Mariposa First Graders had an awesome ” in school field trip!” They learned about the rainforest and the many plants and animals that live there. The students even learned about all the foods and products they use at home that originate in the rainforest. If you’d ask our students their favorite part, their answers would vary. Some would say they loved using the animal puppets, others enjoyed hearing the story of The Great Kapok Tree, while adding their animal to the Velcro rainforest, but most students would say they loved touching the real rainforest snake. Damarion Gibbs and Allison Carpina are enjoying their animal puppets. Thanks to Tracy Boothby from Hobe Sound Nature Center for a wonderful hour of learning!
