End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad storybook giveaway

Yesterday I introduced the book “End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad” with our Cooking in the classroom post.  Today I am sharing a little bit more about this book along with our fruit salad graph and then stick around to the end of the post to see how you can win your own copy of this book…

“End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad” by Eluka Moore is the first book in a new series called the “Kitchen Club Kids.”  Their website states that “Kitchen Club Kids adventures are a rhymey-good-timey story and recipe rolled into one,” and I would have to agree!  The “End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad” book is a simple rhyming story that explores fruit, colors, and numbers, making it the perfect addition to any preschool or home library…

Fruit Salad and Sunflower Day 027

The books starts off with a little girl pondering what comes at the end of a rainbow.  She believes that it is a big, beautiful bowl of colorful fruit salad.  The little girl and her brother (aka the Kitchen Club Kids) then proceed to show us how to make that big, beautiful bowl of fruit salad that she envisions.  The book is wonderful in that it explores 10 different types of fruits, some of which our children weren’t even familiar with, like papaya…

We used black masking tape to create seven different columns on our flannel board graph.  We cut out various fruit, that our preschool children were familiar with, to include on our chart.  We had a column for apples, bananas, berries, grapes, and so on.  Each child was given a piece of felt with his or her name on it.  The children then took turns coming up to the graph and deciding which fruit they liked the best…

When all of the children had chosen their favorite fruit and put their name in that column, we sat back and observed our graph.  Graphs are an excellent way to begin introducing the concepts of more and less, greater and fewer.  We worked on counting which column had the most names, making it the most popular fruit in our classroom.  And we took note of the empty columns, or the least favorite fruit of our class…

Our fruit graph was such a fun and easy way to incorporate math into our morning.  And it was a great way to extend all of the wonderful concepts that were introduced in the book “End of the Rainbow Fruit Salad.”

Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.

Let me tell ya...

With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.

God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.

Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
