Yesterday Ms. Christensen’s 2nd Grade Class did a huge coding project using the program Makey Makeys. The kids made models of the digestive system that when they pushed the buttons it recited information that the students wrote about each organ and its functions. This activity was similar to the game Operation. What a fun and unique way to learn about the human body.

Two First Grade Classes Rocked Spirit Day on Friday. Ms. Beeson’s class and Mrs. Jensen’s class made a tidal wave of RED down the 1st Grade hall, with everyone in both classes wearing RED or Cherry Creek attire. Congratulations! Thanks for showing your school spirit!
Cherry Creek’s Got Talent! Last week, the Kindergarten classes had their talent show. There were students that showed they could play the piano, sing, dance, do gymnastics & Karate and even more. The Kinders also showed their bravery by sharing their talents, not only in front of their peers, but also in front of an audience of parents and siblings! Kudos to the Kinders!
Thank you Springville Library for bringing Piggie and Elephant to Cherry Creek to celebrate National Library Week. The kids loved seeing you and visiting with you. It was fun to have you here.#springvillelibrary
The Friday before Spring Break was a busy day at Cherry Creek. We had a Victory assembly to find out who the Top Crocs and the Leaders of the Month were for March. The winners of the Math March Madness Multiplication Contest were also announced and joined the Top Crocs and Leaders of the Month in the Victory Lap. Congratulations to all!
Mrs. Darrington’s chair is in demand again! This week, a 4th grader in Mrs. Deardeuff’s class and a 2nd Grader in Mrs. Hardman’s class, turned in their hard earned Croc Cash for Mrs. Darrington’s comfy chair. What a great way to spend a school day!
Kinders are on a roll. A second Kinder, in a week, made the Impossible Possible. A kindergarten student in Mrs. Bergera’s class made the Impossible Shot this morning. Congratulations!
1st Grade was treated with a special story time on Friday. Tova Evansens grandpa is a professional storyteller and came to tell the first graders stories about his childhood.

How did she do it?? This week, a Kindergarten student in Mrs. Mitchell’s class made the Impossible Shot! Congratulations!
A 2nd Grader and a 4th Grader used their Croc Cash to buy Mrs. Darrington’s chair. Besides getting wall balls, Mrs. Darrington’s chair seems to be a popular item to save up for.
Just a reminder: Wednesday, March 19th is a half day, with school ending at noon so that Teachers can attend a Development Course.
Mrs. Brockbank, our district Arts Integration Coach, came to Cherry Creek in her kilt and played an Irish tune for St. Patrick’s Day. She taught our Crocs a quick Irish jig to go along with the song she played on her bagpipes. What a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
We have a new winner! Mrs. Golding’s 1st Grade Class takes the Spirit Day Trophy this week, with 93% of the class wearing RED or Cherry Creek attire. Congratulations!

Kindergarten just finished up a CKLA Knowledge unit on Colonial Towns and Townspeople. A big focus was on learning the different trades and skills that were a normal and necessary part of life in Colonial Times. Here are some photos of our Culminating Activity. Students rotated between four stations that highlighted important Colonial skills: carpentry (hammer, screwdriver, level), butter-making, miller (grinding flour, wheat berry sensory bins), and tailor/weaver (sewing and weaving). Thank you to parent helpers who came to assist and also an amazing 5th grade butter-churning expert.
To wrap up Literacy Week, the 2nd Graders had some special guest speakers . They had Graham Thorpe’s author grandma, Jennifer Beckstrand, come and talk to them about writing. And Asher Evenson‘s grandpa, Randy Evensen, told them a fabulously fun story as a professional storyteller.
Great fun in 2nd grade today!
