On Friday, we had our Victory Assembly to recognize our Leaders of the Month, our Top Crocs and our Faculty Top Crocs. We also tracked progress for our Croc Claws and Reading Carnival Tickets. Because Cherry Creek Crocs hit their short term goal, today students were able to have a Hat Day and wear their favorite hats to school. Congratulations to all our Leaders of the Month and Top Crocs for November!
These two Crocs used some of their Croc Cash to take a picture with Crocky. What a fun way to spend your Croc Cash!
Mrs. Nielson’s 5th Grade class is on a roll! They took the Spirit Day trophy with 95% of students wearing RED or Cherry Creek School attire. Congratulations!
Students at Cherry Creek are rewarded Croc Cash for good behavior and good deeds. A couple of students saved up enough Croc Cash to buy Mrs. Darrington’s chair for a day. What a way to spend a day at school in comfort! Keep up the good work Crocs!
Today, we had one class win the Spirit Day Trophy. Mrs. Nielson’s 5th Grade class had all students wearing RED or Cherry Creek attire. Congratulations!
Don't forget: Tonight is Spirit Night at Zupas Cafe in Spanish Fork. Part of the sales goes to benefit Cherry Creek PTA. Remember to tell the cashier you are there to support Cherry Creek.
For Native American Heritage month, we had some dancers and a flute player share their talents and knowledge about their Native American background. One of our own Cherry Creek Crocs and another dancer, Patrick, shared the Men’s Fancy Dance Men's fancy dance which is flashy, colorful and highly energetic. It requires strength and stamina and is usually performed by younger men and boys. The drum can play a medium war beat, a ruffle, crow hop, and a fast beat. One of the other presenters played a tune on the Indian Flute. You can tell by the picture that some of the younger kids loved the performance.
Over the past few weeks, Kindergarten students have been learning about plants. We finished our unit by celebrating Johnny Appleseed. We had fun drawing Johnny Appleseed, tasting different types of apples, and voting for our favorite flavor of apple.

This year, Kindergarten is using a new science platform called Mystery Science. This resource helps us learn more about the world through hands-on lessons and experiments. Over the past few weeks, we have been learning about pushes and pulls and how they help us make every day tasks easier to complete.
Row 2 of the No Tardies Smarties got to spend some fun time in the Croc Cave with Mrs. Darrington.
Thanks to all the Crocs who donated cans of Chicken Broth for the Tabitha’s Way Food Drive. Mrs. Wigington’s 4th Grade class donated 208 cans and won a pizza party for donating the most cans. Cherry Creek collected a total of 850 cans to help out needy families this Thanksgiving! Way to think Win-Win Crocs!
