Events/Field Trips

Denver Zoo

To go along with our science unit, "Are you my mother?", we will visit the Denver Zoo in the fall. We will learn that living organisms have offspring who are very much, but not exactly like their parents. Students will observe physical traits of various animal groups.

Theater Production

In the winter, first grade attends a theater production at either The Arvada Center or The Boulder Dinner Theater. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience live theater. This field trip is connected to literacy. We compare/contrast the book to the production.

Denver Museum of Nature and Science

In the spring our first graders travel to The Denver Museum of Nature and Science. As a fun, culminating activity we observe the animal exhibits, gems and minerals, and the Prehistoric Journey. Students love tying their year-long science learning together in a fun, hands-on experience.
