Today was “Dress like a Star Wars character – The Drug Free Force is with me!”  Thanks to all those who participated.  It was so fun to see the awesome costumes.  Tomorrow is Crazy Hair Day. 

May the Drug Free Force be with you!

It’s Health and Safety week at Rees!  Each student received and red and green ribbon today.  Remind your child to dress up and wear their ribbons each day to receive a prize from the PTA!  

This is my 17th year at Rees.  I have one son, his name is Michael.  My husband’s name is Randy.  I enjoy working in my yard, playing softball and drag racing cars.  I enjoy spending time with my family.  I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.

Some fun facts about Mrs. Painter

I like watermelon, but I don’t like Honeydew melon.

Students in Mrs. Keisel’s and Ms. Dekker’s second grade class have been learning about matter.  We’ve talked about how matter is a solid, liquid, or a gas.  There are many ways matter can change.  A solid can change its shape by folding, biting, squishing, crumpling, etc.   Liquids can change their shape if being poured.

Here are some student responses to what they know matter is:

“Matter is…a solid, a liquid, a gas.”

“Matter is…something you see and feel and smell and taste.”

“Matter is…right here.”  (pointing to a friend)

Congratulations to these second graders!  They have demonstrated outstanding behavior in their classrooms for the month of September.  Way to fly, Eagles!
