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!, Mouse Paint 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 one apple (or a few if you'd like to help out our apple stand;) on Monday for our 2 week apple unit! Any kind or color will do ;)
*Our afternoon carpool is from 3:10-3:30. If you arrive after 3:25 you will get stuck behind the SSD buses. Feel free to pull over to the 5th grade center (only after the buses pull up) and walk over to grab your child instead of waiting in the long line behind the bus. After 3:30 we are going to start taking kiddos to the office. Thank you for your help with this!
*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)
Here are some pictures from our week!
