This week the Super Kids got to taste, smell, and feel products from the rainforest. Many of the students didn’t realize how many things they eat and use everyday come from the rainforest. We tried bananas, oranges, passion fruit, avocado, chocolate, and figs. We smelled pepper, lotions, and gum. They were so excited when they walked in from lunch recess and saw all the plates sitting at the tables! After the lesson, we discussed why our student teacher shared these products with us. The students made the connection to deforestation and the importance of saving the rainforests in the world. They were making personal connections to the issue.
We are busy becoming rainforest experts by studying a rainforest animal. The class has been using information books to find details about their animal. We have also been using the website pebble go for our project. The class is excited to make their own table of contents and glossary. The picture above show the kids hard at work.
Check out our very own kapok tree! Its a great place to cuddle with a book.
