Our class decided we wanted to raise money to set aside an area of the Daintree rainforest the same size as our classroom. Since we were learning about area we used our new math skills to determine the area of our room. (Length x width = Area) After we determined the number of square meters in our classroom we multiplied that number by the cost to set aside 1 square meter of the Daintree and arrived at the dollar amount of $405. Sam donated his change collection so we started with almost $100.
Our class decided to have a car wa sh. It was the Saturday before Easter, a cool and kind of rainy day, but it was a smashing success. We have included a few pictures.
Keep checking in to find out how much money we made and also to learn more about why we think the Daintree is important to preserve.
