To finish our unit on The Human Body, we donned our white coats and stethoscopes and did some Operating Room centers. We played Operation, sorted food into food groups, played germ memory, did band-aid math, and put  together body system puzzles!

Last week 1st grade went out and traced our shadows as an activity for our patterns of the sun unit. What a fun thing to do in this beautiful sunny, fall weather. Science is fun!

A big Croc shout out to all those who attended our Leadership Family Night: Cruising the Cultures of Cherry Creek. It was a fun evening with food, learning about different cultures represented at Cherry Creek and dancing! We even put into practice the following Habits: Habit 4: Think Win-Win, Habit 5: Seek to Understand and Habit 6: Synergize. A big thank you to all the Croc families who shared their cultures through dance, history and costumes. Kori Annan, a Ghanaian diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize winner said, “Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society,, in every family.” It truly was an educating evening.
