making rainbows
Book: The Magic School Bus Makes a Rainbow by Joanna Cole
Activity: flashlight rainbows
This activity was inspired by the book. We used flashlights and colored plates to make rainbows and talk about how the white light goes through the colored plate to make colors on the walls. Cellophane would also work.
Snack: fruit rainbows
This is a popular activity on Pintrest, but a good one. I wrote the color words on the rainbow stripes to help practice recognition. We used fruit that I thought my daughter would eat, but there's a lot of choices.
This is my daughter's version.
5 components of reading suggestions:{phonemic awareness}
have your early bird replace the onsets {r} in rain and {l} in light to make new words with the rimes -ain and -ight
{phonics}
have your early bird identify words with long a and long i sounds
{fluency}
this book is pretty long and detailed so it would be a great one to read aloud to your early bird
{vocabulary}
have your early bird practice recognizing color words
{reading comprehension}
use rainbow colored sticky notes to mark pages with questions for your early bird
