Kindergarten students had a very important visitor last week, Mrs. Christie Leber a 911 dispatch operator. She taught us about safety and how and when we should use the 911 emergency number. We learned that the three most important times are to: 1) Report a fire 2) Save a life 3) Stop a crime. She also taught us the importance of knowing our name, address and phone number so we can help the emergency teams help us.
Kindergarten students got to meet our new school counselor, Mrs. Winkler, this week. She read us a story called, "My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Seuss. We loved learning about how sometimes our days can be like colors ... bright and happy like yellow, or sometimes sad and lonely like gray. We loved meeting Mrs. Winkler and can't wait until she visits us again!
After our opening Road To Success 'Jump Start Reading' assembly with the Just Jumpin' jump rope team, our students have gone jump rope crazy! They are both jumping and reading, though not at the same time :)
Students and teachers, alike, had a successful fire drill here at Spanish Oaks. First one of the year! Thank you to teachers for remembering those safety clipboards!
Kindergarten's first 'squishy day' was a success. They had a blast going to all of the fun stations. We want to thank all our mom helpers for making this day a success! We couldn't have done it without you!
Last Friday our Kindergarten got to go and get their t-shirts printed! They had a blast stepping on the peddle to spray on their logo and then catching their warm shirts.
Our 5th grade learns about physical changes and chemical reactions. Discovery Gateway visited our school and taught us about chemistry and chemical reactions. They did really awesome demonstrations and then the students got to mix different chemicals in a lab session. Future chemists in the making!

We are so excited to continue our Health and Wellness/Gold Medal School focus at Spanish Oaks this year. We want to thank all of our families for their enthusiasm to celebrate birthdays and special occasions with their child's class. Due to the growing health concerns and allergies of many of our students, we would like to propose an alternative to the traditional "candy/sugar" treats.
