On Friday, the 2nd Grade classes went on a Field Trip to Gordo’s Farm in Spanish Fork. There was a petting zoo with many different animals, they got a lesson on the life of a pumpkin, got a tractor ride and got to play in the corn pit. Cherry Creek Crocs are lucky to have farms close by to explore and learn about.

The 3rd Graders at Cherry Creek are learning about government in their CKLA unit. Representative Stephen Whyte, from the Utah House of Representatives, came to speak about his position serving in the legislature. He also talked about the right and responsibility to vote. They learned a lot about what government officials do and how the state government works. Thanks for coming Representative Whyte.

1st Graders have been studying about Shadows. They learned about how shadows move. On Friday, they got to go outside and use the sunshine to create shadows with their bodies and traced the outline of their shadows. Science is fun!

The PTA Leaders packed water, snacks and other items in a bucket for each classroom. Way to be a leader and use Habit #2: Begin with the End in Mind and Habit#6: Synergize!

Thank you parents and students for attending Leadership Night on Monday. We were illuminated in so many ways: Glow in the Dark Art Gallery, Glow in the Dark Games and Glow in the Dark Literacy and Math activities. Thanks to the PTA and sponsors, every Croc got a Cherry Creek Shirt. Each family got a game swag bag along with a pizza dinner. Students got to show their parents the Leadership Job board. Parents and students went on a safari hunt to learn each grade level goals and the WIGS for the year. We hope you all had a fun and informative evening!

Cherry Creek Elementary and Nebo School District participate in the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTSArts). BTSArts Specialist, Cherisa Jones, will be visiting our school for the next 4 weeks. She will be working with teachers and students, together finding ways to integrate movement and dance into the school day. Movement can be used to enrich the learning of everyday subjects like math, literacy, science, and social studies. Dance can also be a lot of fun and is a great way to build community.
Want to know more about the BTSArts program? Watch this 3 minute video.

Kindergarten wrapped up our first CKLA Knowledge unit with a fun and memorable event: the Nursery Rhyme Olympics! Students had a blast participating in themed activities inspired by classic nursery rhymes and fables, including the Tortoise and the Hare Race, Humpty Dumpty Balance Walk, Hickory Dickory Dock Dance, Jack Be Nimble Jump, and Mother Goose Storytime. It was a joyful celebration of learning, movement, and imagination! 💛

Mrs. Cherish Jones, the District BTS Arts specialist, has been working with the students at Cherry Creek. Fourth grade has been learning about how strong, specific “vital verbs” can make writing more interesting. For the activity, they co-created a short class story and used movement to help students feel the difference strong verbs make in a story. They began with regular verbs, then changed them into vital verbs.
Here is the story they made up, with the vital verbs in parentheses:
I was on the playground when I dropped my toy dinosaur under a bench.
I bent (contorted myself) under the bench to get my dinosaur.
I contorted so far that I ended up swinging (curling) under the bench.
I then froze (was paralyzed)......
[End in a cliffhanger].
