Closing out October...






The kids did a wonderful job with questioning and learning how to annotate this past week.  Students  learned how to pick out words from our poetry and draw a picture on the side to show understanding...very different that illustrating.  This is a higher concept that prepares them for older grades! 

Flat Stanley photos and presentations were wonderful.  Students learned the importance of standing straight and tall, eye on the audience, and speaking loudly and clearly so everyone could hear you.  They were able to tell where they were in our community, what they do there, and why it is important to us! Those without access to photos drew a picture and presented.  It was all wonderful!

Congratulations for raising a great bunch of kids.  I think the children enjoyed getting awards and learning that hard work does pay off! :)  We are also very fortunate at Oakland to have THE BEST P.E. Teacher in the State!!  Coach Cabe puts her heart and soul into the well being of all students at Oakland.  I consider her a friend and I am proud to be part of 1 of 6 schools in the State of S.C. to be recognized as a "healthy school".  

Have a great weekend with all the harvest fun this and let's all get thankful as we head into next week.
