St. Patrick's Day Fun

To celebrate St Patrick's day we read St Patricks books and started our literacy making rainbow books. I gave each boy a sheet of stickers and they put each color on the right page, with rainbows on the last.

They loved this activity and was proud of their work in the end.

For math we ate the rainbow in different fruits, charted each piece we ate on a graph and counted what we ate in the end, determining which fruit we ate the most of and which one we ate the least of.

Our last activity was science in which we mixed colors together!

 

Lego Literacy, Comb Painting and more rainbows!

More wonderful books on Noah's Ark and Letters

(I used the LMNO Peas to introduce letter sounds for our lego literacy!)

For lego literacy I put the lowercase alphabet on legos using lables. I then gave each boy theirown lego alphabet. I then said a letter sound, showed them the letter and then had them find that same letter and mimic the sound.

For art we did comb painting in rainbow colors!

By the end, the boys ditched the combs and used their fingers.

 For math we used pipe cleaners to create rainbows in strainers (or buckets with holes, lol)

Music in colors, scrabble names and more

Books the boys loved...

March 7th was another fun day as we started with finding names in sensory bins and placing them on their copied names. This was a fun activity as the boys loved finding each letter to their name. I think the best part though was that every time they found a letter not in their name they tried finding its match in their friends name!

 

For our P.E. I let the boys put the color squares anywhere they wanted and jump from color to color.

 Math involved the boys picking a different set of colored items, sorting them into bowls and then counting how many items there was of each color.

For music we made a rainbow xylophone and I taught the boys how to make music in each bottle and how they create different sounds. The boys started unsure of whether or not to like this activity but once they created their first sound they  LOVED this activity and had a blast trying each colored bottle of music!
