The annual PTA Fun Run was held on Friday, September 25, 2015 at Rees Elementary.  It was already Team Jersey day for the Red/Green Ribbon week and having a fun run was a great way to team up together to promote healthy habits.  Grades K-2 ran one lap around the neighborhood, grades 3-4 ran two laps and grades 5-6 ran three laps.  Each student received a medal or bracelet as they crossed the finished line.  Students who placed in the top three in each group, received a Gatorade and a new pair of socks!  Everyone was served apples, granola bars and water for a yummy

Miss Ledingham's class had a State Fair.  Each student got to choose a state to study.  We made slide shows at school and projects at home.  We worked on these reports for about one month.  On the day of the State Fair everybody brought in such cool projects.  From posters and paintings to displays and models, everyone was creative in using what they had at home from sugar cubes and clay to Legos and lights.  Everyone had a BLAST!

Miss Ledingham's class has also been studying earthquakes.  We learned about tectonic plates and how they move and change the earth's surface.  If they move towards each other they form a mountain.  We also learned that when the plates rub against each other buildings can fall.  And if they separate a rift is created in the ground.  After we learned about what causes earthquakes we made cakes that we quaked them in four different ways.  It was very fun!!
