Who keeps animals safe? Who keeps us safe? Discover the helpers that make learning and growing possible through a medley of activities that focus on habitats—ours and those in the rainforest. Scholars are asked to identify one helper who has made an impact in their life and draw a picture of this person. After listening to a variety of stories, learners compare and contrast their community with that of the rainforest, create a diorama of the two environments, and craft a story to go along with their diorama.
