1st Impossible Shot of the Year

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].

Mini Society: One of the Most Fun End of Year Activities! The 5th Graders put on a Kids Market, where Cherry Creek Crocs can “spend” mini society bucks that they have earned through good behavior. Students enjoyed playing games, purchasing treats and homemade crafts and even playing video games. The 5th Graders have fun planning their mini society booth and the rest of Cherry Creek enjoyed the atmosphere of a fair.
