We had fun hearing a lot of stories about rainbows this week and learning about St. Patrick's Day traditions. We discovered that an Irish legend says there is gold at the end of a rainbow put their by leprechauns!! In the book
Jack and the Leprechaun it even said that if you catch a leprechaun they need to tell you where they keep their pot of gold!! We talked about Irish Dancing and learned the Irish Jig during circle time. For one of our art projects this week we painted rainbows with watercolors and put gold at the end! We also talked about the letter "G" and made gold glittery "G"S" with glue on green paper!! During movement we used colored scarves and bean bags to create rainbows. We've said goodbye to our snow in our sensory tub and it is now filled with colored beans, plastic eggs, and several pieces of gold!
