Save the Rainforest!


Last year, in preschool, Jaymi did a rainforest presentation to her class. After learning (at home) all about the rainforest, who lives there, what is grown there, how to save it, why it is disappearing, etc., she wanted to tell her class all about it.
So this year, she wanted to tell her new kindergarten class about the rainforest. Today is her presentation day.
We learned all about things that we can do for the rainforest, like:
- eat less beef
- use recycled or reusable containers
- reuse paper - use both sides
- buy locally
- tell everyone about it
- donate to the save-an-acre fund

We found this great website with a fun kids' video, lots of printable activity sheets, and even a couple of kids' games like "Salmon Sally's Upstream Sprint".
The website is called http://www.rainforestheroes.com/ - check it out!
