September 8th - 12th, 2025: Color Awareness

Hello Firefly Families! 

This week we learned about colors! We did a lot of mixing using primary colors and discovered new colors we could make using red, blue and yellow! We also worked on sorting colors, patterning, taking turns during our colorful "Gumball Game" and went on a color scavenger hunt around our room. We read the books Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?, Little Blue, Little Yellow, Mix It Up! and Mixed-A Colorful Story. Our letter of the week was H. 

Color Song:

Orange is a carrot 

Yellow is a pear

Green is the grass

Brown is a bear

Purple is a plum 

Blue is the sky

Black is a bat and 

Red is cherry pie


Reminders

*Please bring in an apple (or two!) sometime this week for our 2 week apple unit! Any kind or color will do ;)

*If you know your child does not rest, feel free to send in a quiet activity for rest time for them to do on their mat (i.e. coloring book, small/quiet toy, etc)

*SAVE THE DATE: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip! Wednesday, October 29th @ Thies Farm. More details TBA!

*Check out the district-wide "Fill the Barrel" flyer below! Collection is all next week!
