We were SO excited to host our first annual Fall Family Faculty Social at Spanish Oaks Elementary last night! Faculty members and their families joined together for food, fun and friend-shipping! The festivities included: a pizza restaurant truck (serving 3 different types of pizza), a massive water slip n' slide, socializing and visiting with the BEST people in the world, yummy desserts and salads, AND good times for all!
Mrs. Robinson's AM Kindergarten students had their first sorting lesson today! We sorted boys and girls ... then we made a pattern. The students came up with the pattern of two boys and one girl because we have SO many boys in our class! Hooray for kindergarten!
A HUGE "thank you" to the members of our extraordinary custodial team! Their efforts through the summer, and every single day, help make Spanish Oaks the place to be!
This year at Spanish Oaks we used the book "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed" as a kick off to our new theme for the year. Our students will be highlighted for extraordinary deeds that they do for their schoolmates, and will be able to sign our grade level blueberry muffins as "extraordiberries"! Here we have our very first extraordiberries for the new school year! Nice job, students! We are looking forward to a "berry" good year!
The upper-grade students at Spanish Oaks were treated to an amazing assembly to introduce the Learning Through Robotics after-school program starting in September. Participating students will learn to build and program educational robots, with applications in math and STEM programs. Miss Jaylene helped the students get excited about our upcoming class; she even brought actual robots! We are so excited to learn about robotics this year!
Mrs. Dimmick was thinking outside the box as she taught her third graders how to round, going "UP' when they get to five. Fun times!
Can one good deed from an ordinary person change the world? Well, we are going to find out ... This year at Spanish Oaks we are focusing on doing Extraordinary Deeds for those around us. We will work to perform good deeds for others, which will multiply as they are passed on by those who have been touched by our acts of kindness. It is going to be an EXTRAORDINARY year!
On Friday, August 28 from 6:00pm-7:30pm, our amazing PTA will host a 'Welcome Back to School' family movie night! We will be showing the Disney classic: Robin Hood.

Things our first week ran smoothly ... with crossing guards, kindergarten pre-assessments, lunch being served, teachers on recess duty, Mrs. Brown reading, and secretaries assisting students! Welcome back teachers, students and parents!
