We are finishing up our Kindness Week (but hopefully not our kindness).  It has been a great week, and we would like all of our staff and students to keep being kind in the forefront of their minds as we finish up the rest of our school year.

We are having so much fun here at Spanish Oaks this week!  It is amazing how the students have grabbed onto the idea of being kind and are helping other students, giving compliments and being all around more friendly and kind.

Kindness Week-Day 3

We started off Day 3 with the following quotes from Jaiden Millard and Wrigley Henry: “You will never be forgotten if you’re kind,” and “To have a friend, you have to be a friend.”  Thanks for these awesome thoughts to keep in mind today.  Our song was “A Little Bit of Honey,” which got us dancing, and our challenge is to write a note of gratitude to any Spanish Oaks staff member.

Our activity for the day is to have each student finish the sentence “I love my school because . . .”   Here are some of their responses:

Pie Throwing for Good Behavior?

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

In Miss North’s class we have been working hard to show respect by following directions.  When we follow directions we earn a class point. As a class we voted that if we earned enough points we got to throw pies at our teacher.  We had fun throwing pies in Miss North’s face! :)

Day 2 in our Kindness Week has really been fun!  Our 2 quotes this morning were "being kind to friends is good, but being kind to everyone is better,"  by Katie Bennett and "Be the reason someone smiles today!" by Alli Christiansen.  What great things to remember!  Our song was I Like Being Me and our challenge has been smiling at 25 people throughout the day!
