Learning during the holidays can be fun!  In First Grade, we celebrated Grinch Day.  The 1st Graders did grinch worksheets, did a directed drawing of the grinch, made a cup that looked like the grinch, and watched the new grinch and ate popcorn that was in our cups.   They also ate “grinch pills” (Christmas m&m’s) and green candy canes.

These students got to ring the office bell to celebrate!  Eben Lord, Darian Chavez, Beckham Baker, Jax Munger & Preston Anderson all attained their reading goals.  Faye Grace, Deli Gutierrez and Harper Anderson passed off their Kindergarten letter recognition goal.  Congratulations!  

Cherry Creek Crocs have learned that Covey Habit #6, Synergize, helps get things done!  The 5th Graders made the best of a snowy day to work together to build a snow fort!  They also put into practice Habit 2, Begin with the End in Mind and Habit 4, Think Win Win, to make things happen!  Great job!

Emmett Knight and Zane Lowe proved that the Impossible Shot is possible!  Since September, Mrs. Palmer has ben choosing 2 students who are showing good leadership in PE class to attempt to make the “Impossible Shot.”  Over 300 students have tried (314 to be exact).  The two students get 2 chances to throw a ball from a certain distance with the right angle and the right speed to land in a slim tube.   Emmett Knight, a 4th Grade student, was the first student to accomplish this feat on his first try.

This week, we had 4 classes showing their School Spirit! Mrs. Deardeuff’s 4th Grade Class, Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade Class, Mrs. Nielson’s. 5th Grade Class and Mrs. Zambrano’s 5th Grade Class had 100%. Congratulations!

More and more students are exchanging their hard earned Croc Cash for the Principal’s Chair!  Must be pretty comfy as 3 more students opted to buy Mrs. Darrington’s Chair for a Day!  

Cherry Creek students know how to make the most of a snowy day:  Students Synergize to build an igloo at recess.  Leadership principles at work!

This past week, we had 3 Spirit Day Winners!  Mrs. Hill’s 2nd Grade Class, Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade Class and Mrs. Nielson’s 5th Grade Class had 95% of their students Rockin the Red.  Way to show your school spirit!  Congratulations!

Our Lost & Found is growing!  Parents & Students, would you please take a look at our Lost & Found table at the entrance of the school when you come for SEP’s on Thursday?  Unclaimed items will be donated to charity over the weekend.

The winners of the Reflections Contest were announced at our Victory Assembly yesterday.  We had students enter in the Dance, Music, Literature and Photography categories.  A few were even recognized at the District Level.  Cherry Creek has talented students!  Congratulations!
