3rd grade teachers

Submitted by makenna.taylor on

Mrs. Bingham's 5th grade class stopped by Mrs. Taylor's 3rd grade class while working on non-fiction text features. 3rd grade students had to find text features such as headings, maps, captions etc. in a text book. When they were finished with their scavenger hunt, they quizzed their older dragon friends to find everything that they had just learned. 3rd graders sure loved it when their 5th grade partners would get stumped and they would have to teach them.

Submitted by alison.hansen on

This week's class spotlights are Ms. Hartung's class and Ms. Chen/Giles' Forest Class (Chinese Immersion).  Ms. Hartung's class is very accepting of other people's differences and learning abilities.  They realize that differences don't always have to divide them.  Way to be kind and compassionate!  This shows real Dragon spirit!!  Ms. Giles/Chen's Forest class loves having a daily password to get into class.  They love to work hard and enjoy their monthly class store.  This class shows that working hard and having fun are also part of what it takes to show Sage Creek Dragon spirit!

Veteran's Day at Sage Creek

Submitted by alison.hansen on

Sage Creek had a delightful Veteran's Day program.  Mr. Bill Wright, mayor-elect of Payson City, came and talked to the children about his life growing up on a military base as well as his career as a police officer and police chief of Payson.  His message was shared with the school as our 5th gr students sang multiple patriotic songs including singing and signing the national anthem.  Jonathan Young from Springville High School played taps for the students following a moment of silence.  It was a touching and moving assembly for all involved.  We especially appreciated our speaker was the grandfather of three of our students - Lizzie, Kathrine, and Daniel Wright.

Ms. Lund's Class - Making Our School Beautiful!

Submitted by alison.hansen on
Ms. Lund's 2nd gr class sure shows school spirit!  They are the class spotlight this week.  It started with 4 girls who helped Ms. Lund pick up some litter when she was on playground duty 2 weeks ago. Ms. Lund says, "We  picked up a few pieces of litter, and then found a big black trash bag on the ground. We filled it up before recess was over.  The next day, the 4 girls picked up litter again, with several more kids helping. They are still picking up bags of litter every day at recess, and are keeping our field litter-free. Now, if I can get them to figure out a better name than The Garbage Club..."  Way to go Ms. Lund's class!

Hall of History to honor great Americans

Submitted by makenna.taylor on

5th grade students have done it once again. They have worked hard, and shown what it looks like to be a great American. They each picked a famous American that had an impact on this great country. We had presidents, actors/actresses, abolitionists, astronauts, and many other great Americans. 5th grade put on an incredible show Thursday evening to show friends and family what they have learned about Americans. They sang songs and memorized speeches for people to listen to. On Friday they shared their speeches with their fellow Dragons. They also gave a great assembly. Mr. Wright's father came to speak about the military, we also had an amazing student from SHS play taps on the trumpet. This was a very special day at Sage Creek. Thank you to all of those who serve this country. Happy Vetrans Day  

3rd grade has a blast at BYU Planetarium & Bean Museum

Submitted by makenna.taylor on

Today was a great day to be a 3rd grader at Sage Creek! All of 3rd grade was able to go to BYU Planitarium where they learned about the stars, moon, planets, and comets. Afterwards they walked across campus to the Bean Museum. They learned lots of interesting facts about animals, and several other things. They ended it by an incredible show about ecosystems, and they got to see a real life lizard, frog and turtle.
