Today we talked about the animal adaptation camouflage! The students then drew a chameleon and camouflaged them in our classroom somewhere. They were very creative!
Recently, Rees 5th grade students had a performance from the Maple Grove Middle School Orchestra. They had a great time and learned how fun it can be to be in the orchestra next year when they go to middle school.
Local author and singer, Shaun Barrowes, performed for 3rd-5th grade students at Rees. It was an INCREDIBLE performance and so much fun for everyone! Thanks Shaun for sharing your talents with our Rees Eagles!
Mrs. Luke's class had the opportunity to celebrate Lunar New Year with a Chinese dragon dance. We learned that the dragon dance is performed during the lunar new year to chase away the bad things from the old year and to welcome in prosperous times for the new year. Thank you to Cassie and Brayden Abbatiello for providing this awesome experience for my class, it was wonderful!
Recently, second grade students made paper snow flakes for fun Friday. They were all so creative and had so much fun!
This week Rees students had a fun assembly where they learned how everyone can enjoy music whether they are a composer, lyricist, performer, or a listener. Students sang and moved along with the performers and enjoyed learning all about music.
Today Rees 5th graders had the opportunity to hear the Maple Mountain High School Jazz Band and learn all about playing in a band. Soon they will get to select classes for middle school and they learn what instruments they would be able to choose if they join band next year.
Rees 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade student enjoyed going to a BYU basketball game this week! It was fun for everyone!
