Last week our 1st graders enjoyed learning all about spelling the sound "ar" with the help of Pirate Mark, a treasure hunt for "ar" words, and using our best pirate voices! Aaaargh!!

This week in Kindergarten, we had fun learning about the National Symbols. We love the beautiful White House, the awesome Liberty Bell, and even the majestic flag.

The Cherry Creek PTA sponsored a Valentine box decorating contest. Students Kindergarten through sixth grade participated. Since Monday the displayed creations have lined the halls with an awesome variety of containers (Valentine boxes). On Friday, the student council members judged for categories like most school spirit, most Disney, most girlie, most electronic, most boyish, best book style, most fantasy, most realistic, and best from a movie. Every child that displayed their decorated Valentine box were winners. They all received a coupon for a free admission to Spanish Fork 8 Theater.
