3/13 Classroom Update

This week, we learned about colors and the rainbow in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day next week! We learned why rainbows occur and made a rainbow in our classroom using a flashlight and prism. We also worked together to make a liquid rainbow where different colored liquids floated on top of each other to make a rainbow. We learned how red, blue, and yellow are primary colors, and we experimented with mixing them to create new colors. Here are some picture highlights from our week in preschool:

Fun playing and building with letter/number robots!

Building patterns with rainbow skittles!

Playing St. Patrick's Day Bingo!

We searched for gold coins in rainbow rice and matched the uppercase letters on the gold coins to their lowercase letters!

We read The Rainbow Fish and created our own rainbow fish!
