Crocs and Parents There are lots of great programs and events coming up over at the Springville Museum of Art for our local youth! Mark your calendars to participate in some fun activities!

Mr. Paul Brewer mixed magic and science to make learning fun during Friday’s STEM assembly. Some of our Crocs had a hand in helping create the magic while learning about transporting a bunny through a cannon across the stage, optical illusions that expanded and contracted the size of heads and synergizing to rely on each other for balance and support. After the assembly, many students were inspired to learn magic tricks and learn more about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

This morning, the 2nd graders took a field trip to Cornbellys! We learned about corn and farming and had some fun!

Mrs. Golding’s 1st Grade class takes the Spirit Day trophy again this week. Congratulations! Whoa…that’s not Mrs. Golding! But the teacher is wearing a Cherry Creek shirt? It’s Mrs. Hill…Mrs. Hill used to teach at Cherry Creek, but now has her own preschool. It was a surprise to see her as a sub for Mrs. Golding. We miss you Mrs. Hill! Come back again soon!

Parents and Crocs:
Don't forget SEP's and the Book Fair are today from 3:30 to 8 p.m.

This week, Ms. Beeson’s 2nd grade class did some engineering to solve how to stop erosion. They experimented with different materials to find what would help support the structures. Science experiments are fun!

On Friday, Cherry Creek participated in a state wide Read-a-thon that was sanctioned by Governor Cox. “ When we invest in reading, we invest in Utah’s future. This read-a-thon is a fantastic way to bring Utah families, schools, and neighborhoods together around the joy of a good book. By instilling a love of reading in Utah’s students, we inspire lifelong learning and help unlock their incredible potential,” Lt. Gov. Henderson said. The Read-a-Thon is part of Utah Reads, a statewide effort to help children build strong reading skills and encourage Utahns of all ages to make reading a habit. Ms. Beeson’s 2nd Grade class had a great time reading their favorite books.

To finish our unit on The Human Body, we donned our white coats and stethoscopes and did some Operating Room centers. We played Operation, sorted food into food groups, played germ memory, did band-aid math, and put  together body system puzzles!

Last week 1st grade went out and traced our shadows as an activity for our patterns of the sun unit. What a fun thing to do in this beautiful sunny, fall weather. Science is fun!
