Mrs. Phelps' class had a POWerful day learning all about digraphs. They learned that digraphs are one new sound represented by two letters, such as: sh, th, ch, wh, and ph. They used cool superhero glasses to find hidden digraphs all around the classroom. It was amazing how quiet and hardworking these superheroes were. The class concluded that the best digraph is ... "PH." Can you guess why?
The third grade students at Spanish Oaks received a special surprise gift from Nebo Credit Union today when ... brand new dictionaries were donated to our entire third grade!

Mrs. Downey, our librarian, always makes library time fun! Today Miss Hughes' fifth grade class presented a reader's theater, complete with costumes and accents! What a fun way to share reading with others!
Thanks, Mrs. Downey!
As the weather begins to cool, the expectation is for students to go outside on appropriate days. Students need to come dressed for outside play. When the temperature is below 20 degrees, students will be inside. On days when the temperature is between 20-32 degrees, we will make a careful decision as to whether an 'outside' or 'inside' day is appropriate. Wind chill, air quality and precipitation will always be taken into consideration when making these decisions. As the inevitable ‘inside day’ is needed, we are grateful to
Our annual Holiday Food Drive ran from Tuesday, November 4, 2014 - Friday, November 14, 2014 and was a HUGE success!

This week's 'bucket fillers' were busy cleaning up classrooms, donating to our food drive, helping friends at recess, acting appropriately in the lunchroom, setting a good example at our assemblies, etc., etc. Thank you for filling our buckets ... We appreciate you!
Yesterday we were entertained, as well as informed, by a safety assembly entitled SNAP. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Student Neighborhood Access Program (SNAP) is a fun and comprehensive program for walking and biking safely to school that engages and educates students, parents, school administrators, crossing guards and communities. The performers stressed that the students learn our Safe Walking Route, so we have attached that for your convenience. Let's stay safe!
The Challenge is On ... BOOK IT! asked principals across the country to take the Principal Challenge and commit to read one entire school day - from the first bell to the last - during National Young Readers Week, November 10-14!
All principals who completed the challenge posted a snapshot of their day and entered for a chance to win 101 copies of Jeff Kinney's ninth book, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul, for their school.
We had the amazing opportunity of having our very own Spanish Fork Veterans join us for a Veterans Day Assemby as we showed our love and appreciation for those in the service everywhere who have fought for the freedom of our country. It was extra special to have Maren Christensen, one of our own staff, play "Taps" as the flag was retired, as well as our school choir singing The National Anthem.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bellomy's third grade class for having the most drops in their class bucket for the month of October! They got to celebrate with Mrs. Brown, who provided root beer floats. Keep up the great work!
