Grade three students have been learning about rainforests, both temperate and tropical. Of course, those of us who live in Vancouver, know what it is like to be in a temperate rainforest. However, not many of us have experienced the tropical rainforest yet. Well, we are lucky to have a student in our class currently in Mexico who visited a tropical rainforest in Nayarit, Mexico.
These are some photos that Mikel has forwarded to share with us. In one of the photos you see a lake that was formed in a crater of a volcano. The water is warm. Mikel found the trip fascinating and was able to point out some of the plants and ferns he had learned about in his study of the tropical rainforest module. The second photo shows the tops of homes overlooking the tropical rainforest. On the other side the homes of floor to ceiling windows with a breath-taking view of the rainforest.
