I thought red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple would be a great answer for a group of 4-5 year old students. I was WRONG!
We started writing a rainbow letter every morning when we studied the weather a couple of weeks ago. When it came to...what comes after blue, several of the children shouted "indigo". I congratulated them on their vocabulary and we copied the letter with purple and I was ready to move on...until several hands shot up insisting that we had not written in violet! You will be happy to know that I have found both an "indigo" and a violet marker that we have been using this week. I'm glad your children keep me on my toes each and every day!

One of the snack options I brought in were sunflower seeds. Many of the students asked if it was something they could eat. During centers, I brought out the seeds and encouraged each student to try one. Most of the kids who were willing to try, ended up liking them. I'll bring them back when we talk about flowers in the spring to show the students what they look like in their shell!
We have been sharing weather riddles all week with the kids. They have done a great job thinking of the answers, but I have to say, Wednesday was my favorite.
Riddle - I am a star shining bright. I give you heat. I give you light. I am the _____. Minds were blown to know that the sun was actually a star! I love listening to the student's reasoning skills at this age!
At recess today, some of the students found "very large" footprints on the sand playground. After consulting with several other children, they determined they must be from a bear...and he probably broke into the school. dkkklalje During snacktime, a discussion broke out about why adults are bald. After much discussion, the students determined that it was either because a monkey ate all their hair, or because it grew back inside their head and then out the chest. Have I told you how much I enjoy your children? They really are a special group of kids. :) |
