The Science Lab is now fundraising to start a Trout in the Classroom program! This is a conservation-oriented and environmental education program I’d like to develop with my young learners. We will raise trout from eggs in a tank here at Centennial, with the goal to release the trout into local water each spring. I’m envisioning a Release Day party where students, families, and community members (like you) can come together to celebrate the release of our trout into local waters. The Trout in the Classroom program will be a wonderful opportunity for our students to engage in community-based learning by learning how to care for local animals, appreciate water as a habitat and resource, and connect with ecosystems. Information will be added here as the program develops.

Dear Families,

Different people do different things and have different feelings. It’s so important that we have lots of different kinds of people in our community and that everyone feels safe. Another way to say that is diversity.

We are taking time to explore diversity and celebrate Black Lives Matter @ School during our Science lessons. Students learned about a diverse group of Black scientists and picked one to whom they felt connected.

Please keep exploring these scientists by reading books, watching films, and discussing together. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Wv2kQ4AJEEOyduMdd_YhtQkic875aooSGwW-Qx1JOP4/edit#slide=id.p

Welcome back to the Virtual Science Lab! We will be completing most of our work in SeeSaw while we are in remote learning. Please reach out with any comments or questions: michelle_morton@dpsk12.org.

Have fun exploring this website! There are so many great science adventures for you to enjoy!

Dear Centennial Scientists!

It's the last day of school! Wow. I experienced so much determination from you all this spring as we explored remote learning together. I hope you enjoyed the science activities and shared your learning with your family. I loved getting photos and videos from you as ornithologists learning about birds, hydrologists exploring water, and engineers trying out different challenges. Please explore the three links at the bottom of this page to enjoy more SCIENCE activities this SUMMER.

Please share your learning with me throughout the summer! by e-mail at michelle_morton@dpsk12.org or by text (720) 642-7120‬

All the best to you and yours!

Sincerely,

Miss Michelle

Dear Centennial Crew,

As I look back at these photos I'm reminded of all the incredible science adventures we've taken together this school year. I look forward to continuing our science journey in the future. In the meantime, please explore this website to find activities that you can enjoy with your family. There are remote learning options that connect to your expedition, nature activities for the whole family, and family resources to take your learning even further. Please click the Miss Michelle button to contact me with questions and anything else you'd like to see here on this site.

Be well and take care of each other.
