Rainbows

Today we welcomed one of our classmates back from his trip. We really wanted to include him in our Cat in the Hat poster! Check it out! (original Cat in the Hat blogpost)


St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner! Today we made rainbows to attract the sneaky leprechauns. Our rainbows helped us work on number recognition, number sequencing (both froward and backward), comparison vocabulary, fine motor control, following directions, color recognition, etc..

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the blog (under resource pages) to see the inspiration behind this project and how you can also make your own rainbow!














Educators:
For other grade levels you could turn this into a measuring activity. Students could measure starting with 12 inches and going down an inch at a time for each color.

  1. I am unable to view the Rainbow Construction information. I am sent to an "oops..." message! Any other way to view the directions?
    Thanks
