Rainbow Fairies
Two little clouds one spring day,
Went flying through the sky;
They went so fast they bumped their heads,
And both began to cry.
Old Father Sun came out and said:
"Oh never mind my dears,
I'll send my little fairy folk
to dry your falling tears."
One fairy came in violet, and one in indigo;
In blue, green, yellow, orange and red,
They made a pretty row.
They wiped the cloud tears all away
And then from out the sky,
Upon a line a sunbeam made,
They hung their gowns to dry.

Today we started group time by standing in a circle and reciting the Rainbow Fairies story with actions together. We named all the colors in the rainbow. Then we did our regular group time songs and read the book- "My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Suess.
To end our group time we did a felt board story of "The Rainbow Fairies" and made color books by gluing strips of colored paper and writing the name of the color below each color. At the end of the book we made a rainbow using all of the colors.
The children then had free play time to work use the rainbow colored glass stones, the color cubes, the rainbow colored gnomes or practice sorting the colored cotton using the tweezers.
