We are excited to announce our first annual Kindness Week here at Spanish Oaks. We have some fun and exciting activities, songs, challenges, etc. to enjoy throughout the week. We will be sharing quotes from the students each morning on the announcements, and doing our best to pass out over 2,000 “Caught ya’ Being Kind” slips to recognize acts of kindness going on around us. Here are just a few of the things we will be enjoying throughout the week:
Monday: Say good morning to 15 people
It was a close race, and changed daily, but our winning classes for number of Box Tops turned in are Mrs. Bate's Second Grade in 1st place, Mrs. Phelp's First Grade in 2nd place, and Mrs. Dimmick's Third Grade in 3rd place.
Another super bunch of students!!
We have amazing readers here at Spanish Oaks, and here are just a few of them that are celebrating with Mrs. Brown. They got to frost and decorate cookies, and then best of all, eat them! A special thank you to Aubrey Smith for organizing these activities each month! She is amazing!
We learn about living and non living things in 3rd grade. The students have been discussing the 8 characteristics that make something living. Today they were able to see how live worms react to: light, heat and water. Each student made a prediction, observed what happened and came up with a conclusion for why they thought the worm reacted in a certain way.
Thank you, students, for a great week! We are glad we got to celebrate your super behavior by having your represent our school as our Big Umbrellas of the Week.
Mrs. Baldwin's class had a great time acting out parts of the story Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. It was a fun learning experience! Our Drama Specialist taught us to do stills of a story to keep students involved and to boost comprehension. It works well. You do see two dragons flying because two students wanted to be the dragon who kidnapped the prince.
Here at Spanish Oaks, we have a crossing guard who comes before and after school and helps kids safely cross the street. That is not all that this crossing guard does, everyday she gives away handmade hats that she crocheted to the kids. She doesn’t know most of the kids but she still gives away hats to as many kids as she can. Most students just know her as the crosswalk lady or the hat lady. We thought we should give her some appreciation for her amazing acts of kindness, and get to know her a little better.
