Mrs. Phelps’ class enjoyed watching their class t-shirts be printed with the “First Grade Explorer” logo. Mr. Dominquez showed students how he pushes the ink onto the shirts. He then let the kids put their own shirts onto a conveyor belt that sent the shirts through the dryer to set the ink. A special "thank you" to Mr. Dominquez for teaching us something new and fun! We love our new lime green shirts!

Our second graders finished off the first week of school with a splash! They had a "cool" experience getting wet playing games with their classmates and teachers. It was a great way to end a fantastic first week!
We are so excited about the great number of students that are filling others' buckets here at our school! We spotlighted these students this week, having them sign our ginormous bucket outside Mrs. Brown's office. Congratulations, Bucket Fillers!
This year at Spanish Oaks we are focusing on being "Bucket Fillers"! Each of us has an invisible bucket. It is constantly emptied or filled, depending on what others say or do to us. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When it’s empty, we feel awful … At Spanish Oaks, we fill buckets!
Everyone was very excited, and a little nervous for the first day of school in 1st grade, even the teachers. As all of the students gathered on the carpet for a story, one new friend raised his hand ...
Teacher: "Yes, do you have a question?"
Student: "Teacher, I was just wondering ... Is there a reason why your shoes don't match?"
Welcome back to school, everyone!
Ahoy, Matey! The theme for our third grade this year is "Pirates". Today we talked about how pirates would make ropes from individual strings, and how we are stronger as we learn and work together. Every student made their own rope bracelet as a reminder. Yo Ho Ho ... it's going to be a great year in 3rd grade!
Sixth Grade Team on Day 1 ... We are super excited to have a great year!!!
