Then they color the understory and close by writing in their rainforest journal. Day 4 Activity Pass out folders. They identify the second layer from the top. Teacher reads about the canopy. The students stand when they know the animal.
Students draw and color animals and plants on worksheet.
Write in journal what they've learned this day. Later the same day the teacher reads about the emergent layer. We will color and draw the emergent layer animals and plants. Today we choose a plant from the chart the teacher has prepared the students to research, write about and make a mini-book in class, and then draw in art in the days following. This will be the beginning of our own rainforest in our room.
