A Walk Through the Rain Forest

Before Spring Break, our class learned about the rain forest. We learned about the layers of the rain forest as well as the plants and animals that call it home. We graphed the temperature each day in Shelbyville and in the rain forest. Students learned why it was important to preserve the rain forests and then wrote a descriptive and persuasive paper to convince people to save them. 

To conclude our rain forest unit, students were paired up and assigned a rain forest animal. Each student had to research information and find pictures of the animal. When their research was complete, they had to write a research paper to share their knowledge.

Then the kiddos worked their tails off to make presentation boards about their animals and decorate our room to look like a rain forest. We were able to put on a great display we like to call A Walk Through the Rain Forest. Parents, teachers, and other students were invited to walk through our forest and learn about the interesting life that's in it!

I couldn't be more proud of my 2nd graders!
