Adams Mystery Playhouse

A fun way to incorporate our love of literacy in the classroom and see it come to life on stage. Students get to participate in their very own interactive mystery written just for kids! Students get special time on stage, reading clues, and becoming deputy detectives. Adams Mystery Playhouse provides a performance that is fun and interactive where students learn to work as a team while using logic, imagination, creativity, and critical thinking!

Denver Botanic Gardens

Off to the Botanic Gardens to help our students grow their Science skills, plant knowledge, and appreciation for the natural world. This program emphasizes student-led discovery through a variety of hands-on activities and guided explorations.

Eco-Adventures: Plant Play

Ranger Pam comes to visit! This in school field trip experience corresponds to our Science Survival, Organisms, and Environment unit in addition to our literacy curriculum on plant needs for survival. Ranger Pam creates a giant plant replica that lets students actively learn all the basic parts and functions of plants from roots to leaves. Students learn to move water up a giant root system and become a stem reaching for sunlight. Flower parts come to life as students transform into bees and crawl through giant flowers as pollinators seeking nectar and pollen.

Eco-Adventures: Brewing Up a Storm

Ranger Pam strikes again with this interactive in school field trip! This engaging presentation corresponds to our literacy curriculum on how weather effects us. Students will experiment with the components of weather to explore the cause and effect of meteorological changes in Colorado. Students will investigate pressure, temperature, air movement, and precipitation. They will have a chance to brew up a thunderstorm complete with hailstones, lightning, and thunder. Students will create a tornado and microburst to understand the differences between these common Colorado phenomena.
