Gingerbread House Contest

Submitted by angie.keisel on

At Monday’s collaboration, teachers were busy creating a gingerbread house for a team building activity.  Kits were provided, but the teachers put a creative twist on it.  It was fun!  Students voted for a gingerbread house and the winner is: the sixth grade team with their creativity of incorporating Brigham Young University!  Congratulations!

Do You Hear What I Hear?

Submitted by angie.keisel on

If you’re at Rees Elementary this time of year, more than likely, you are hearing what I’m hearing.  Singing!  Christmas songs are being sung throughout the school. 

Each year, we gather together to sing Christmas songs as a school.  Songs are chosen from a hat as students lead the audience with light sabers.  A new piece was added this year where teachers participated in a Christmas lip-sync. 

December Reading Carnival

Submitted by angie.keisel on

The gym filled up quickly as students celebrated!  When students meet their teacher’s reading expectations, students earn tickets.  These tickets go toward carnival activities put on by each grade level at the school.  They can be spent however they choose.  This only happens twice a year.  Continue marking those reading calendars for the carnival that will be held at the end of the year.  Great job students!

 

Twelve Acts of Service

Submitted by angie.keisel on

Our class decided to spread some cheer and happiness throughout the school by doing a version of the 12 Days of Christmas, only we did 12 random acts of kindness. Most classes received a spontaneous treat from us. We would pick a class from random and surprise them. We read to our Kinder friends and helped clean the cafeteria after breakfast. The class could not forget our awesome office staff so we gave them "a break on us" with a gift card to Sip-In. We also gave books to some classes.

Quilts and Cookies

Submitted by angie.keisel on

Mrs. Smith’s fourth grade class had an extra special Christmas party.  A mom and grandma volunteered to plan a party for the class.  What the students didn’t know is they’d be learning a new skill-quilting!  Students tied a quilt and fleece blankets to give to a family in need this Christmas.  Mrs.
