Science and Interactive Writing

Five Senses Interactive Writing Chart
The children helped build the bear by adding each feature that helps us learn about our world.
Then the children assisted me in labeling the chart. Labeling is a skill that we will use throughout the year as we learn to write simple stories.

What did I ever do without my Elmo?
The finished product! Bells on the ears, wiggle eyes, cotton ball sprayed with perfume, raffia paws and a stick of Big Red gum for the tongue! I must say this was SO much fun.
This is our interactive writing on Rainbows. The children helped write the color words and created the rainbow with bingo dotters as we recalled our experiment.
We discovered that when we break the light the colors fall out. This was dictated by my children after our prism investigation.


He broke the light and found the colors!
The children created these to take home.
The note to parents reads, "A rainbow is made by "breaking the light so the colors fall out". Open the "light beam" and see if you can name the colors that fall out. Put the color cards in order of the rainbow!
