Mr. Gappmayer is an amazing educator. He is also a positive influence for students at Rees Elementary. Here, Mr. G. was caught teaching a lesson on how to show respect in the classroom. We refer to students quite often to show respect as part of our SOAR motto at school. Thanks Mr. Gappmayer for teaching students HOW to show respect at school.
Our Rees Kindergarteners earned their first Brag Tag for the year! They had to identify, write, and build the numbers 0-10! They have worked SO HARD and we are so proud of them!
Today we celebrated with our reward activity by playing Toilet Tag with Mr. Gull, Mr. Gappmeyer, Mrs. Groneman, Mrs. Metcalf, and the Kindergarten Teachers. So much fun! Thanks Kindergarteners!Mrs. Jolynn Clegg left Rees today after working here for 17 years. She did a WONDERFUL job with our take-home library. Each day, she made sure students had books to take home and read. In addition to her daily job with take-home books, she also worked daily with 1st grade students tutoring them in Heggerty, a phonemic awareness program, helping with supervision at lunch time, and coordinating the supervision schedule. We will miss her at Rees, but wish her well as she moves on. Thank YOU Mrs. Clegg!!
Some Rees had the opportunity to come to a Root Beer Float Party. In December at our reading carnival, these students chose to use some of their carnival tickets to come to the party. It was fun to see the kids laughing, smiling, and enjoying their Root Beer Floats. Keep reading at home Eagles!
This week, Rees students had a donut party with Mr. Gappmayer. These students used some of their reading carnival tickets from December to come to this FUN party. Students enjoyed donuts and chocolate milk while Mr. Gappmayer hung out with them. Students will have the opportunity for another party at the end of the school year if they continue doing their reading at home.
