Last week, sixth grade students were treated with a visit from the Living Planet Aquarium’s Ecosystems Van. Students learned about living and non-living components of a healthy ecosystem and the need for all types of animals. They also learned about the need for adaptations. Students were introduced to a Double-Headed Yellow Amazon parrot and a Ball Python. It was a fantastic experience!
This morning we draw 22 student names from the 200 board outside Mr. Gull's office. These students earned at least one SOAR slip in the past couple of weeks for being awesome students. It is fun to announce their names during morning announcements and have them come down to the office to pick a book and other prizes. Keep SOARing Eagles!
The last few weeks Rees student have had the opportunity to learn more about drama from Ben Sansom, a Nebo District Gain Specialist. They have had lots of fun learning how drama can be integrated into many different subjects. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job Ben! Keep up the great work Eagles!
This week Rees 6th graders showed that they really know how to Serve and Support by helping 1st grade students test their ability to count to 120. First graders did a wonderful job counting and showing what they are learning. It was awesome to see the 6th grade students working together with these younger students. Keep up the wonderful work 1st and 6th graders!
Mr. Gull had some unexpected visitors yesterday when three kindergarten students from Mrs. Memmott's class came to read to him. They had only read their book one time and were doing such a fabulous job, they needed to share their reading skills with our principal. They did a wonderful job showing good reading strategies, helping one another, and and sharing their success. Keep Aiming High to Achieve students!
Some of our Rees classes celebrated 100 days at school today. There were lots of fun activities including 10 exercises 10 times to equal 100 exercises, writing, art, math, counting, challenges on how many licks to get to the center of a lollipop, stacking 100 cups, dice games, etc. Students had a fun Friday celebrating this monumental day in the school year.

Congratulations to these fantastic Rees students! These students were selected by their classroom teachers as students of the month for January. They are doing their best and they really know how to SOAR! Keep up the GREAT WORK Eagles!
Congratulations to Cole who was caught SOARing by someone in his class. His name was written on an Eagle Eye slip in Miss Saxon's 3rd grade class and entered into a drawing. When his name was selected, Cole chose to give a HIGH 5 to Mr. Gull (with his elbow). WAY to SOAR Cole!! Keep up the GREAT work!
Rees 5th graders had a fun afternoon celebrating their successful end of Term 2. They played board games, ate nachos, and played nine square. It was fun to hear them laugh and having a fun time celebrating their hard work. Keep up the great work 5th grade!
Mr. Gappmayer is an amazing educator. He is also a positive influence for students at Rees Elementary. Here, Mr. G. was caught teaching a lesson on how to show respect in the classroom. We refer to students quite often to show respect as part of our SOAR motto at school. Thanks Mr. Gappmayer for teaching students HOW to show respect at school.
