Grade 5: Introduction to Zoo Service

Fifth graders met with three representatives from the Denver Zoo to learn more about the Grade 5 service project that starts in January. They will focus on animal conservation and how they can help protect endangered animals, those that are dying at a faster rate than they are reproducing as a result of human or environmental factors. Students will form small groups to engage in in-depth study of nine animals and will culminate their learning by staffing booths at a zoo event in the spring where they will educate zoo visitors about the animals. This week, they met Craig, a desert tortoise listed under the Endangered Species Act. For information: Kimm Lucas.
