On the third day of Ranger training, a brisk morning gave way to a sunny, beautiful, late winter afternoon. The perfect day for the River Ranger interns from KIPP Denver Collegiate High School to practice their team teaching skills with the 5th graders of Southmoor Elementary. The River Rangers wasted no time putting their skills to the test. After a welcome to the park and introduction of the Educators and Rangers, groups were chosen and the activities began. Rotating through four stations, 5th graders learned about boating and water safety, the pollution challenges the South Platte River faces, students tested real-time health of the river through a serious of scientific experiments and they learned about the species our SPREE mascot belongs to, the beaver. Each one of our Rangers demonstrated confidence, intelligence and poise as they taught alongside our SPREE educators.
