Rainbows and St. Patrick's Day

A fun and colorful week! We always seem to get so much done in such a little time. We worked on letter and number review, had many fun experiments, and some wonderful crafts!

Thursday:
We are lucky for so much! I went around the room and asked each kiddo what was lucky in their life...
I got some of the sweetest responses!

Our lucky charms making 4 leaf clovers! These turned out super cute...and you can cherish them forever! 



Changing the color of the carnations...I learned something here! *Spoiler Alert:  I have always used white carnations...and of course the store was out...she told me yellow works just as well...NOT the case! 

But...we went ahead and made our predictions anyway!

What comes next...a fun way to explore patterns!

and use scissors!

Tasting the rainbow. Have you ever wondered why Skittles says, "Taste the Rainbow" when not all of the colors in the rainbow are in the skittles package?? Where is blue??

But the kiddos had fun...they sorted, they graphed, they counted! A perfect math day!



matching capital letters with lowercase letters...

Making rainbow noodle bracelets...every mamas dream jewelry!

And Mrs. Laura's dream fine motor skill! 



 Friday:
Making a rainbow with Fruit Loops...



Perfection!

Perfect order!

These turned out super duper cute! We water colored a rainbow...



Then added a pot of gold! I took my little guys home and framed it! Something super cute to put up each year!

Non of these leprechauns will get a pinch today! They all wore green...I was a little disappointed! :)

Thanks for the cute snack sweet gal!

My lucky charm!

Painting a shamrock with puffy paint. We learned that St. Patrick used the clover to tell people about the "Father, Son, and Holy spirit"

Sorting and graphing Lucky Charms...They are magically delicious! 


If we found a pot of gold...what would we buy with it!?



Our colors didn't turn out to well...Even this teacher learns something new each year! We talked about our results...and I promised that next year I would use white carnations and hunt each kiddo down to show them those results! 

Onto our next experiment...we are going to catch a rainbow.
We talked a lot about the 3 main colors that make the rainbow (red, yellow, and blue). These colors mix together and make all of the rest: red/yellow=orange
blue/yellow=green
red/blue= purple

We put milk in this pan...added the 3 colors, then put dish soap in the center. The soap caused the colors to swirl.



They then colored what they saw!

I love this theme! What a fun week to have right before spring break! Enjoy your time off...and I will see you back in 2 weeks for the Pond theme!
