Field Trip to the Pumpkin Peddler

 The Rainbow Bears visit the Pumpkin Peddler.

Here are the Rainbow Tigers.  The Rainbow Lions, Tigers and Bears went on a field trip to the Pumpkin Peddler. They got to choose any pumpkin they wanted as long as they could carry it to the wagon.  After the wagon ride, we had a yummy snack at the Pumpkin Peddler... powdered donuts and apple cider.  The children had a delightful adventure.  Thanks to the many parents who volunteered to drive on the field trip.  You are the best!!!!

Getting to Know You Picnic

A beautiful day for a picnic at Rainbow Preschool.  Today was the first of three Getting to Know You picnics for the summer.  We had a great turn out of parents, Rainbow children and siblings.  Fun times for all.

Lunch with a Rainbow Graduate

I had lunch with Zoe today.  Her family was the recipient of the Wine and Cheese Gala Silent Auction item to have lunch with Mrs. "K".  Zoe wanted to go to Wendy's.  Then, we went to get ice cream for dessert.  I told Zoe that this was the first time I have eaten lunch out with a Rainbow student.  What a delightful time!!!

Field Trip to the BG Fire Station

The Rainbow Bears went on a field trip to the BG Fire Station.  The children got to see the fire engines and learn about fire safety.  In this photo, Firefighter Bill is playing Mr. Dress Up so the little ones are not afraid of a fire fighter with all of his gear.

The little ones did a great job painting at the easel.

Melodious Music Makers

Rainbow Preschool was a guest of the Wood County Library.  We provided materials for children to make musical instruments... rainstick, tambourine, and a shaker.  The children loves making the instruments and then they all marched around the library playing their instruments.  It was a lot of fun for Rainbow to give back to the Bowling Green community.  Many thanks to the Rainbow parents who volunteered to help the little ones make their instruments.  Rainbow is the BEST!!!!

February Art

This week the children marble rolled painted hearts.  The older children also studied about the Presidents and string painted with red and blue paint on white paper.  The children thought their finished product was really neat.  I love when the children have genuine excitement towards art.

Special Visitor at Rainbow Preschool

All three classes at Rainbow Preschool had Officer Robin as their special visitor this month.  Officer Robin talked to them about her job as a police officer.  The children learned about what police officers have on them.  The Rainbow preschool children learned about her badge, patches, uniform, radio, whistle, notepad and pens, baton, flashlight and handcuffs.  The children got to put their hands in the handcuffs.  Officer Robin explained that the handcuffs were for big people making a bad choice.  She then did a wonderful presentation on Stranger Safety.  The children were told to never talk to a stranger or go with a stranger and that a stranger is anybody they do not know.  Office Robin told the children that most strangers are good but there are some bad strangers who try to trick them.  The children learned to Say, NO!!, Run, and then tell Mommy, Daddy, grandma, grandpa, Mrs. "K", babysitter, etc.  The children also had McGruff the dog puppet to talk about strangers.  Many thanks to the Bowling Green Police Department for allowing Offficer Robin come and talk to our children about this very important subject.

Winter Art at Rainbow Preschool

The Rainbow children have been studying winter and their art projects have been focused on winter.  The classes did snow on trees where they used their finger to put white paint on tree branches and make it look like snow falling.  The older preschool children used a balloon to paint a snowman.  They glued a hat, scarf, eyes, carrot nose and glued fruit loops for the buttons on their snowman.  We have some very creative little ones at Rainbow Preschool.

Rainbow Me Dolls Art

During the month of September at Rainbow Preschool, the older children (Tigers and Lion Kings) work hard to create their "ME" doll.  The parents trace an outline of their children and cut it out.  The Rainbow children draw their facial features, put hair on. and cut out and glue paper clothing that they select for their "ME" dolls.  Each "ME" doll is as special as the child who made it.  This project takes a lot of time to complete, but is well worth it.  The "ME" dolls are adorable and the children are excited about them.

Tootsie Tulips

We do foot painting for an end of the year art project.  The children had their foot painted and then they stepped on to a paper with a drawn stem and leaves.  We call this art project "Tootsie Tulips."  It is a fun project and the finished product is so cute.

Springtime at Rainbow

Colorful sponge painted kites and Mary Had a Little Lamb art to welcome spring times at Rainbow Preschool.  The children are so creative.

Winter Art at Rainbow Cooperative Preschool

Rainbow had Black and White Day.  The Tiger class did Penguin art, the Bear class did Marshmallow painting, and the Lions marble rolled painted a black and white picture.

December Holidays and Giving

 These are the Handy Menorahs the Lion Kings and Tigers made for their study of Hannukah.  They used their hand prints to make the candles on the menorah.

 During the study of Kwanza, the children painted the 3 red and 3 green candle and 1 black candle on their candleholders.

This is the Rainbow Giving Tree with the hats and mitten donated by the Rainbow children and families.  The children, also, brought toys to donate to Toledo Children's Hospital and St. Vincent's Children's Hospital.  The Rainbow Lions, Tigers and Bears were very excited to be able to help others during this holiday time.

The Holiday Parade 2011

 Members of the float committee carry the Rainbow banner.

 Rainbow parents passed out candy to children watching the parade.  Rainbow parents donated the candy to pass out.  Rainbow parents are the best!!!

 As you can see this is truly parent participation.  See all the parents on the float with their children.

Mrs. "K" is waving and excited to see all the people.  It was great weather and fun. Many thanks to the Rainbow Float Committee.  All the colored squares floating in the breeze, have snowflakes made by all of the Rainbow children.  They cut out folded white coffee filters and then glued them on the color card stock paper.

Thanksgiving Program 2011

All of the Rainbow Tigers and Lion Kings presented a Thanksgiving program.  Each child had a speaking part to tell the First Thanksgiving story.  The children sang songs and did the Turkey in the Straw dance.  Mrs. "K" ended the program by inviting children in the audience up on stage to hear a Thanksgiving story.  It was a wonderful evening.  Rainbow Tigers and Lion Kings rock!!!
