WONDERful Night for Spanish Oaks 5th Graders

Submitted by kali.brown on

At the beginning of the year, each fifth grade class read the book Wonder by R. J. Palacio.  The students learned the importance of treating everyone with respect and "being kinder than necessary."  On Tuesday night, the fifth grade students and their families were all invited to go see Wonder together at the movie theater.  It was a great movie, with even greater company.

Play-Doh Brains at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

Miss McKendrick's class loved learning about the brain through some hands-on science.  Using the book "The Growth Mindset Coach", the class got into groups and put together their very own brain using Play-Doh.  After each part was completed on their play-doh brain, they would test each other on the roles of each part:  Pre-Frontal Cortex, Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Amygdala, Hippocampus, and Brainstem.  Did you know your Amygdala helps you feel emotion?  These kids do!
