Annunciation students and families are blessed to have the support of many different community partners. Last week the Knights of Columbus, as part of their Coats for Kids Campaign, brought in new coats for all of our students!

8th Grade Chautauqua Park video


Two weeks ago, our 8th graders spent the day on retreat at Chautauqua Park in Boulder. They hiked, spent time reflecting, and also spent time having fun with their middle school teachers. We are blessed to have such a great group of young adults leading our school this year.

First Grade Releases their Butterflies!


Throughout the year, the first grade class has studied metamorphosis in many different ways. In particular, they have examined the changes of the ladybug and the caterpillar.

Recently, the first grade class was able to watch butterflies emerge from crystallized caterpillars. The students were in awe of the process, and loved seeing the new developments each day.

After two weeks, the first graders let the butterflies go. While they were sad to see them fly away, they were excited to have had them as part of their class!

Metamorphosis Up Close

 First grade has been reading about various animals that go through a metamorphosis, and now they are able to watch ladybugs go through the process- right in their very own classroom!  They ladybugs arrived as microscopic larva, then became pupa, and now are adult ladybugs. The first graders are meeting curriculum objectives in both Life Science and Language Arts, by writing about the process in their journals.
The students love the new additions to the classroom!
