We recently finished our study of the rainforest. The students learned about the layers of the rainforest-forest floor, canopy, understory, and the emergent layer. They also learned about the different animals that live in each layer.We ended our study by engaging in a problem based learning activity where the students worked in groups to create a rainforest habitat for the North Carolina Zoo. The students did an excellent job working together to create models of the rainforest. I would like the students to reflect on their study of the rainforest and post a comment sharing something that they learned about the rainforest! Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I enjoyed reading what the class learned about the rainforest!
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed observing the PBL process for the first time. I love how the students had the freedom to be creative in how they made their model of the rainforest. Way to go first graders!
