We had the 70th day in Kindergarten! To celebrate this awesome day Mrs. Robinson's class made the #70 with their bodies.  What a fun activity!!

This year Spanish Oaks hosted an after school Robotics Class through a UVU School of Education Outreach Program.  Each week 4th, 5th and 6th graders worked with college students on how to code and program robots.  The students had a great time using skills in Math, Science, and Technology.  Our class just wrapped up, and parents were invited to the last fifteen minutes for a "showcase" to see what their children learned.  Thank you, UVU, for an amazing learning experience!

Sixth grade students from Spanish Oaks were super excited for their annual trip to BYU for Christmas Around the World.  They enjoyed learning about different cultures, and their dance styles from all over the world.  Our students were amazing ... and want to send a special "thank you" to BYU for having them!

This year at Spanish Oaks we are using the book "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed" for our theme.  Our students are highlighted for extraordinary deeds they do for their schoolmates, and are signing our grade level blueberry muffins each week!  Here are our "extraordiberries" for this week!  Nice job, students!   We are having  a "berry" good year!

While the rest of the school was on a field trip to the BYU Basketball game, the first grade and kindergarten had the whole school to themselves.  The first grade had a very fun and eventful day to say the least.  We tried our best to make the day both educational and fun by teaching students what life was really like back in 1620.

Our Kindergarten students enjoyed a feast here at school before their Thanksgiving feast at home.  Dressed as Native Americans, with a new Native American name to match, they enjoyed learning more about the first Thanksgiving.
