We have been learning and singing about the rain forest. Today each preschooler shared a fact they knew about the rain forest. They knew a great variety of animals in the rain forest and all the layers too.
Here is our rainforest song:
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers
Forest floor, understory, Canopy, emergent layer.
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers.
The emergent's home to birds, and butterflies.
Butterflies!
The emergent's home to birds and butterflies.
Butterflies!
The trees are so high that they almost touch the sky.
The emergent's home to birds and butterflies.
Butterflies!
The canopy is like a big umbrella.
Big umbrella!
The canopy is like a big umbrella.
Big umbrella!
Monkeys, sloths, orangutans, eat all the fruit they can.
The canopy is like a big umbrella.
Big umbrella!
The understory's home to many snakes.
Many snakes!
The understory's home to many snakes.
Many snakes!
They eat cats and bats and rats,
And they like the gnats for snacks.
The understory's home to many snakes.
Many snakes!
The forest floor is dim and dark and wet.
Dark and wet!
The forest floor is dim and dark and wet.
Dark and wet!
Oh, the ants go marching by,
As they watch the birds up high.
The forest floor is dim and dark and wet.
Dark and wet!
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers
Forest floor, understory, Canopy, emergent layer.
There are 4 layers in the rain forest, 4 layers.

We focused on the canopy layer today. We made monkey masks and colored canopy animals to add to our class mural.
Our letter of the day was Qq. We started a quilt with a picture the children drew and a handprint.
We listened to the song/video clip (under my youtube page under favorites) "I can write my numbers." All the preschoolers impressed me with writing their numbers 0-9. To follow up on this, we played "what number am !?"
We read the story, "The Great Kapok Tree" by Lynn Cherry. Students were also excited to see our very own version of the great Kapok tree in our preschool circle time area. Hanging are clouds from our bonus craft day and the coffee filter buterflies we made when learning about the emergent layer last week. This is such a fun theme!!!
