We took our last multiplication test and here are the Final 4 for each grade.  These students will be competing in a face off at our Math March Madness Assembly next Thursday.  Congratulations and Good Luck!

Just a reminder...there is no school tomorrow, Wednesday, March 22nd, for a Teacher Development Day.  See you back on Thursday, March 23rd.

The 5th grade students visited the Salt Lake City Capitol. They learned about the many symbols of Utah, fun facts of Utah, and the different branches of government. Representative Whyte asked the students questions about their visit to the capitol and then answered questions that the students had about his job. 

Mrs. Hill’s class tested their luck with homemade leprechaun traps! We were unable to catch the sneaky leprechaun, but he sure left us a fun mess to clean up this morning!

A Big Croc Thank You to our great PTA for running the Book Fair this week along with Lunch with Loved Ones!  Because of the generosity of the PTA, each student received a free book.  Thanks for helping Cherry Creek Crocs develop a love of reading!

For Read Across America week, the Librarian and the Art Teacher collaborated to create an "art meets literature" art show.  The 1st-3rd graders used a Laurel Burch art style to create their own "Pete the Cat."  Fifth graders drew their own families in the style of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and framed them with frames designed in a Faith Ringgold style. On your way to the book fair, walk down the 2nd grade hall and take a look at the art work.

We took another timed multiplication test and whittled our Sweet 16 down to the Elite 8!  Here’s the 8 fastest and most accurate students when it comes to knowing their multiplication facts.  Next week we will find our Final 4, who will compete head to head at an assembly scheduled for Thursday, March 30th to find the fastest and most accurate student in 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade.  Congratulations Crocs!

Just a Reminder:  The Book Fair is next week.  Here’s the schedule of events:

Friday is a P/C Comp Day, so there will be NO school. See you on Monday!

This morning we had a fun assembly at Cherry Creek!  Sambo Fogo, a drum group, came and shared their talents with us. They talked about the different types of Brazilian. They also showed types of dances that go with the different types of music. Some students were invited onto the stage to dance along to the drums. What a fun way to learn about drums and music!
