Planting a Rainbow

Today the children also listened to the story Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert.  During center time the children then painted a rainbow of their own.  They cut out a pot, glued it onto a piece of paper, and then used their creativity to paint a rainbow of flowers.  The best part of this project is that no two are alike.

For our second project the children cut out the pieces of a flower and assembled them in the correct position.  They then labeled the parts of the flower with the words, seeds, stem, leaves, flower, and roots.  We used the begin letter and ending letter of the words to decipher which was which.
