we started the project by watching "the jungle book" eating popcorn. The kids earned their popcorn party because they used their english a lot in class.
We took a look at a map and a globe to see how far the jungles are from our town. We also checked some interesting places on the map such as countries some kids or their parents come from, places they have been in Spain...
we played and explored the different materials the kids brought and talk about lots of animals.
We started by saying things we know about the jungle and its animals:
one of the kids brought a snake and we checked if it was longer or shorter than the one Sara lend us.

After watching the jungle book we were very curious about why kaa was "hugging Mowgli"
so we learned that boa constrictors strangle their preys and then eat them whole.
We are so impress that now we "hug" all our our stuffed animals:
