Rockin’ Rainforest

Our rainforest unit was so interesting! We learned about the four layers of the rainforest and what kinds of things we would find in each layer.

The kids also made their own trees and added the details they would find in the rainforest.

They students did a LOT of writing about the rainforest. One of our writings was about our favorite animal in the rainforest. Another one was about all of the things we would see in the rainforest if we were there. The kids are continuing to do a great job writing full sentences and getting their thoughts down in their writing!

We took a day to make animals of the rainforest and put them all together in a rainforest mural! We had to make sure to put the animals in the correct layers in which they lived.
