We have been brightening our days with the poem Rainbow Hair. It is short and sweet but packs a punch for colour word identification, rhyming and simple sight words. Once we learned the poem we cut one up into pieces so that we could rebuild it on our own. Some students were excited to reprint the poem. Here is Hannah (and then Dylan) printing a colour word using the original poem as a frame of reference. Look at the fabulous printing. Love it! :o)
The poem will be sent home very soon. Have your child "read" the poem to you and while doing so remind them to touch each word as they say it before moving on to the next word. The left to right motion, pointing to each word, and moving down to the next line is key for the activity. To extend the reading you could talk about how many words are in the fifth line, how many are in the first. What line has the most words? How do you know? Can you name some capital letters? Do you see the word my, I, on...?
