The first graders have recently been learning about
rainforests, so when I came across this lesson on
Mr. E's Blog, I just had to do it with my students. First, I taught the students how to draw trees. Then we filled the tree with lots of cool designs and patterns. After that, I had the students outline everything in black. Finally, we colored everything with oil pastels.

I just think these are the coolest!
These look so colourful when displayed together like this!
