Young Engineers
After studying the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct in France, Mrs. Habicht's third grade class used tubing, plumber's tape, cardboard, containers and various items from home to construct aqueducts that could transport water from a water source to the city of Nimes, 31 miles away. Well done to all of our young engineers!

Science & STEM Team
The Science and STEM team has been working diligently to create a program like no other. Students are able to integrate their knowledge from other subjects into their study of science to bring their learning full-circle. This quarter, kindergarten students dissected owl pellets to enhance their reading of Owl Moon and first-grade students developed invisible ink similar to those used during the American Revolution. While studying siege warfare in Ancient Egypt, second-grade students built a siege tower to protect assailants. Third-grade students constructed aqueducts as they learned about Roman architecture. A team of fourth and fifth-grade students will compete in a Lego robotic challenge against other Colorado…

Third Grade Science
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you started digging a hole in the ground and kept digging until you reached the center of the Earth? The third grade demonstrated their knowledge of the layers of the earth by constructing clay models. Red is the inner core believed to be solid nickel and iron. Orange is the outer core, which is liquid metal and makes the earth magnetic. Yellow represents the mantle which is made of "plastic rock" and has the properties of both a liquid or a solid depending on the amount of pressure placed upon it. The final brown…

Shakespeare Performance
Shakespeare's works present us with an image of flawed, yet glorious, humanity. His characters face the full measure of consequences for their actions, and he continually reminds us of the dual threads of judgment and grace in our lives. Click here for "The Merchant of Venice" performance.

Our youngest visited the Littleton Museum
Our youngest Arma Dei students visited the Littleton Museum for their first quarter field trip and entered the world of an 1860's Littleton homestead farm. They saw farmers planting crops, a blacksmith hard at work, and sat in the City of Littleton's first one-room schoolhouse.
