Lucky Leprechauns

Behold me Irish friends!
The leprechaun may have been tricky, but we still found the gold at the end of the rainbow!

Do you know the colors of the rainbow? We do now! Ask us to sing you our song. And, we reviewed mixing the primary colors to make the secondary colors in the rainbow.

We made an edible rainbow too!

Is that the best we can do you ask? No, of course not. We also practiced our math skills by making these magnetic rainbows. The person with the highest numbers on their rainbow stripes at the end, won!

For another math center we also counted the gold coins found at the end of a rainbow. Each pot had a number to help us know how many coins to add.

We matched our lowercase letters to our uppercase letters with these clover match ups.

We wrote our names, and then used our rainbow color changing markers to magically add more color!


These little leprechauns weren't afraid to get messy with this finger painting fun. Check out their creations.

And, you can't talk about rainbows without talking about what makes one. We used our rain water and water droppers to add raindrops under our clouds. Now, the sun and rain can make a rainbow!

Song: March
(Tune of Are You Sleeping)
It is March
It is March
Windy days
Kites at play
Leprechauns and shamrocks
 Eggs and baby chicks
Spring is here.
Spring is here.

Spelling words this week: pot and hat. Your children are really grasping the concept of blending. Do this at home by taking 3-letter words, write them down, have them tell you the sounds they make, and then help them blend the sounds together. Watch the magic happen!

Our stars of the week:
The Stunningly Sweet and silly Sarah
and
The Amazingly Awesome and Adorable Addison!

And, we'd like to wish a very Happy Birthday to the oh so kissable Kennadee!
