Doesn't that just make you happy to look at?! I just love seeing it when I walk in the room!
This was our rainbow week...in pictures!
We read A Rainbow of my Own. They always love this story. Then we summarized it.
I always love to see their illustrations of this story. Some of them have some great visualizations!
You can get my summarizing cards freebie {HERE}.
For our writing we did another round of similes. This time we did them with color. I love doing this activity. I do it every year!
First we brainstorm things that are the different colors of the rainbow.
Then I did my example on the chart paper. Yes, I realize I didn't draw a Smurf for that sentence. I can barely draw. I don't trust my skills. ha!
Then it was time for them to write out their similes. They wrote their "sloppy copies" in their learner's notebook, then after I approved it, they got their neat paper.
After they wrote out their neat copy, I told them to go over it with a Sharpie. It's amazing how much they love using Sharpies - such a motivator!
When they were finished with that, they got to work on their rainbow. I cut up a whole bunch of colorful strips about 1/2 inch wide and then they tore the strips to glue down.
They cut out the rainbow and glued the rainbow and their writing down to blue paper. I just love them! They came out so cute!!

THEN, we added them to my back board! Oh. My. GOSH. I just LOVE this board!! I am never taking it down. Well, I will, but for the rest of the year, it is staying up. The pots will come down (and my big pot), but the rest will stay up. I just love this rainbow. I got the idea from A Cupcake for the Teacher. It just makes the board so much more vibrant than just using my actual bulletin board pieces. I love it!

I love EVERYTHING about this post Jen! I'm doing my rainbow board tomorrow and I can't wait! Did it take long to make the colorful strips? Thanks for posting!
