The third grade students at Spanish Oaks enjoyed an awesome autumn field trip last week to the Red Barn. They learned about the process that the farmers go through all year long in order to ensure that there is produce in the Fall. It was a beautiful day for learning!
Bucket filling continued this week at Spanish Oaks ... Keep up the great work, students!

Here's a riddle for you? What is red, has a chimney, no doors, no windows, and has a star in the middle? (an apple) The first grade students in Mrs. Phelps' class had a wonderful time celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day last Friday. We learned a lot about apples, did "apple math," apple sequencing, apple rhymes, and even made our own applesauce. It was a delicious day to be in first grade!
The Kindergarten students at Spanish Oaks learned about labeling today. Working together as a class they helped to label the different body parts of some of our students. We labeled things like: arms, legs, ears, eyes, feet, etc. We learned that a label gives readers information about a picture or object, and that labeling is a beginning step to writing. Great work, Kindergarten!
We have another outstanding group of students in this year's orchestra at Spanish Oaks. "They are attentive and respectful, and they also know how to make some noise," says Mr. Hansen, our marvelous director. "We are currently learning how to hold the instrument and bow properly, as well as how to place the fingers of the left hand properly on the string to create other notes than the open strings." It sounds like it is going to be a great year!
Students and faculty alike dressed up in their favorite sports attire to support teamwork at Spanish Oaks. Only with teamwork are we able to accomplish our 'bucket-filling' goals!
Today our Kindergarten students had a visit from one of our local firefighters, Mr. Matt Taylor. We loved learning about his job and what he does as a firefighter in our community. We also learned what we could do as Kindergarten students to help him with his job. We can have an escape plan with our families in case of a fire and practice what to do with them. We even dressed up Mrs. Robinson in a fireman's suit to show that firemen are not scary. Then we got to go outside and sit in the cool firetruck. Thank you, Mr. Taylor!
