- SNACK: Because 5th-grade lunch is not until 12:20, we are allowing 5th graders to bring a HEALTHY snack. The snack must be something they can eat while continuing to work, and the snack must not require a spoon and cannot be messy.

TEACHER SPOTLIGHT:
Mrs. Kocian
This will be my 29th year in education and 26th year teaching math but my first year in 5th grade! I am originally from Kansas but I got to Texas as fast as I could! I have spent all my teaching years here in Red Oak and all at ROE.
I live in Waxahachie with my husband Jim and step-son Cameron. I have a beautiful step-daughter Ashley, her husband Robert, (a former student) and the light of my life, my grandson Easton. My mother is the oldest of 16 children, so besides my brother and sister, I have a huge extended family. Makes for great family reunions.
For fun, I like to bake, cook and read. I love houseplants and succulents, but I do not have a green thumb! My favorite place in the world is my cabin in Colorado. I love home projects and working with my husband on them.
