Rainforest dioramas

Here are some photos of our rainforest dioramas from our last Magic tree house book. Each partnership worked on one layer of the rainforest. First, they made a sketch of a plan for what they would want their diorama to look like. Next, students used various craft materials to create the nature and scenery portion of their project. Some students even went from group to group to make sure that everyone had the same number of trees in their boxes, so that when the layers were all stacked together, the trees would carry through from box to box- it was quite elaborate! Lastly, students added clay animals to their scene.
