1st Graders have been studying about Shadows. They learned about how shadows move. On Friday, they got to go outside and use the sunshine to create shadows with their bodies and traced the outline of their shadows. Science is fun!

Thank you parents and students for attending Leadership Night on Monday. We were illuminated in so many ways: Glow in the Dark Art Gallery, Glow in the Dark Games and Glow in the Dark Literacy and Math activities. Thanks to the PTA and sponsors, every Croc got a Cherry Creek Shirt. Each family got a game swag bag along with a pizza dinner. Students got to show their parents the Leadership Job board. Parents and students went on a safari hunt to learn each grade level goals and the WIGS for the year. We hope you all had a fun and informative evening!

Cherry Creek Elementary and Nebo School District participate in the Beverly Taylor Sorenson Arts Learning Program (BTSArts). BTSArts Specialist, Cherisa Jones, will be visiting our school for the next 4 weeks. She will be working with teachers and students, together finding ways to integrate movement and dance into the school day. Movement can be used to enrich the learning of everyday subjects like math, literacy, science, and social studies. Dance can also be a lot of fun and is a great way to build community.
Want to know more about the BTSArts program? Watch this 3 minute video.

Mrs. Cherish Jones, the District BTS Arts specialist, has been working with the students at Cherry Creek. Fourth grade has been learning about how strong, specific “vital verbs” can make writing more interesting. For the activity, they co-created a short class story and used movement to help students feel the difference strong verbs make in a story. They began with regular verbs, then changed them into vital verbs.
Here is the story they made up, with the vital verbs in parentheses:
I was on the playground when I dropped my toy dinosaur under a bench.
I bent (contorted myself) under the bench to get my dinosaur.
I contorted so far that I ended up swinging (curling) under the bench.
I then froze (was paralyzed)......
[End in a cliffhanger].
