Creating from Knowledge

Where does a rainbow come from?

    Recommended children's literature:  "Planting a Rainbow" by Lois Ehlert;  "A Rainbow of My Own" by Don Freeman.

    Octavia:  "The rain hits a shiny rainbow stone then it turns to a rainbow."

    Hope:  "I think rainbows are always there but sometimes when it stops raining sun shines purple, blue, red, yellow. . . The sun makes the rainbow because it shines on the rainbows already in the water."

    The rainbow needs the sun's light to reflect upon the moisture in the air in order for us to be able to enjoy it.  The garden needs the sun's energy to grow.  We incorporated these two concepts and designed a portable rainbow garden.  We created many patterns in rainbow order and learned the seven colors in  the rainbow.
