The Rainforest

I am a teacher at North Aiken Elementary.  Our class is studying Rainforests.  We welcome you to join us.
Rainforests are tropical, evergreen, broad-leaved woodland which receive large amounts of rain and often have warm temperatures.  They are home to more animals and plants than any habitat on Earth.  Click on the pictures to learn more about the Rainforest.
