Simply fabulous.....

Five year olds are so fun and creative and spontaneous and experimental.  So, I give them a large outline of a shamrock.  I give them four little containers of paint, three white and one green.  I give them a Q-tip.  I tell them to mix some green and white and see what they come up with.  They were thrilled, they mixed and mixed and mixed and were amazed with all the different colors of green they created.  Then they painted their shamrock and they were all so different.  Watching them do this and be so engaged could be in the list of a thousand reasons I love being a Kindergarten Teacher.
