First we charted our favorite.

Our MASTERPIECE! Both classes had a part in finishing it. I love that it's the first thing I see when I get to my classroom every day. Little piece from each kiddo! :-)

The 3 year old class focused on name recognition. Then they placed the colors in order. There were LOTS of listening and following directions required.
The 4 year old class focused on writing their name.

Color & Shape Recognition
| This was a quick game we played. The students took turns listening to my directions and choosing the correct shape or color. They are learning so much! I'm SO proud! |  |
 | Another great book! |

Making Our Own Rainbow
I got the science nerd out of my system with this next activity.
You will need:
6 small clear cups
1 medium size clear container
water
food coloring
shaving cream
eye droppers
You will need:
6 small clear cups
1 medium size clear container
water
food coloring
shaving cream
eye droppers
Step 1: Put a small amount of water in each small cup. Add food coloring to make all 6 rainbow colors. (focus on mixing colors to make the necessary color)
Step 2: Fill the medium container 1/2 full with water.
Step 3: Put shaving cream on top of the water to resemble the clouds.
Step 4: Use the eye dropper to drip the BLUE mixture on top of the shaving cream. (This resembles rain. It will run through the "clouds".)

Step 5: Take turns dropping each color of the rainbow in the shaving cream. (I went in the order of the rainbow. It was a great recall for the students. I even let them take turns adding the colors. The colors will go through the "clouds" and fall from the "sky".)
The Sneaky Little Leprechaun
There was a leprechaun on the loose in our school today!
He left a big GREEN mess for us to clean up. Then he sent us on a hunt.
Luckily there was a sweet surprise at the end.

 |  The 4 year old class was very creative. They needed to take a "trap" and a rope with them to CATCH the leprechaun. |
After our hunt the 4 year old class wanted to write a letter to the leprechaun. They were worried he would come back and mess our classroom up.
These are THEIR words.
