5th Grade Reaction Time

Submitted by heidi.groneman on
The 5th grade had the pleasure of having Paisley from the Children's Museum of Utah come and do hands-on physical changes and chemical reactions with us.  The students were able to mix substances and then determine whether or not a new substance was created or not.  This was a great way to reinforce the learning that has been going on in our classrooms!  (Not only was it fun and educational, each of the students get a free pass for admission to the museum!!)

New Trees for Rees Eagles!

Submitted by heidi.groneman on

Our Rees Eagles had a great opportunity to learn more about caring for their school and the community by planting three new trees. On Monday, October 19th, 4th-6th grade students worked with TreeUtah, a non-profit organization dedicated to planting trees, to add two honey locusts and one bosnian pine to beautify our campus. Students were taught about how trees can help our community, and how to help the trees grow. They then helped spread the roots, added nutrients to the soil, filled in the dirt, watered the trees, and mulched the base of each tree.
