Goodbye Mr. Pitcher

Submitted by angie.keisel on

Rees Elementary has had some great examples of leadership throughout the years.   Today, Mr. Pitcher and Mrs. Horner can be added to that list.

Each grade level sets a standard regarding math facts for students to pass off throughout the year.  Students have the opportunity to earn their eagle ‘wings’ to reach that goal.  Mr. Pitcher has supported this idea as he joins in to salute and congratulate those students who have earned their wings.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Fifth

Submitted by angie.keisel on

In our class we celebrated Star Wars day, but instead of celebrating May the Fourth we celebrated Revenge of the Fifth (Revenge of the Sith). Revenge of the Fifth was fun. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of work. First, we all did Star Wars Just Dance.  We all danced and it was fun. It was like a huge dance off. Afterwards we were all tired.  Mrs. James let us have a 30 sec break but then we went right back to dancing. Second, we did math.
