The 6th graders taught each other about the planets through fun presentations, skits, and songs! Outer space is awesome!

Carrie Kump was fun to have in the kitchen this past week. She was shy at first, but we broke her down and by the end she was talking our ears off :)  We loved having her working with us. 

I am from San Diego, California. I have been married since last April and live in Provo. This is my first year in 5th grade and I love it. I enjoy watching movies (especially Disney), reading, going for walks and playing basketball. I also love to play board games with my family. I have two older sisters, a younger brother, and two nieces who I spoil a ton.

We are so grateful for your support of our school fund raiser last week ... We wanted to share some of the amazing things happening as a result of your generosity during last year's Jog-a-Thon!  Our combined efforts over the past few years have resulted in one-to-one technology at our school.  Thank you for your continued support of our learning!

We are happy to once again announce our Excellent Explorer Award Winners for our first term.  These are students that go the extra mile, choosing each day to ... Be kind, Show respect and Work hard. 

The third grade students at Spanish Oaks Elementary had the opportunity to participate in a fun Halloween themed art project. They all drew their own jack-o-lanterns and then they were able to use chalk to add color to their pumpkins. They had so much fun! 

We have an exciting Scholastic Book Fair coming to our school October 22-26!  We hope you will be able to make some time to come over to the school.  We will be open during school hours, and until 8:00 p.m. SEP night on Thursday. 

Did you know?  Reading just 20 minutes a day exposes your child to about 1.8 million words per year.  Reading helps students develop a stronger vocabulary, and in addition, students who read for pleasure average higher grades in English, mathematics, science, and history!

We always have a great bunch of students that earn "Go Getters" each week, but are pleased to announce those students that were chosen for this week.  Thanks everyone!

Learning about Ancient Egypt is so fun! The students played Senet, an ancient Egyptian board game that is at least 4000 years old. They also are mummifying an apple!
