If I could be the postman for just one single time,
I'd choose to carry Valentines so lovely and so fine.
I would not mind the heavy load, or mind my tired feet.
If I could scatter happiness all up and down the street.

Cupid was alive and well at Sage Creek on February 14th.
The second grade students participated in classroom
rotation celebrations including:  cookie decorating, word
searches, candy heart graphs, holiday stories, passing out
valentines, valentine glyphs, and decorating containers.
"It was the BEST day ever," one student said as she left
with her spoils!

At Sage Creek Elementary we had our very own Second Grade
Science Fair on Friday, February 11th. Each class focused
on a second grade core topic and conducted simple
experiments and observations. We placed our projects on
display in our individual classrooms and rotated through
each other's rooms to see what was discovered. Thanks for
your encouragement and excitement for science!!

On Wednesday, February 2nd, student Caden Brown from Mapleton Junior High School joined Mrs. Brown's second grade class at Sage Creek Elementary for their annual 7th Grade Job Shadow Day. Caden read some of his very own stories he had published back in second grade to the students. He also worked with them on multi-digit math problems and winter art projects. He was able to participate in their reading stratgey discussion during Readers' Workshop on 'questioning', in addition to enjoying a fun-filled inside recess, due to the freezing temperatures outside. When asked what he liked best about the day, he said, "Just hanging out with the kids!" Thanks Caden, and MJHS, for sharing your 'budding' teaching talents with us!

On Thursday, January 13th, the second grade students at Sage Creek had their annual Walking Report Card SEP Conferences! For this conference, our students participated in a progress report that actually showed parents what their child could do. This was the students chance to show off! A Walking Report Card is a progress report provided for parents in the form of an organized observation of their child in a school setting. Parents were provided the opportunity to assess their child's progress by watching him/her participate in academic and social activities. Walking Report Cards are a simple, efficient and fun way to provide parents with important hands-on information about their student’s learning and understanding. Keep up the great work, second graders!

Each month Sage Creek students in the 4th, 5th and 6th grades compete against themselves and classmates to earn the most Reading Counts points. Reading Counts is a computer program that tests a students comprehension for books read and awards points based on the difficulty of the book. The winners from each grade level are treated to a pizza party with Principal Call at the end of each month. This month those celebrating were: Rebecca Gee, Anton Moss, Elizabeth Priego, Lindsey Tuft, Tyler Ashcraft, Spencer Taylor, Jake Blomquist, Aidan Erickson, Tyler Fisk, Dylan Robertson and Kaylie Ross. Way to go Sage Creek Super Readers!!!

The weather outside might be frightful, but . . . On Wednesday, January 5th, the second grade students at Sage Creek Elementary rang in the New Year with belated holiday celebration rotations! The students made ornaments and gift bags for their parents, joined in a rousing game of "Don't Eat Pete", and enjoyed the 'fruits' of their cookie decorating labors. Happy New Year!

Nebo School District's recent "snow day" provided 4th grade students in Mrs. Robbin's class to continue their Christmas spirit right in to the new year. Students wrote and performed the play, "How Hairbrush Saved Christmas" for parents and other school students for several days after coming back after Christmas break. This delightful activity incorporated state core objectives in both the language arts and fine arts areas, and the kids had a blast doing it.! Great job students!!

This year, Mrs. Trevenen's first grade class performed the annual Sage Creek Library Christmas play. The play was based on the book "Who'll Pull Santa's Sleigh Tonight?" by Laura Rader.  The students had a fun time dressing up as the elves and reindeer in the story.  Thanks to Mrs. Rasmussen, Sage Creek librarian, for making this possible for kids!
