Dear Parents,
This week we started a weekly activity for reading class. Today I read the children’s book, A Rainbow of My Own by Don Freeman. In this book a young boy imagines what it would be like to have a rainbow of his own. After reading the book, we discussed all the colors of the rainbow. We are now focusing on learning and identifying our colors. Each week we will add a scoop to our classroom ice cream cone of a new color until we have discussed all the colors. Each day we will make a list of different things that are that specific color. For example, today we put the brown ice cream cone on the board. We made a list of things that were brown. The students came up with items such as dirt, tree branches, the table, a teddy bear, and some dogs. We then posted the list on the bulletin board next to the cone. We will continuously add different colored scoops until our ice cream cone is complete. Once it is complete we will have a class ice cream party. I am asking parents to help students create flash cards that go along with each weeks color. I have created a tutorial to aid you in this task. Simply hit the word labels and begin watching the tutorial. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Ms. Gammell
