Rainbow Art

Since Monday was a holiday for us, we spent some time on Tuesday learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This is one of those topics that is really difficult for little people to learn because they cannot comprehend what "prejudice" means. They have no idea what it means to not like someone because of what they look like because we all know that God made us the same in our hearts. So we talked about all of the things that God made and how they are all special and good. We talked about the colors of the rainbow and why God made so many different colors if only one was His favorite, so for fun we did a "rainbow" art project. They are displayed as you come up the stairs to our classroom. I did not give any specific instructions for this project except to say that needed to use each color. I think they turned out just perfect. God loves us all, no matter what color our hair is, how tall we are, or what our favorite food is...He just accepts us right where we are!
