Hello!
We have been having fun adding to our Kapok tree all week. We have been learning about the animals of the rainforest. 
This week, we will be making rainforest animals out of shapes and then writing a poem to go along with the animal. This project will be on our bulletin board so be sure to check it out if you come to the K wing!
