Colors of the Rainbow

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet!

We love the colors of the rainbow!

Each day was dedicated to a different color and the children wore the color of the day to school each day. We did different activities based on the colors. Here are a few activities below, and be sure to check out my unit plan!

After reading about rainbows, the kids filled out this page about you need in order to see a rainbow!

Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?

There are so many great color activities to tie into this book, and a bunch of them are included in my unit plan! Brown bear graphing, story retelling, color word book, and many more. This activity was a story sequencing book. After reading the book a few times I had the children recall what color each animal was and the order they appeared in the story. 

(The adorable clipart is from KMP Doodles!)

I found these cute cards on teachers pay teachers- for FREE!

It made a great center. We used letter beads to practice spelling color words. 

Oh how I love pinterest! 

I found this great idea on pinterest... for anyone who does not know about this website check it out!

They have so many wonderful ideas for teachers.. and so much more!

The kids LOVED this activity, it is the second week we are using it and there is still a line at our science center!

All you need is baking soda on a tray, pour cups of vinegar into a cup and add food coloring. Have the kids use eye droppers to squeeze the colored vinegar onto the tray. It makes a cool fizz and turns the baking soda rainbow. It is easy clean up and keeps the kids entertained. Give it a try!

Check out my unit on teachers pay teachers, over 70 pages of fun activities!

**More pictures to come this week :)

My Five Senses

This is such a fun unit! The kids always enjoy all of the activities.

I didn't have time to take many pictures from this unit because we did it during the first few weeks of school, but I will describe some of the activities. 

This is a sound jar activity. I gave each child a sheet and they had to cut out the pictures. Next, I shook each of the jars and they had to guess which items were inside. Then they had to circle whether they were correct or not. They had a lot of fun with this!

This is the cover of my unit available on teachers pay teachers. 

Other activities include: a taste test, feeling bags, sight game, and smelly jars. It also includes a journal page for each sense.
