwiches and homemade soup.  On Thursday there was a soft served ice cream machine in the faculty room.

Tardy Smarties at Spanish Oaks

We are having a great time with our Tardy Smartie "on time" celebration activity.  On random days, Mrs. Brown calls out a number over the intercom during morning announcements.  If the student who has been assigned that number in each classroom is in their seat and ready for the day, they get to come down to the office and get a Smartie from the secretaries.  Here are last weeks Tardy Smarties!

Spanish Oaks PTA was happy to present Mrs. Jackson the PTA Outstanding Educator Award today.  This award recognizes an educator nominated by the PTA board based on their relationship with students, parents, PTA and the community.  We heard from many parents who emphatically declared Mrs. Jackson the perfect recipient of this award!


February Reading Celebration

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

Students receive reading tickets for completing their nightly independent reading.  The more minutes a student reads, the more reading tickets they earn.  The more reading tickets a student earns, the higher chance they have of getting their reading ticket drawn to have a reading celebration with Mrs. Brown.  This month's reading celebration was getting the opportunity to decorate heart-shaped sugar cookies with Mrs. Brown.  The students had so much fun!
