We then introduced the letter of the day 'R' which was hiding under the felt bear. We talked about our theme 'R' for Rainbows. I had them stand in line according to the colors they were wearing to form a beautiful rainbow which I was able to take a snap shot of. I had an alphabet book which helped us to find things that began with the letter R. They were quite restless and hungry so we went straight to snack time which consisted of Raisins which only had a few takers, as well as Rice crispy squares and crackers. They were hungry and satisfied after their little snack. We then went over our R worksheets as we learned how to write both an upper case R and a lower case r. We then went to our science part of the day which I was so excited for...making a rainbow indoor. How cool is that?! Well, it would have been cool if it actually worked..ha ha. It worked in the morning but the sun moved in an hour and a half so the angle was all wrong. They were so excited to see the rainbow I felt bad so here's what you do, maybe you can try it at home for them. You take a jar of water or a glass and you put it in your window sill. As the sun shines down on it a beautiful rainbow will appear on the floor which you can then put poster paper down for them to color. Hopefully it will work for you:)
