This week in Kindergarten was a colorful and vibrant celebration of rainbows! Our classroom was transformed into a rainbow wonderland, with rainbow activities and materials that sparkled with all the colors of the rainbow.

At the science table, we died popcorn to use in our sensory table next week. We had a great time watching the popcorn over the day to see if it changed color. The students had great time shaking it and exploring it, a great little way to incorporate some science learning into your day. Helpful hint: use lids that seal properly if you are giving students the freedom to look and explore with it.

The literacy table featured Rainbow Bump, a game that combined literacy skills with a rainbow theme. The math table also had Rainbow Bump, providing a fun and engaging way for the children to practice their alphabet skills while exploring the colors of the rainbow.

One of the highlights of the week was planting the fairy garden with flowers. We are so excited to watch it grow over the coming weeks!

The sensory table was a big hit, filled with rainbow orb beads that shimmered and sparkled as the children played and explored. It was a wonderful sensory experience that engaged their senses and sparked their imagination.

We started the week with our usual introduction to the letter Q, brainstorming words that start with Q. This led to a fun and creative directed drawing of a quail for the letter q. The children showed great enthusiasm and creativity as they brought their quails to life on paper.

The week started with a “The world Made a Rainbow” read aloud. A great way to introduce the colors of the rainbow and to reinforce that rainstorms eventually come to an end.

Our rainbow week in Kindergarten continued to be a colorful and exciting adventure, filled with creativity and learning. We delved deeper into our Froggy books, exploring the elements of a story and learning about problems and resolutions.

We started to talk about how every story has a problem and a resolution, and we practiced putting a problem and resolution into our own stories. It was amazing to see the children’s creativity shine as they came up with their own storylines and solutions through story workshop.

On Wednesday, we had a blast making beautiful water color rainbows. This art activity was a fun exploration into different art mediums, and the children were thrilled to see the vibrant colors come to life on their paper. It was a great way to incorporate our rainbow theme into our art lesson and allow the children to express their creativity.

Throughout the week, the children continued to explore and play with all the rainbow-themed activities in our classroom. The color mixing station at the science table was a popular spot, as was the sensory table with its rainbow orb beads. The literacy and math tables with Rainbow Bump remained favorite activities, providing a fun and educational way for the children to practice their skills.

We also kicked off our Jump Rope for Heart this week with our first assembly and we are so excited to practice our skipping skills before our big event in May!

Overall, it was a week filled with creativity, learning, and fun. The children were fully engaged in all the activities and showed great enthusiasm for exploring the colors of the rainbow. I’m so proud of all their hard work and creativity, and I can’t wait to see what other adventures await us as we continue to explore and learn in Kindergarten!
