They went through various challenges, such as puzzles, riddles, and word scrambles, that gave them clues to make it through each level of the "rainforest."  In arts and crafts, students created different origami animals and rainbow fish using striped paper.               During math, students had to escape the "zoo" using math clue posted around the room. Each clue was the name of an animal. They used to animal names to figure out the secret password that would allow them to escape from the "zoo."                                                               ...
