January 2023

The kindergarten students are working on their self-portraits.  These portraits provide a glimpse into kindergarteners thinking, fine-motor skills, organization and observations.  Their completed work shows reflection and persistence!  Well done, kindergarteners!

Ms. Johnson's 5th grade class had an archaeologist visit because they won an archaeology scavenger hunt competition from the Utah State Historic Preservation Office.  Students learned how to use atlatls that helped with throwing spears. They threw them at target woolly mammoths! So cool!

Mrs. Shaffer is our new ESSER teacher. ESSER is a formal name for Reading Intervention. Ms. Shaffer's position is funded through a grant, with the purpose of providing a trained educator to fill in literacy gaps due to Covid. She loves working in small groups, grades 1 through 5. It has been delightful to see the success of the students as they learn.  We love Ms. Shaffer! Keep calm and keep on reading!

Ms. Gappmayer is our new(ish) 3rd grade teacher!  She enjoys painting and playing the guitar, piano and ukulele (so talented)!  Something unique about Ms. Gappmayer is that she was a lead singer in the band called 9th East, in college!  Their music is on Spotify and Apple Music!  Wow!  We love having Ms. Gappmayer at Sage Creek!
