Rainbow spin art






















First i showed the children my 6 part circle colored . I then took a sharp pencil and spin the circle and see what you see colors disappear and you see more white . The colors disappear.so instead of 6 colors you see while . this is the reverse of what happens when rainbow is from light . It separated the colors .Then after i explained like when a rainbow disappears when some light hit it . We did spin art i put 6 color markers together for this and all got a round and i turn on spinier .

We read Clifford scholastic Oh, The colors of Spring
It is raining here and prefect song for today is
I'm a little rain cloud
I'm a rain cloud in the sky
I Pick up moisture as i float by
When i get full i can't hold no more
I open up and let it pour .

Yesterday afternoon we did the dubber rainbows also . I can tell you where to get my spinner i pick up years and years ago at like a surplus store i think maybe was like a pottery wheel for children .
AM just loving all the color talk new words Violet and indigo . They where even talking about what colors make what colors this morning at table . Can wait tomorrow we going to do some color mixing .

  1. We love to make rainbows, almost everyday someone uses those do-a-dots to make a rainbow! Yours look lovely. I love your weather observation sheet, where did you get it. We would love to use it to record our observations each day. Take care!!!
