We are happy to have her as a teacher her at Sage Creek.
The fourth-grade has been building a place value line using chairs to represent places. The goal is to get to the million dollar chair. The reward when they get to the million dollar chair is to have the Principal come and read them a story sitting in this special chair. The children treated her as a queen and rolled her back to her office when she was through. Congratulations fourth-grade!! Keep up the great work.
Sage Creek Kindergarteners explored a variety of things at the Bicentennial Park. They looked at tadpoles, examined leaves, caught and examined insects, went on a wetland walk and documented their experiences through observational drawings.
Mrs. Beesley's class had Teddy Bear Day. Students brought their bears to school. While they were here they heard stories, helped with math, and were sorted in a variety of ways.
Vistors from the Ministry of China came to Sage Creek Elementary to visit and see the Chinese Immersion program. While here they visited several other classes to see what English Education is like.
5th Graders took a field trip to Springville Power Plant. Students learned about generating power, safety around down lines and how much energy it takes to turn on light bulbs.
Good Job Dragons! Keep up the hard work!
The second graders from Sage Creek visited Mrs. Alona Huffaker, of Springville. While there, they learned about apple trees, and how apples grow. Mrs. Huffaker gave the children a tour around her huge yard, showing them a variety of fruit trees, grape vines and a garden full of vegetables and flowers. Mrs. Huffaker gave each child a shiny, red apple. The children will do a variety of "apple math" activities tomorrow, and then they will eat their delicious, home-grown apples.
A great time was had by all at the Sage Creek Elementary Carnival. Special thanks goes out to the Springville High School Cheer Leaders, Springville High School Football Players, the community sponsors and all the volunteers who helped make this a success. There are several pictures attached. Make sure you see them all.
