The Rainforest

We read a book on the Rainforest and wanted to make our own Rainforest poster.  At first, I sat all the children around the table so they could make their own, and then I realized, wow, what an impact it would be if they could make one huge Rainforest poster together. And that is just what we did!

Starting from the bottom, we must make the Rainforest floor so all the critters can hide.

Next, by adding our trees, we are creating the understory, the canopy and all the way up to the sky, we created the emergent layer.

Let's start adding the wildlife.  Oooh, I see some gorillas, some elephants and caimans (crocodiles).

 Here come the deadly snakes that are added to the floor and in the trees.

 Here you can see the red spotted tree frogs being made and added to the Rainforest.

Together the kids all work on the title as a group.  They are chatting about the Rainforest, laughing, being creative, listening to music and enjoying the afternoon. They have so much fun, they don't even realize this is a unit study on the Rainforest.  Teaching so learning is invisible is so much fun and not hard to do.

Now for the final unveiling:

Happy Learning everyone, PattyKakesKidz♥
