January 2023

2nd Graders also celebrated the 100th Day of School with different activities!  They counted out 100 fruit loops and then got to eat the cereal with milk.  Some students got to see how many jumps they could do in 100 seconds.  Mrs. Davis and Quinn McSweeney dressed up as centenarians.  What a fun day in 2nd grade!

The First Graders celebrated the 100th Day of school doing some fun activities!  They made a 100’s Hat, looked for 100 chocolate kisses, stacked 100 cups, found out how long 100 cubes measured, made a picture using 100 shapes and painted a picture using 100 dots.  Thanks to our 1st Grade Team for making the 100th Day of School so fun!

On Thursday and Friday, the 6th Graders were posed a problem:  How do you help a community lessen the effects of earthquakes and volcanoes?  Here’s pictures of their  thought process and solutions.

This past Friday, we had 3 Winners for Spirit Day!  Mrs. Golding’s 1st Grade Class, Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade Class and Mrs. Nielson’s 5th Grade Class had 100% of their students Rockin’ the Red.  Congratulations!  Thanks for showing your School Spirit!

Mrs. Frossard’s 4th Grade class is learning about Utah History.  Native American people that lived in the Utah area wove baskets to carry things in, such as plants.  Students in Mrs. Frossard’s class wove paper strips together to make baskets to help them understand how others carried & transported things.

Students in Mrs. Smallcomb’s music class used Boomwhackers to learn about Tempo and Pitch.  Mrs. Smallcomb finds unique ways to teach the basics of music.  She makes learning music fun and interesting!

Have dinner at Zupas in Spanish Fork tomorrow night from 4 p.m. to 9. p.m. and Cherry Creek PTA will earn up to 25% back.  Just tell the cashier you are supporting Cherry Creek's Spirit Night!

Today was the first day of Red Ribbon Week.  The PTA passed out mustaches, beards, goatees and eyebrows for those who participated in the lunch activity “Be a Media Detective.”  T.H.I.N.K.  Every day at lunch, the PTA will have an activity to get you to think about your media choices. Today, the focus was examining ads and images with the question, “Is it True?” What will the PTA do tomorrow?  

Have you noticed all the Cherry Creek Students being tutored in classes and in the halls on Tuesdays and Thursdays?   Thanks to the Latinos In Action from SJHS, our students are getting some extra help in reading and letter recognition.  From January-April, these wonderful students will be volunteering at Cherry Creek to help our students with Literacy Tutoring.  We are grateful for your service to the community and for your example of leadership to our Cherry Creek Students and Staff!  Some of these students are former Cherry Creek Crocs!
