Rainbow Fun!

I love lots of color! So naturally I love teaching my students about rainbows. On Monday, we started a KWL chart and discussed what we would like to learn about rainbows. We practiced asking questions (learning how to research) and reviewed how to ask a good question. I shaped my anchor chart into a question mark and wrote the question words on that.
On Tuesday, we learned about ROY G BIV. We read a poem, cut it out, and glued it on a piece of black construction paper. We also made the boy, ROY G BIV, with a Mohawk (of course the boys LOVED that).
On Wednesday we read another poem, and made a rainbow out of tissue paper.
On Thursday, we drew a rainbow and glued fruit loops to them. Then we counted how many loops we used for each color and graphed them by using tally marks an bar graphs. The kids used their vocabulary skills to answer questions about least, greatest, fewer, less than, etc.
All of their work brightened our room and made us excited for April!
