This week is all about the letter R and Rainbows. On Monday, we made a rainbow out of hand prints for the bulletin board in the hall.
On Tuesday, we learned which colors make up the rainbow and that the order of the colors spells out ROY G BIV. We also made a rainbow in the classroom using an overhead projector, and a bowl of water.
Our centers included coloring a rainbow in the correct color order. The students did great! Another center involved coloring the letter Rr with markers using rainbow colors, cutting out the Rr, and then gluing to a blue sheet of paper.
After our centers on Tuesday, the students helped me make rainbow colored rice to use as a sensory center on Thursday. We took turns pouring rice into a bag, putting a few drops of food coloring in, and then shaking the bag of rice to mix the color. Some students shook the bag of rice gently while others shook the bag vigorously. Either way, our rainbow rice colors turned out beautiful!
