It was Election Day at the school for not only parents and registered voters, but for 5th and 6th grade students who had "registered". A handout was given to each student with both sides of the major issues reported from scholastic.com's website (without a candidate's name attached). The students took these home, discussed them with their parents, then had the form signed and returned. This became their voter registration. Thanks to Mrs.

Cherry Creek's annual Halloween parade and carnival were a smashing success. Ghoulish goblins, whirling witches, super heroes and more. The carnival featured games of all sorts, prizes to be won, decorated soda bottles and treats for all the little monsters. The highlight of the celebration for many was the spook alley hosted by the Springville High Drill Team under the direction of Ali Minor and Kelsey Clements. Some students came out well scared and others ran back for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th time through.

During the first few months of school, third grade students at Cherry Creek learned how to keyboard the right way!  We focused on using the correct fingers for each key, and using proper keyboarding position.  Now we know how to type all of the letters in home row position, and we're getting pretty fast at it!  

The 6th graders had the privilege to travel to Springville Junior High and watch their production of "Thoroughly Modern Millie". It was a beautiful day for walking, the play was very well done and the students thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you to SJHS and the Knights for inviting us to be audience members for this special production. 

Students at Cherry Creek Elementary received awards for October in the categories of Scholarship, Citizenship and Special Recognition. We are proud of our students and their hard work, effort, courage and kindness they show each day at Cherry Creek.

Last week Mrs. Bergera's kindergarten had so much fun learning about their 5 senses. Everyday they would explore the world around them with a different sense.  They saw different colors, smelled delicious fruit, listened for nursery rhymes, felt different textures in their classroom, and finish the unit by using their sense of taste to describe things that were sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. What a SMART group of kids we have at Cherry Creek Elementary!! 

We had Museum on the Move come to our classrooms. We participated in hands on learning about Utah animals and animal adaptations.

The second graders in Mrs. Averyt's class were able to explore shapes and make tangrams for their fast finishers. Ask a second grader what their favorite tangram was.

The sixth graders have begun Super Speed Math to become Super Improvers! Students, working as partners, review addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and fractions in a timed race against their own best score. Students verbally answer as many problems as they can while their partner carefully looks at each answer and gives them immediate feedback if they miss one. The correction is made and the student continues racing against the clock.
