Specials:
We will begin our study of the rainforest on March 6. The children will learn about the layers of the rainforest and some of the animals that live in each layer. We will turn our room into a rainforest with “trees” hanging from the ceiling, snakes, bromeliads, and vines. The children are invited to bring rainforest animals to hang from the ceiling like stuffed monkeys, birds, insects, snakes, or any rainforest animal we could borrow to add to our room! Please do not send in animals that your child uses at night to sleep with, as these animals will need to “sleep over” at school for a few weeks!
