4th Graders:
4th graders in Mrs. Cutten's class read "Afternoon on the
Amazon." They then supplied information from the text to show
how amazing the Amazon rainforest is.
Jack and Annie found out that they landed on the 150 feet canopy
tree that was really high. Then they went through the rain forest.
They spotted millions of flesh-eating army ants that can eat people’s
skin and big leaves. When Jack and Annie went farther in the rain
forest, they spotted piranhas biting leaves off a branch and jumping
up and down in a big river. Also they found that the Amazon was
4,000 miles long. Then they saw a canoe that took them to the other
side of the rain forest. They found a vine but it was really a snake.

They were surprised when Jack and Annie’s tree house fell
on the top of the canopy. The monkey that threw mangoes also helped
them get ashore. Annie saw fish but when she saw the fish’s
teeth, she did not like it. She also didn’t like the army ants
there.

The Amazon River is 4,000 miles long. Vampire bats suck blood.
The monkey was throwing mangoes. The piranha had razor sharp teeth.
Millions of flesh-eating army ants were there. There was a snake
that looked like a hanging vine. They landed on a canopy 150 feet
above the ground. They saw a jaguar who is the biggest predator.
That’s what is amazing.

They thought it was cool being 150 feet above ground. There were
millions of flesh eating army ants. They saw piranha with razor
sharp teeth. There were snakes that looked like hanging vines. They
saw the Amazon River that was 4,000 miles long. They did not like
the vampire bats because they suck your blood.

The Amazon rain forest river is 4,000 miles. The canopy is 150
feet above ground. Jack saw millions of army ants. Jack read the
book and it said vampire bats come out at night. Jack saw a snake
first. The snake was camouflaged and then the snake popped out.
