Mrs. Beyal, from the Title Vll department at Nebo School District, visited our second graders on Monday.  She taught us an important lesson: we are all children of different colors.  We sang a Native American song in sign language, learned about a loom, how to make a rug, their homes and more.  Thank you for coming!

Once again, Artists in Residence has taken place at Rees!  Students have worked so hard to perform and display their art form for the last two weeks.  We are so grateful for the artists who put in so much time for these students.  We are also grateful for those teachers and staff members who have organized this amazing opportunity for students.  Thank you!

I have taught for 10 years.  I have two kids and I love to read and play the piano.

Some fun facts about Mrs. Harvey:

I like blue, but I don’t like pink.

I like pasta, but I don’t like seafood.

I like gymnastics, but I don’t like golf.

I like berries.

I like orcas, but I don’t like snakes.

The best part about my  job is seeing kids learn new things.

Mrs. Keisel’s second grade class had so much fun exploring pumpkins.  We estimated the number of lines and seeds in a pumpkin and listed adjectives to describe the outside and inside of a pumpkin.  There were a few students who had never carved or seen the inside of one before!  It was a sticky, smelly, gooey, squishy time!  

We had a special visit from several Veterans from Spanish Fork today for our Veterans Day Assembly.  The second grade students sang the National Anthem in sign language today and the assembly ended with all students standing and singing “God Bless the U.S.A.”       

We are thankful for all of the courageous men and women who have served, and who are currently serving, our country.  We are so lucky to live where we do.  Thank you!
