This week, the Elite 8 in the Math March Madness Multiplication Contest took another qualifying test. These students advanced to the Final Four and will take their final test next week to see who the Math March Madness Champion is for their grade level. The winners will be announced at the Victory Assembly next Friday.
Last week, the Elite 8 were announced for the Math March Madness Math Competition. A few of the 4th Graders were absent when the picture was taken. Tomorrow, the Final 4 picture will be posted.
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!
A Big Cherry Creek Shoutout to the Springville Police and Fire Department. Springville Officers and Firemen came on Friday to read with Crocs to end our Literacy Week. Thank you to Springville PD and Fire Department for being great examples of good leaders in the community and showing us how important reading is.
Mrs. Utt found some more kids having SNOW much fun during lunch recess.
There haven’t been many days this year that there’s been a lot of snow in the field. Mrs. Thornton shared a picture of students having fun, making a huge snowball. Snow much fun!
Mrs. Nielson’s class is on a roll! They took the Spirit Day Trophy again. Congratulations!
These happy faces are the winners of the drawing for Thursday night’s bedtime read. We hope you have enjoyed reading The World According to Humphrey with your teachers and faculty members at Cherry Creek during Literacy Week. If you enjoyed this book, consider reading more books in the series.
The 2nd grade caught wind of the trend! A 2nd Grader in Mrs. Hardman’s class saved her Croc Cash to buy Principal Darrington’s Chair for a day. A comfy way to spend a day at school.
Keep tuning in to our Bedtime read of The World According to Humphrey. These students/families were chosen as winners of the nightly drawing for Tuesday and Wednesday. What is going to happen next in the story. Find out tonight, comment on our Cherry Creek Facebook page and be entered in for our next drawing.
