Calender Time:  Can you believe it is the last day of September!?  Fall is flying past.
Fishbowl Game:  Each student chose a colorful fish and told the class what color it was before pushing it into the fishbowl.
 
Language Arts:  We had a lot of fun reading and then retelling the story of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?  We then played a memory game with the animals and colors to see if we could remember what animal and what color came next.

 

Color Scavenger Hunt:  Miss Jessica hid color signs around our class and we had a fun time "spying" colors and collecting our color signs and hanging them on the window.

Recess fun today!  So glad there wasn't rain to spoil our fun.

Songs:
We enjoyed singing the "I Can Sing a Rainbow" song and identified which colors were on our clothes!

I Can Sing a Rainbow* by Arthur Hamilton

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your ears,
and sing everything you see,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing along with me.

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too!

Most of the students were wearing the colors of the rainbow! We lined up in rainbow order.

*Parents, please note that the true colors of a rainbow are ROYGBIV: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (We also point out the silly line that talks about "listening with your eyes" and explain what that lyrical license means--we are "looking" for colors.)
