Rainbows and St. Patrick's Day

We had fun working on two different themes this week!  We talked about rainbows and St. Patrick's Day, so we got to do some fun and messy activities. :)  Hope you enjoy the pics from the week and hope all of you enjoy your Spring Break!  See you in 2 weeks!


Arrabelle was able to share about her fun activities with Gumby this week.



Karen was kind enough and patient enough to do a messy rainbow smearing activity with shaving cream and paint.  They were fun to make, but it was super messy!



Look at this new trick that helps with pencil grip!  A simple rubberband can be used to attach to the wrist and the pencil/marker, and suddenly it's much easier to write.  So grateful for a parent who showed me this cool trick they've been using at home.  So cool!

We played a rainbow dice game with Fruit Loops this week.  They rolled a dice, then placed that number of Fruit Loops on the colorful stripes.  This was a great activity for counting, color matching, and fine motor skills, and not to mention tasty too!



Mrs. Stacy helped us paint our rainbows using all the right colors.

We also decorated shamrocks and talked about why we're lucky.

This is the view of these crazy kids waiting for the experiment...patiently waiting. ;)

We took Skittles and hot water and watched them melt into a rainbow wheel of colors.  (Sorry, I didn't get a final picture.)  Nevertheless, we talked about how this related to our prayers that all go straight to God.  

We had some super cute St. Patrick's Day attire!




We borrowed the Marble Run from the room next door and tried to build a path for a little marble to travel down.

We used laminated letter playdough mats to trace our letters using playdough.


Say cheese!


Somebody found a new cozy seat. :)


Fun times in the MIM room this week.  We also used the parachute as well, but it was a little tricky to take pictures of that at the same time I was moving it! :)


Hope all of you enjoy your Spring Break!
