I am a mom of four kids, two 18 year old girls, a 15 year old girl, and a 13 year old boy.  I love animals!  I have 2 dogs, 6 chickens and 27 pigeons.  My favorite thing to do besides teaching is going camping with my family and playing with my pets.

Some fun facts about Mrs. Luke:

I like green, but I don’t like purple.

I like Thai food, but I don’t like sushi.

I like tennis, but I don’t like soccer.

I like mangoes, but I don’t like watermelon.

Hey everyone we are so excited to be doing the Reflections Contest this year through National PTA. Hopefully your child has come home with a yellow piece of paper explaining reflections to you. This years theme is "What is your story?" The categories you can enter in are: Dance choreography, Film production, Literature, Music composition, Photography and Visual arts. These projects need to be turned in October 18th from 8-8:45am at the school. 

Sincerely,

Rees PTA

I love traveling, seeing new places and being outside with my family.  We like to hike, ski, camp and boat together.

Some fun facts about  Mrs. Searle:

I like yellow but I don’t like black.

I like potatoes, but I don’t like asparagus.

I like to watch basketball, but I don’t like to watch wrestling.

I like raspberries, but I don’t like guava.

I like dogs, but I don’t like spiders.

The best part about my job is working with the children and people at Rees.

Science is a BLAST in 5th grade.   We are learning about physical changes and chemical reactions.   This is a demonstration showing a fun physical change.

Mrs. Hunt's 5th grade class and Mrs. Chidester's Kindergarten classes have become buddy readers.   The fifth grade help give the kindergarten individual attention for learning the new skull of reading.

The Kindergarteners have special books to read that introduce the letters and their sounds.   Once the kindergarten student had read these books to the fifth graders, then they can choose a fun picture book off the shelf.

Buddy reading with the kindergarten is s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-super fun!

I grew up in the best era - the 80’s and 90’s!   I was born in Payson and grew up on a farm just outside of Spanish Fork.   I’m the fifth child out of seven kids.  I grew up playing sports like baseball, basketball, ran track and cross country in high school.  I love to fish and be in the mountains.  I have five kids of my own.  I’ve taught 5th and 6th grades at East Meadows and 4th grade at Hobble Creek.  I was the Title 1 Coordinator at Park for four years.  This is my 11th year in education.

Well….it’s been a week.  Take a look to see which teachers were happy about the outcome of the big game.

Maple Mountain High School football players visited Rees students.  Players read to students and had fun playing with them outside.  Thanks for coming!

Send your kid(s) out the door with their smiles because tomorrow, (Sept. 16) is picture day! 

Rees students were entertained with a visit from a couple of the members from the Harlem Globetrotters!  Peewee and Hollywood taught us about how to be responsible and why it’s important for us to have that characteristic.  Students were asked to give an example of how to be responsible.  Here are a few of their responses:

“Taking care of your Android or iPhone.”

“Doing your homework.”

And a favorite among teachers was: “Not yelling at your teacher.”
