OUR FLANNEL ACTIVITY:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We magically made a rainbow from fruit!<\/p>\n

Rainbow Stew<\/em><\/strong>

Take an strawberry<\/i>\u00a0put it in the pot
\nStir it, stir it, stir it a lot
\nTake it out now
\nWhat will it be?
\nThe prettiest\u00a0red<\/em> I ever did see.<\/p>\n

\"Rainbow<\/p>\n

Continue doing this for all the fruits\/colors, until you have a full rainbow on the board:
\n\"Rainbow<\/p>\n

Then we recited this rhyme about rainbows:<\/p>\n

Rainbow Colors<\/span>
\n(to tune of \u201cTwinkle Twinkle Little Star\u201d<\/em>)
\nRainbow purple,
\nRainbow blue,
\nRainbow green,
\nAnd yellow too.
\nRainbow orange,
\nRainbow red.
\nRainbow smiling overhead.
\nCome and count the colors with me.
\nHow many colors do you see?
\n1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6!<\/p>\n

Itsy Bitsy Spider<\/strong><\/p>\n

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout<\/p>\n
