End of the unit reflection

Because there are so many unique and interesting animals found in the Amazon Rainforest, it gives students a great chance to research and become an expert on specific animal. Students first learn about some of the other types of animals found in the rainforest and then research their assigned rainforest animal. Then they present the information to the class like an expert does during a workshop. It’s up to the teacher whether to have the students create a rainforest mural, poster, power point as their visual aid. 

The full-color mini-book highlights:
Poison Dart Frogs 
Three Toed Sloths 
Pouncing Jaguars 
Amazing Animals of the Rainforest Unit!
