Angie Debo Elementary -

Woot-woot! We made it to Friday! For Summer Social BINGO and Library BINGO, we want to know 5 facts you’ve discovered about our great state or larger metro area through the research process! Mrs. Martin found out these facts and even had pictures to accompany them: 1. Oklahoma’s State Steak is the Ribeye!🥩 2. The shopping cart was invented in Oklahoma! 🛒 3. The first parking meter was installed in our state!🅿️ 4. Green and white are our state colors! 💚🤍 5. Oklahoma has more human-made lakes than any other state in the US (more than 200)!⛵️ Drop your facts in the comments - most unique fact gets bragging rights! And extra points for photos!🐬

🐬💜You know what day it is, Dolphins - Well-Wish Wednesday! And this week's well-wishes are brought to you by our fifth-grade team! While we all get to see students grow and thrive from one year to the next, our fifth-grade teachers get a completely unique perspective as they help our Dolphins navigate the transition from their roles as leaders of elementary school into the great unknown that is middle school. To be sure, yearly progress is incredible to see, but there is nothing quite like watching students leave their mark on our community and their legacy in our building as they wrap up their time in elementary school. And what's even better? Our fifth-grade team does everything as a pod family! So while our students are acquiring new skills and preparing for big transitions, they can rest easy knowing that their teachers are there to help them and love them through every single bit of it! Anddddd we have a couple of new faces to introduce to you all! Please welcome Mrs. Holt and Mrs. Lang to our Dolphin family! We are so glad to have them, and we cannot wait for them to see what Angie Debo is all about! Enjoy the rest of your week, and always know that all of our Dolphin faculty and staff love you, and we're wishing you well!💜🐬

🍎Back-to-School🍎 is right around the corner, so how about a little midsummer update for our Dolphins?! Start getting Back-to-School ready now so that you can spend the rest of the summer soaking up the sun!🌞 Questions, comments, or concerns? Send us a message, and we'll get back to you ASAP!

It’s Friday - woohoo! If you’re looking for some weekend plans, Summer Social BINGO needs to see some ⛺️camping⛺️ (or glamping, if that’s what you prefer) pics! Inside or outside, blanket forts or tents, the logistics are up to you, but Miss Bell’s basset hounds, 🐶J. Peterman and Larry David🐶, have some practical tips: 1. Find a cozy spot! (We prefer the porch where we can watch neighbors🏃‍♀️, cars 🚗, and squirrels🐿️!) 2. Make sure you have lots of pillows and blankets! (We prefer separate blankets, but Mom made us share because that’s what siblings are supposed to do…or so she says.) 3. Bring your favorite stuffed animals🧸! (We’re not very good at picking up our toys, so Mom only let us bring 7.) 4. Summer camping isn’t complete without s’mores🍫! (We prefer marshmallow cream because we can lick it straight out the jar!) We hope your weekend is off to a great start, and we can’t wait to see those summer camping pics! 🐬

This week's Well-Wish Wednesday messages are coming from our Angie admin team!💜 You might assume that would mean Mrs. Williams and Mr. Goodrich, but I bet you can imagine that the work of running a school could never fall on just two people! Did you know that our counselors and our school psych also play a huge administrative role in our building? Even if you don't interact with this team on a daily basis, each one of our administrators plays a pivotal part in making sure our building is safe, responsive, and nurturing. Whether they're organizing school-wide initiatives and incentives, responding to teacher and student needs, working with individuals to ensure their academic and social success, or just cultivating all-around good vibes, our administrators are the cornerstone of our school culture! So if you love being an Angie Debo Dolphin🐬, you can thank our admin team in the comments because without them, we wouldn't be who we are as a school family! As always, from all of us at A.D., we love you, and we're wishing you well! Have a safe and happy 4th of July!🎆

It’s Movie Monday, everyone! …Well movie based on a book, that is!🎞️ For today’s twofer, you can beat the heat by watching a movie based on a book you’ve read! Mrs. Williams and her family sat down to watch Paddington based on the canonical children’s book by Michael Bond!🐻 What will you be watching this week? Let us know in the comments!🐬💜

Happy Twofer Friday, Dolphins!🐬 Your weekend task for both Summer Social BINGO and Library BINGO is to write out a list of ten of your friends in ABECEDARIAN sequence! Bonus points for including a picture with your friends!🔤 Would it surprise you to know that we couldn’t just pick ten of our friends? We simply have too many! We did however narrow it down to a group of Dolphins that met for lunch today! Can you spot: Mrs. Alexander Miss Appleton Mrs. Bollinger Mr. Ceynar Ms. Daugherty Ms. Duncan Mrs. Fulton Mr. Goodrich Mrs. Harmon Mrs. Hobson Miss Hungate Mrs. Jordan Mrs. Lipps Mrs. Mitchell(X2) Miss Rogers Mrs. Smith (X2) Mrs. Via Mrs. Wade Mrs. Ward Mrs. Watson Mrs. Williams Mrs. Yarbrough Enjoy your weekend, Dolphins! 💜🐬

Well-Wish Wednesday or Thinking-Of-You Thursday? Either way, this week's good vibes are coming from our first-grade team!💜 There's so much to love about our early-grade kiddos, and our first-grade teachers get a front-row seat to the full gamut of academic and social development that is early childhood education. Whether it's watching lightbulb moments in reading, observing burgeoning personal interests, curiosities, and problem-solving abilities, or witnessing the general, evolving sense of self-efficacy in students, first grade sees it all and loves it all! If your Dolphin is going into first grade, you're in for a year of progress that can only be defined in "leaps and bounds"! But not to worry, it's not "all work and no play" over here, our teachers have figured out the perfect ratio of ✨glitter✨ and Four-Square to mix into everything they do to make for the perfect learning environment! Also, let's give a warm A.D. welcome to our newest first-grade teacher, Mrs. Mitchell! Mrs. Mitchell is starting her eighth year of teaching and coming to us from OKCPS! We can't wait to show her some Dolphin hospitality! If you have any well-wishes, drop them in the comments below, and know that all of the faculty and staff here at Angie Debo love you and we're wishing you well!💜🐬

It's Well-Wish Wednesday, everyone! And this round of well-wishes comes from our kindergarten team! 💜 Kindergarten is one of the most unique years in a student's educational journey because it's the first year that EVERYONE has access to public education! As you can imagine, there is A TON of growth to be seen in our kinder kiddos over the course of just a short academic year - there is truly nothing quite like watching a student start to unlock their unlimited potential (not only academically, but socially, as well)! If you're looking forward to K-Start this August, raise your hand 🖐️! And rest assured, your soon-to-be kinder kiddo is in the very best hands around - our team is second to none! Also, please give a shoutout and a warm welcome to new Dolphin faculty member, Miss Tori Appleton!

We're so excited to have her in our Dolphin family! 🐬 As always, from all of our faculty and staff at A.D., we love you, and we're wishing you well! 💜🐬

💜📚🐬Not only is it Friday, but it's also a twofer BINGO day to start your weekend off right! Your weekend goal is to find a new book series, and start reading the first book! But what if you're like us, and you don't even know where to start looking? The Metropolitan Library System Librarians KNOW THEIR STUFF, and they can point you in any and all directions when it comes to what might fit your interests, what all the kids are reading now, and what's canonically popular! The summer reading challenges are HOT, and books are flying off the shelves, but here are 10 recommendations from the Edmond branch of the Metropolitan Library System! Once you have your series, drop a picture in the comments! We love book recommendations!🐬📚💜

It's Well-Wish Wednesday, and our Pre-K team wanted to share why they choose Angie Debo every single year!
