Mrs. Renz's 4th Grade Class JASON XV Rainforests at the Crossroads

Mrs. Renz's 4th Grade Class Redmond, Oregon

Mrs. Renz's Class LOVES the JASON Project!

2003-2004





The rainforest on Barro Colorado Island, Panama is now in our classroom. Students built this entire rainforest in one hour! Some of the creatures are stuffed animals, while others are color copies we found on the Internet. It's amazing what 30 pairs of hands and minds can do when they work together!

We are using the Scottish Storyline Method in our classroom with this year's JASON rainforest theme.

Look at the quilt squares other schools are mailing us for the quilt we will sew together
