Happy St. Patrick's Day: Taste the Rainbow

EASY DIY Rainbow Cupcakes

Ingredients: White cake mix, primary color food coloring, bowls or cups, and spoons. If you forgot how to MIX COLORS click on my link. 

Pour in whatever order you'd like. On this batch I started with red and worked my way to purple. 

Next time I am going to start with purple and work my way up. Purple-Blue-Green-Yellow-Orange-Red. So the red ends up on top

 

 

 Yummy!

Rainbows- Fruit Loops Patterns

I originally wanted them to make necklaces with the patterns they each made, but due to time and this years group of students, I skipped it. I found the idea on Mamas like me

I found this super cute idea on Read-write-sing.blogspot.com

That morning for sign-in I had them cut out ta circle and write their name. For a later fine-motor activity I had them cut their own rainbow hair strips.

Craft & Writing Activity: Rainbow Pot of Gold

My lucky pot of gold

They practiced using the tape dispenser and taped their rainbow onto their pot.

They glued their lucky coins

 WRITING

If I found a pot of gold I would...

I have a few different levels in my class. I had one group respond to the prompt with little help, sounding out words, the other group trace their response ( I used a highlighter) and the last group only trace a small portion and I wrote their reply for them.
