In Hollywood, we listened to "The Rainforest Grew All Around," and Ms. Theresa made signs to go along with all of the animals and plants that went along with it. <strong>Audrey M. </strong>and <strong>Mattie Williams</strong> listened attentively to the tape and were able to hold up their tree sign at the correct time. <strong>Mikayla L. </strong>made a very unique star, which contained five things about her that makes her special. In computers, <strong>Noah B. </strong>and <strong>James K. </strong>were exceptional while teaching their monsters how to read.
