On Friday, we had our Victory Assembly where the Top Crocs and Leaders of the Month were announced. Congratulations to all who were recognized for living the 7 Habits. Progress on our two WIGS were also revealed. Crocs are doing well with earning Croc Claws. All Crocs need to continue reading every night so that you can earn tickets for our fun Reading Carnival.
Mrs. Jensen’s 1st Grade Class is all smiles. They won back the Spirit Day Trophy this week. Congratulations!
Mrs. Darrington’s chair is trending! This time, it’s a 3rd Grader buying the Principal’s chair for a day. Must be a pretty comfortable way to spend the day at school.
Those 2nd Graders think Mrs. Darrington’s chair is the best investment! Two more 2nd Graders trade in their Croc Cash for the use of the Principal’s chair for a day! Who wouldn’t like to study in comfort?
Kindergarteners have been learning about Christopher Columbus and how he sailed from Spain to North America in 1492. They had fun building their own ships out of tin foil and testing them to see how well they could float.
Math March Madness, our annual Multiplication Contest is coming up. Are you practicing? For those of you who are in 3rd Grade or new to Cherry Creek, 3rd Graders, 4th Graders and 5th Graders participate in a multiplication competition fashioned after the collegiate basketball championships.

The Elite 8 are take another test to determine the Final Four. At the March Victory assembly, the winners of the grade level competition are recognized with a Math Medal, a King sized candy bar and get to walk the victory lap. Who will find themselves on the top of the Leader board?

The 5th Graders have been perfecting their keyboarding skills. Recently, they had a competition to see who was the fastest and most accurate. Here are the winners from 5th Grade. The student holding the Golden Keyboard was the fastest 5th Grader at Cherry Creek and she will be moving on to the district competition. Congratulations!
Last week, the 5th Graders went on a field trip to visit the Capitol Building. Here they learned about Utah State Capitol history and architecture, Utah history, and government processes. They were fortunate that the Utah Representatives were in session and were able to meet with Representative Whyte.
On Friday, we had our January Victory assembly. Top Crocs and Leaders of the Month were announced. Mrs. Truscott was recognized as Cherry Creek’s Teacher of the Year.

Mrs. Darrington challenged all Crocs to do their nightly reading so that we can achieve our Reading WIG and have a skate party.
What a way to start off the new week in comfort! Another 2nd Grader saved enough Croc Cash to buy Mrs. Darrington’s chair for the day.
The 2nd Graders celebrated the 101st Day of School with Dalmatian Day. And on the 102nd Day of School, they wondered how it would be like to be 102.
