PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Community Visit for 1st Grade!

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on

On Friday, to culminate our unit on community helpers, the first graders got to spend some time listening to local firefighter Matt Johnson who volunteers for the Springville City Fire Department and works for the Salt Lake City Fire Department. He talked to the students about what he does as a firefighter in the community and how important it was for him to go to school to be able to become a firefighter. He also talked to them about fire safety, what to do in an emergency, and gave them coloring books to take home and talk about with their families!

Student Lighthouse Kickoff

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on
The Cherry Creek Student Lighthouse Kickoff was a huge success! Each teacher selected a student leader to be their lighthouse representative for their class. This year, 3rd through 6th grade lighthouse reps participated in a kickoff. Students were first tied together by their wrists and challenged to try to eat a root beer float. They had to get creative to find a way to work together. Next the group learned what was expected and the purpose of the lighthouse team. The students broke into 3 groups and rotated through break out sessions taught by Mrs. Gast, Mr. Duncan and Ms.

Community Helpers

Submitted by lyndsee.brice on
This week we learned about community helpers. The first picture is of 6 students in my class who dressed up as community helpers. The rest of the class had to guess who they were and describe why they are important in our community.There are 2 pictures of the Firefighter assembly we had.  We had fire fighter from Springville come in and talked to the entire first grade about his job and fire safety. One picture is a few students sorting words with the short "a" and "i" sounds. The last two weeks we have focused on both of those sounds.
