In one of my very first posts I shared my Rainbow of Friends activity that I like to use at the beginning of the year.
The title came from the book Rainbow of Friends by P.K. Hallinan but you can use any book about a child's individuality and uniqueness. The point is just to get them seeing their similarities and begin making friends with their new classmates.
I've had so many emails and requests to share the outline but I can't because it's a printable from Mailbox magazine. However, you continue to ask for it, so I did the only thing I can...I made a new one. As long as you're a follower, you can have it! :)
We keep our rainbow hanging up ALL year to remind us that we're a family at once & always. Who else is hoping summer will stick around but is still already getting excited for the first day of school?!
Thanks for reposting this because I missed it the first time around! What a cute idea. Thanks for sharing, too!
