Today’s glow party was a hit! Thank you to the PTA for organizing this event to celebrate our successful Disney Raffle fundraiser. #WEareLakota Cherokee Elementary @FugateDave Danielle Collins

5th graders had an amazing time at the glow party today! Thanks PTA!! #cheetahpride

Thank you BrainPOP for making a video that accurately depicts Thanksgiving! Students were surprised to learn that “Pilgrims” did not wear buckles on their clothes, deer was served at the harvest meal, not turkey, and Abraham Lincoln created the Thanksgiving narrative.

Join our staff as we enjoy 12 days of jeans and spirit days starting tomorrow! 👖 🐠 🏝️ 🌸 Here are the first 7 days!! Wear tropical wear tomorrow! #cheetahpride #WEareLakota

Walked into the teachers lounge to an amazing surprise!! #cheetahpride #12daysbeforebreak

Students from all 5th grade classes did a gallery walk to view zoo projects today! It was so great to see everyone’s creativity come through in their models! #cheetahpride

Students got to learn from their peers’ zoo projects this morning. When 8 classes of 5th graders are given the freedom to move from room to room and chaos doesn’t ensue (and 3 days before break), that’s the definition of engagement. #WEareLakota

Yesterdays, to introduce our new argumentative text unit, students did a gallery walk! They analyzed ads and petitions to identify their claims and evidence. #cheetahpride #WEareLakota
