|
*Hang vines (brown paper rolled up) all around your room with giant green paper leaves on them. Get a couple of stuffed or paper monkeys to hang around*Classroom Jobs: "Hopping in to help out!" With little frogs with | students names and leaves with jobs on them. *Classroom Events Timeline: Call it the "Swing of Things" and put a little monkey for the graphic. OR "Hopping Through the Year" with a little frog. *Student of the Week: "Look WHO's top student this week..." with a big owl; OR "Top Toucan" with a giant toucan to display *Word Wall: "Word Waterfall" Put up a large sheet of white paper | | coming down from your ceiling, draw/scribble or paint blue lines flowing down. and keep a pile of paper fish to write important words on. Glue them on throughout the year.*Classroom Management: Use these layers of the rainforest... · Forest Floor and Understory -- Margay · Understory -- Bat, Monkey · Understory and Canopy -- Opossums · Canopy -- Emerald Tree Boa, Harpy Eagle, Sloth Give each student a small animal and have every student start the day in the Canopy layer, they move their animal down a layer as they need to. *Classroom Reward Coupons: Call them "Rainforest Rewards!" and give them out for various good reasons. *Window Clings: Print out pictures of different rainforest animals to put all over the windows. Also, take a look at the pictures on this page. It shows the inside of some GREAT classrooms. It makes me want to have a rainforest theme. Maybe next year... http://www.ran.org/kids_action/kids_doing.html
