Rainforest Fun and... A FREEBIE! :0)

I am so behind on bloggingPLEASE FORGIVE ME! Settle in for lots of pics and some new ideas!

We have been hard at work in the rainforest!  We have been journaling in our Jungle Journals





Working on learning lots of rainforest vocabulary



Making projects and doing lots of writing too
We write in our Jungle Journals daily but we LOVE it when our students write in their daily journals about the theme we are learning about! Justice did an AWESOME JOB! J


This is our Rainforest “Fact Chain” Project. Students choose 10 rainforest words from our thematic word wall, use the word in a fact-based sentence and do a mini illustration. We do these for thematic projects and will regular word wall words!




Patterns for all of these plus my jaguar and sloth are included in my rainforest unit! Visit my Tpt store to purchase!

On Friday, we got together with Our Smart Community and worked in small groups ((SYNERGIZED)) to make rainforest posters including all the layers and many animals we have learned about during our unit! It was a fun and exciting project!

Jungle Fever!

SWINGING INTO THE RAINFOREST!

OHMYWORD! Our students are SUPER excited about our new unit and I must admit, so are we! J I LOVE our Rainforest unit and that our classrooms transform into a jungle of fun! This is a unit we do every other year so we have lots of time to look forward to it!

Kelly and I love tropical decor so our rooms start out with palm trees and jungle leaves from the beginning but the added vines bring all kinds of magic to our learning environments! The kids light up instantly when they see our rooms decked out! SO FUN!!! I have a CRAZY (with a capital C) next couple of weeks but I will do my best to keep you posted on what we are doing in kindergarten!

J It is a jungle out there I am so lucky to teach with my best friend everyday!

I “finished” my rainforest unit on Friday night and have already added to it It is my FAVORITE so far!
