Rainbow

First we started with showing swirling colors , talking about concept of how the colors in rainbow form . I took a bowl with milk , dish soap drop and food color and tooth pick . Ask what will happen , have them help adding 3 or 4 different colors ,swirly around see what happen . Add a drop of soap ask what will happy "separates" Like Rainbow when it disappears.

Then we made a cereal rainbow with some left over cereal i had . let them glue with q-tip and glue . I have many old glue bottle i need to use up so this method works great .

we also started charting the weather i think this week going to great week to chart , we going to have warm sun 50 , rain and even snow .

We listen to the story on line of R o y G b i v

http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-printables.html

I got these cute new colorful baskets .39 for weather weeks and Easter.
The number one you could not cut to match side you could just use for number order but my children are pretty good at this as we usually have one of these table games out . so many way to use depending on your ability .

I took a little break last few days , so i will be back tomorrow posting New Week on Rainbows

St Patty Days

Today first we start with green milk,green applesause and rainbow toast that darn Leprechaun.

The milk they thought was so magical . I add a few drop of green food color in cup and when i pour the white milk in it changes color . wow they loved it and of course blame it on the nauty Leprechaun.

Also see he chased all the snacks out of Brooklyn center and left a pot of gold candy coins. Maybe next year we will catch him .. HEHE

I made green cookies for snack and for lunch We are making potato soup .

We had a shamrock hunt ,counted lucky charms and made hats .

Happy St. Patty Day !

Lost Wednesday !

lost Wednesday . So today we did some counting match up shamrocks . Then they really don't understand what a Leprechaun looks like so over at http://www.makinglearningfun.com/

We did finish drawing the leprechaun ,some dot to dots again counting ,Then we took from making learning fun a template of leprechaun and decorated and then cut strips out for his beard. And rolled it to make a curly beard. Just wrap a pen around the cut strips .

We also read Ll four leprechaun and did a good luck search for the letters good luck !

A little of that and this today .

So no Leprechaun in our trap yet but he did take the fruit rainbow roll up . Now they put a snack in there . Maybe he will want to chance the snack out of Brooklyn center ,mn as he did in Ireland .What you think ?

Great giveaway over at what teachers want

Flag of Ireland

So first we started with a picture of the flag and look it up in one of our book . Then we looked at the globe where Ireland is . Then we had Ireland flag snack . I took a cracker added some cream cheese for the middle white , then slice carrots for the orange and a sliced grape on the green side. Then we color The Ireland flag . some got where color should go other explored. I got my flag pattern on google images when i was printing a picture of the flag.

Hehe don't laugh at my globe it has been fallen so many times and have to put together most days , So before we looked at Ireland i promise we had it together correct .
