Journey

To the

Tropical Rainforest!

In a couple of weeks we are going to be taking an imaginary journey to Brazil, where we will visit a beautiful place called the

TROPICAL RAINFOREST!

Be ready to discover all new plants and animals like you may have never even imagined! We must also prepare for a climate that is very different than our own.

Are you ready?

Let’s prepare!

What is your challenge?

PREPARE TO BE A TOUR GUIDE!

Together we will create a tour book about the plants and animals that we will see on our journey. You can each help by making two pages of our book.

These are your tasks:

1. Visit the websites listed below.

2. Choose one animal and one plant that you would like to know more about.

3. Search for more information about the plant and animal you have chosen.

4. On one of your pages, draw us a picture of the plant you have chosen and tell us three things you have learned about it.

5. On your other page, draw us a picture of the animal you have chosen and tell us three things you have learned about it.
