I See A Rainbow (4 Hour Class)

For the past couple of weeks, the children have been participating in what we call “Color of the Day”. One color is assigned to each day and they look for things around their environment that match the color. When an object is found we take a picture of it for documentation. The children were quite excited when they found an object that matches the color of the day. Here are some of the things that they found:

RED

ORANGE

YELLOW

GREEN

BLUE

PURPLE

When we were done with all the colors, the colors of the rainbow were brought to the art table. The children were provided with red, orange, yellow, green and purple paint. They painted with some old gift cards. The gift cards were used to spread paint on the paper.

Georgia was very careful in following the order of the colors of the rainbow.

Nathan only used his favorite colors in making his own rainbow.

Adonis mixed a lot of colors on one gift card so he could make a rainbow with one swipe of the gift card on his paper.

Sofia made sure that the colors of her rainbow did not overlap with each other.

Here are some of our finished “rainbow” paintings.

Come check out our bulletin board outside our classroom to see more pictures and paintings.

Until next time,

The River - 4 Hour Class

We went out to the park to play and something caught our eyes. There was something new and different. One of the paths in the park was flooded with water. The children quickly gravitated towards it and decided to walk in the water. Chloe said that they were crossing a river. Andrew noted that they can walk in the water because they are wearing their boots. Sara replied with “our feet won't get wet”. Adonis was watching the other children walk in the water. I knew how badly he wanted to do it as well. But he was not wearing his boots. He went around the playground and saw a big branch and started dragging it. I wondered what he would do with the branch. Adonis brought it to “the river” and started tossing it in the water. Alvis saw what he was doing and quickly joined in. Adonis threw the branch in the water and Alvis got it in “the river” for him. Alvis was wearing his boots so he was able to be in “the river”. They speculated about the size of the splash on

Oil, Water & Food Colouring - 4 Year Old Class

The children experimented with oil, water, food colouring and pipettes this morning. They squeezed drops of coloured water into a layer of oil and were engaged for a very long while. This is a simple activity with an intriguing effect. Irena gently and carefully shook the tray back and forth, blending colours. Roan watched a small drop rolling up and down the pipette. Daniel said “The circle drop is getting bigger and darker. It's dark green and red and purple.” Charlie seemed intrigued while watching water move up and down the pipette as he squeezes the bottom. Lucas thoughtfully puts the strips of paper from a weaving activity in order, and then begins threading the strips through. A very time consuming activity. While Lucas was having snack, Tiffany and Cara decide to take over where he left off. Lucas comes over to check out the progress. Lucas, while looking at the completed activity said “Cool, the g
