This week, Mrs. Ranney's class is reading The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.
The story takes place in the rain forest of the Amazon.
Throughout the story, rain forest animals try to persuade a logger to leave the kapok tree alone.
Because the setting of the story is the rain forest,
we have been reading and researching about plants and animals of that habitat.
we have been reading and researching about plants and animals of that habitat.
We all looked our animals up in classroom dictionaries, animal atlases, or library books.
 |
| Our dictionaries had great facts and pictures. |
 |
| We are working on illustrations as well! |
Another great way to research rain forest animals is in the online encyclopedia that the PFC purchased.
For your comment on this post, research a rain forest animal or plant using the World Book Encyclopedia. Write a comment as if you are that animal or plant! Be sure to include facts you learned from the online encyclopedia. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE! (Use your own words!)

It will be exciting to learn about an animal from that animal!
Be sure to read the sample comments left by
Mrs. Ranney and Peggy, the Penguin!(Be sure to use html code around your facts, so they will be in bold print!)
