Mrs. Dimmick’s class was lucky to have an AG in the Classroom visit ... Mrs. O’Gwin came to class and discussed with the students where their food comes from. They were able to see popcorn off of a popcorn cob. It was a great experience.

Thank you, Superintendent Nielsen, for the visit ... Be Kind, Show Respect and Work Hard at Spanish Oaks!
Today fourth graders used information from local grocery advertisements to create a Thanksgiving dinner for 6 under $60.00. Students are working hard to calculate how much they will spend per pound on turkey and what sides they would like to get.
What a great bunch of students we have at Spanish Oaks. Some real Heroes!
When our third graders pass off their fast facts this year they become “math wizards” and are awarded their own custom made wand. Today Hallie became our first math wizard!!
Today our Road to Success Assembly was a little out of the norm. Our very own Aubrey Smith wanted to show students how cool it is to write your own stories and make them come to life. She came up with a skit starring Snore-a the Explorer and Squeaky the Mouse. Snore-a and Squeaky were on a quest to find the perfect playground. On their way, they ran into a Troll, Captain Awesome, and even befriended Wanda the Witch. Snore-a learned that day that it was more important to make new friends than to find the perfect playground.
Students earn tickets for the minutes they read during the month. The more minutes they read, the more tickets they earn. Tickets are drawn and those students win books during our Road to Success Assemblies. During our assembly today, students won books and in addition, two tickets were dawn for bike winners! I have never seen two students more excited to win a bike before! Their faces were priceless.
We had a school-wide goal of earning $5,000 during our Jog-a-Thon. If the students were to reach that goal then Mrs. Brown would get slimed in front of the whole school. We exceeded that goal with $5,071.90. As promised, today Mrs. Brown got slimed during an assembly and it wasn't a disappointment! Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQbXqIcqUIM to watch the video.
