This week's students shared with me some of the reasons they thought they were chosen as Go Getters. Several said walking in the hall quietly, one said being respectful to others and another thought it was for helping people in their class. I'm sure they have done all these great things, and more!
I've been the secretary at the Spanish Oaks Elementary since it opened in 2001. I worked the summer before it opened to help set up the elementary. I've seen a lot of changes in the last 17 years. I've also worked at Spanish Fork Intermediate and Payson Jr. High. I just started my 23rd year at Nebo School District. My husband and I live in Elk Ridge. We have five children and 15 grandchildren, four of them attend Spanish Oaks Elementary!!! We enjoy glamping (we have a motor home so I've been told we are not camping). We also have a side-by-side so enjoy exploring the mountains.
Congrats to Chrissie Robinson for earning the Crystal Apple Award! She is such a hard-worker. She works long hours and does such quality work. We are so lucky to have you at Spanish Oaks!
A huge shout-out to our 6 Excellent Explorer winners for this past term. They are super students and just great kids all the way around! They were each nominated by a staff member or fellow student and then voted on by our committee. Thank you, students, for a great job!
Students in 1st grade got to come dressed as what they want or be when they grow up. Then we had parents come talk about their jobs. We had a banker, vet, chemist, electrician, police officer, dentist, and Papa Murphy’s business owner come. They talked about how much schooling is required to have that job, the best part about their job, and the hardest thing about their job! The students learned so much and had lots of fun!
Mrs. Liddle’s first grade class was lucky enough to have Mrs. Fillmore come teach a dance lesson on composite shapes using elastic bands. The students had so much fun!
6th grade trying to cut a paper as small as an atom. Did you know, if you cut a piece of paper in half 31 times it will be the size of an atom??
Our fifth grade students have been busy researching a president or first lady for the past several weeks. The unit culminated in a fun Tea At the Whitehouse celebration held for parents. The students dressed up, drew caricatures of their chosen person, and provided clues for parents to guess who they were representing. Refreshmnents were even served :) A special thanks to the fifth grade teachers for all their work in organizing this great event!
Mrs. Brown came in and taught all of 2nd grade about telling time. She shared a fun story about Minute Man Marty and Hourly Anna.
