The PTA has organized some fun activities for Kindness Week.  We are excited to see how Kindness can change our friendships, families, school and community.  Teachers & staff are on the lookout for students showing random acts of kindness and will be handing out these notes and a reward!

This past week, we had a 3 Way Tie for Spirit Day!  Mrs. Hill’s 2nd Grade Class, Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade Class and Mrs. Nielson’s 5th Grade Class had 100% of their students Rockin the Red!  Way to show your school spirit!

Today was a special day at Cherry Creek:  Veteran’s Day Celebration.  Cherry Creek Students invited their favorite Veterans to visit and share their military experiences.  Some came to specific classes and some came to the assembly.  The students sang a song to honor and thank the Veterans.  There was a question and answer session and some of the students even modeled military attire.  The day ended with a Veteran Victory Lap to thank and honor these wonderful men.

Next week is Kindness Week.  Here’s a preview on things you can do to show kindness to others at home, school and in the community.  Can you cover the BINGO card?

Mrs. Jensen’s 1st grade Class loves to dress up!  They had fun dressing up for Halloween and for 50’s Day.  On the 50th day of school, they dressed up like kids in the 50’s would dress up and did fun activities with the number 50!

Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade class experimented with Sound using tuning forks, water, boomwhackers, canisters and rubber bands.  Science experiments are fun!

Cherry Creek has interesting ways to reward and recognize students good choices and good behavior.  One of the ways students are rewarded is by receiving/earning Croc Cash.  Recently, Brandon Low cashed in Croc Cash for the privilege of using Mrs. Darrington’s big, comfy chair for the day.  What are you saving your Croc Cash for?

This week Cherry Creek is lucky to welcome Mrs. Tautu, a new Kindergarten Teacher, and Mr. Poe, our new Head Custodian!  When you see them in the halls, give them a big Hello!

November is Native American Heritage Month.  Mrs. Shoshana Begay, from Nebo District American Indian Education, brought her family and friends to teach Cherry Creek Crocs about different aspects of the Native American heritage. We listened to a Navajo lullaby, watched a jingle dance and a basket dance.  We were taught about symbolism through a hoop dance and enjoyed the beautiful sounds of the Indian Flute.  One of our very own Cherry Creek Crocs, Nicholas Yazzie, shared his talents in the Feather Fancy Dance.
