Forest Infomercials

What a wonderful day of learning in 4B! Students created their own group Forest Infomercials and uploaded them to youtube. We are sure that they will be instrumental in not only educating others about the benefits and value of forests around the world, but will persuade others to also take really good care of our-unless we do something- disappearing forests.
