Second grade OERB lesson on force. Pushing and pulling. We are thankful for the support of the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board.
From Mrs. Martin:
So proud of these kiddos and the awesome ice cream prints that they made! Thank you Stephanie Marak Baker for your donation of the foam printing sheets and materials that made this project possible. They turned out so cute!
Thank you to Sapulpa Braums for allowing us to participate in the Braum's Book Buddy Program.
Edison students in first and second grade will be able to earn coupons throughout the year for reading books. Coupons can be redeemed at the Sapulpa Braums for free ICE CREAM!
Thank you so much to our friends at Braums for supporting Edison and fostering the love of reading in our little Pirates.
(Program is nation wide for first and second grade students.)
Parent Teacher Conferences are next Monday and Tuesday, October 14th and 15th from 4-7 p.m. Parents can contact their child's school if they've not already signed up for a conference. Fall Break will begin Wednesday, October 16th. School will resume from Fall Break on Monday, October 21st.
We are so grateful for our BHS Leadership volunteers! This week students in Mrs. Mattox's class learned all about the letter F. Kaden, who is also a BHS Football player taught students how to catch, throw, and kick a football! Go Pirates!!!
F is for football and FUN. Kaden, BHS leadership student, brought his love of football to his PreK class during their letter F week. Check out those skills!
Do you have something in mind that the PreK would love to learn or experience? Get with the office or your child's teacher and let's give them ALL of the cool experiences!
New to the CREW: Meet Mrs. Smythe, our librarian.
Just like we did with Mrs. Martin, we put Mrs. Smythe to the test with a LOT of fun questions. What do you think is the most surprising fact?
Please help us welcome Mrs. Smythe to the Pirate Family. We hope you plan to come over to the library next week during Parent/Teacher conferences. She would love to say, AHOY MATE!
About Life Outside of School
• What is one of your hidden talents?
I am awe4some with a leaf blower! It is one of the tools that I can use when fighting fire with my volunteer fire department.
• What would the students be surprised to find out about you?
Hmmm... I am very mysterious. My students would probably be most surprised to find out that I did not become a teacher until only two years ago.
• What is your dream vacation?
I would love to take a trip to visit all 7 continents! Also, I want to go to all the outdoor food markets that I see sometimes on social media. I can smell the yummy food right through the screen!
• How do you spend your summer breaks?
Sleeping, reading, and swimming.
• What are your “trapped on a desert island” books or movies?
The book that I could read again and again would be The Bible, or any fantasy book with dragons.
• If you won the lottery and decided to give up teaching, what would you do instead?
I would run a dog shelter, where I could snuggle dogs while they are waiting for their new homes.
About School Life
• What makes a ‘good day’ at school?
A good day at school is one where I can share my love of books with my students. When they enjoy reading, it increases their chance of academic success. Plus, books, ya know!
• How do you show your school spirit?
I wear purple every Friday, and I am learning the Bristow cheers from the cheerleaders who help with the car line every Friday.
• What sort of morning routine do you have to get jazzed for class?
I like to jam out to music first thing in the morning.
• What inspires you?
I would have to say my family. My husband, my children, my grandchild, and I have gone through a lot as a family, and they are the most amazing blessing I have ever received.
• How does technology make teaching more simple or difficult?
I think technology enhances education. We have access to so many resources using technology that were unheard of before. We can also use technology to help students develop real world skills.
• What’s the best/worst thing about being a teacher?
The best - my students, the worst - getting up early!
Ag in Education was alive in Bristow recently. Students from the High School FFA program came to Edison with stories and pig friends. Hearing a story is fun, but watching the story come alive with pigs you can pet is priceless.
We are SO LUCKY that our district works in support of each other from high school to kindergarten.
Don't forget about the BOOK FAIR that is happening at Edison this week. We will have it next week during parent/teacher conferences also...but, you know all the GOOD STUFF will be gone!
Good Morning Edison Family. We are looking forward to the busy season. Here is a look ahead for this week... Please share with others who might need to keep up with the fun. We have a LOT coming up. Be on the Look Out, Pirates!
Our Book Fair starts this week! Come by and check it out! Be sure to sign up for a Parent Teacher conference on October 14th and 15th. We look forward to meeting with you and sharing all the great things your child is learning! We have our first Rise and Shine assembly on Friday and our students will attend the Homecoming parade! Check out this week's newsletter to learn more! Have a great week! https://secure.smore.com/n/snt5a
GO PIRATES!!! I don't have many pictures today. We love these high school kids coming to visit us on Friday mornings.
Are you a business who misses the days when Edison students would parade the streets so you could hand out treats on Halloween? Maybe you are a grandparent, or a Civic Organization. Maybe you just love Halloween or perhaps you live in the country and don't receive a lot of trick-or-treaters. We want YOU to join our Halloween fun this year!
You can email Jen Taylor at JTaylor@bristow.k12.ok.us to reserve a spot. We are hoping for fun truck or treat partners!!
If you have any questions you can reach out to Edison by phone or email Jen.
Costumes will be welcome! NO blood, gore, or weapons will be allowed.
Please be aware - SPACE IS LIMITED. First Come First SERVED!!! Message Jen, TODAY!
The Book Fair is coming to Edison NEXT WEEK!
Parents are able to set up e-wallets for their students to make transactions safe and secure. Money isn't lost on the bus or on the playground. Website for online shopping: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/edisonelementaryschool18
We LOVE the Book Fair - you are welcome to shop online or in person. Each purchase not only helps your student learn to love to read, it helps Edison, too. Thank you for always supporting us and the Book Fair each year.
What are some of your favorite memories of the book fair?
Kindergarten took a turn in learning all about Apples last week,
Thank you Bristow McDonalds for donating apple pies for all of our little friends to enjoy.
We love how the Bristow Community supports our school district.
THANK YOU!
Edison Events - Look ahead!
