The sixth graders are learning about integers and absolute values. They played a game called Absolute Value War where they had positive and negative numbers. Both students turned over a card and made a statement about what the number was and it's absolute value. The number with the lowest absolute value (number closest to zero) won. Students really enjoyed playing the game and improving their knowledge of integers.

Congratulations to all our November award recipients!  (My apologies for the late addition to the website.)

Cherry Creek third graders spent much of the month of November learning about our bodies and how to keep them healthy.  We even got to go on a field trip to Allen's grocery store.  At Allen's we learned about the importance of eating a variety of fruits and vegetables in order to get all of the different vitamins our body needs.  We also learned that fresh produce is the best way to get our fruits and vegetables, and we know how to make the best choices when drinking juice and eating canned fruits and vegetables.
