Our theme this week was the colors of the rainbow and that is what we saw at the Tulip Festival in Skagit County. We saw almost every color of flower and were able to put stickers on each color on our scavenger hunt sheet. We also got out our exploration tools so we could use the magnifying glasses to look really close at the flowers. We examined the stamens and pistils of the flowers and talked about how bees help to pollinate.
We read a cool book about the bugs that live under that soil in the winter with a tulip bulb. They munch on the bulb a bit to have something to eat and then one of them changes into a butterfly and flies around the tulip. This is a good spring and transformation book.
Because It was kind of chilly out so we ended the day with hot chocolate and our bag lunches on picnic tables under cover. The colors and flowers were amazing.
Here is our Rainbow song for the day:
"I can sing a rainbow"
Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too!
Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your eyes,
And sing everything you see,
You can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing along with me.
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.
