Ants, Sloths and Monkeys

Service Description

Lesson Summary: This lesson is a highly-customizable, active, hands-on introduction to some of the most iconic rainforest animals. Students will learn about the biodiversity of rainforests, rainforest layers, and the habitat and diet needs of several animals with stuffed animal toys and a large storyboard. Then, students are invited to move like "their" animal in an animal parade! The lesson ends in a read-aloud and stamp craft, or an interactive felt storyboard written by Friends of the Rainforest founder Rachel Crandell. Ideal for students in Kindergarten - 1st grade Suggested pre-work: continents, biomes, explore photos or videos of tropical rainforests
