Me and My Lucky Charms!

We had a fun week exploring St. Patrick's Day and rainbows. We learned about the biblical meaning of a 3 leaf clover and we made wishes upon 4 leaf clovers. We did lots of fun science activities and worked on the numbers 3, 4, and 6.

Thursday:
My sweet little leprechauns wearing matching green outfits!!

Gumby and his final adventure this year!

Leo whisked away Gumby until next year! 

Pokey's final adventures!

After learning about clovers and reading a fun leprechaun poem...we made puffy paint clovers!
This recipe of paint includes equal parts of: green paint, shaving cream, and glue!



Nothing like watching these sweet kiddos play, "ring around the rosies!"

A lucky snack!

Thanks sweet girl for bringing all these "green" foods!

Skittles and Math
I handed the kiddos skittles...and they sorted and graphed.
This is a great activity to ask problem solving questions! These questions include: How many, Which has the most, Which has the least. Simple adding problems are great for this age group too! 

Friends! I love when they help one another! Another great part of this activity is...these kiddos did this entirely on their own! Graphing and sorting at the age of 3...just plain amazing!

Of course I sent the Skittles and graph home to you so the kiddos could show you their amazing work! It is so important to connect home and school!
If I found a pot of gold...I would ________



Seriously...flowers for mom! Love...Love this response!
So sweet!


Science Time...

Every color of the rainbow...and some white carnations!

We predicted what would happen...and why we thought it would happen.
Response: The flowers will drink the water and turn colors...because they are thirsty! :)

I split one flower's stem and placed it into 2 colors of water.
*The more food coloring you have the brighter the flower will turn. My blue and purple didn't have as much coloring in it...and it showed when the flowers turned.
*This was a great time to talk about how we mix colors to make other colors!

 Friday:
OUr next day results! The kiddos were so excited!

checking the flowers out as a class. We checked our predictions!
Rainbow Noodles...

At home I made these awesome colored noodles.
Recipe: Noodles, 1 tsp of rubbing alcohol, and 6-8 drops of food coloring (the more food coloring the brighter the colors). 


Time for some fine motor fun! Stringing those noodles in the order of our rainbow!



Friendship bracelets!

At the end of the rainbow is a pot of gold...


Great job pretty lady!

Rainbows of ourselves.
This included the color of: hair, eyes, shirt, shoes, and our favorite color.
*Great grip on that crayon!

Fruit Loop rainbows. Another awesome activity. This activity includes: sorting, fine motor (pinch and grab), and ordering...It can even be carried over to counting each color.

Let's catch a rainbow in a dish.
Recipe: 1 cup of milk, primary food coloring colors (red, yellow, blue), and dish soap.

In this activity I placed the milk in the dish, added 4 drops of each food coloring. We then made predictions on what would happen. This was another great time to talk about mixing of colors to make other colors. I was able to connect the activity from the coloring of flowers yesterday to this activity today.

When you drop several drops of dish soap in the center of the dish is forces the colors to mix.

We talked about the mixing colors. I then had the kiddos "write down" the results of what happened.



Perfect work sweet buddy!
What a colorful week! We had a blast as always! Easter next week!
