Rainforest Experience

Help me give my students the rainforest experience! Students will be learning about the animals and plant life in the rainforest ecosystem. Hopefully, we will make rainforest dioramas!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hodges's classroom raised $308

This project is fully funded

My Project

During our rainforest week, we will learn about the variety of plants and animals that live in the rainforest. The decorations will allow our classroom to transform into our very own rainforest! The diorama boxes and plant/animal figurines will be used to make rainforest projects. Students need experience with independent research and presenting their work. If this project is fully funded, it will allow students to grow in both of these ways.

I appreciate everyone who supports schools, students, and teachers so much.

Teaching takes a village, and I am grateful for everyone who makes my students' learning experience exciting and enhanced.
