Later, we read Slowly, Slowly,Slowly" said the Sloth by Eric Carle. One of my students checked it out from the media center today and was super excited. We made a classbook Rain Forest, Rain Forest What Do You See? Each child drew an animal with the rain forest as a background. They did an excellent job!  Here are a few:

 Cock of the Rock

 Howler Monkey

 Anaconda

 Harpy Eagle

 Ocelot

 Anteater

 Sloth

 tarantula

 Sun Bear

Toucan

Tomorrow, we will learn about the plants of the rain forest.
