Mike Myers is a teacher at Rose High School in Terre Haute. Last year, he
taught his students about the world's rainforests. They learned that rainforests are
important because the plants and animals of the rainforests give us food, wood and
medicine.
Destruction of the world's rainforests is a serious problem. Unfortunately,
rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project,
Myers' students bought three acres of a rainforest in Central America. They paid 25
per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not be
destroyed. The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a
closer look at a real rainforest.
So last June, Myers and four of his students flew to Costa Rica in Central
America, and took a boat ride down a river to see the rainforest. They saw alligators
and crocodiles. A guide took Myers and his students deep into the rainforest. "The
monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off
the trees and threw them at us, " one of the students said. "It was a great learning
experience for all of us, " said Myers.
Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the
plants, animals, food and culture. The more the students learn about, the more they
cherish the rainforests. During the last few days the group had time to do fun
activities. They went white water rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa
Rica's active volcano.
Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids. (262 words)
