this is what I did....

Clip to ScrapBook   
One year I did this theme in my 3rd grade classroom. I made a huge tree at the entrance of our classroom. THe trunk of the tree was the entrance into our jungle. My door was covered with brown paper and I decorated the tree
with crumpled green tissue paper and green leaf cut-outs. I also placed a few pictures of animals that would live in the tree (monkey's, birds, etc.) in the leafy area. Inside my room I bought rainforest themed fabric from Walmart to use on the bulletin boards (ferns, vines and frogs were some of the fabrics I used). This was a great investment because the fabric didn't fade and I
can reuse it again. I also bought green and brown party streamers and I twisted them and pinned them up to the ceiling to look like vines and branches. I also hung huge colorful butterflies that I found at the dollar store from the ceiling. Hope this helps!
